This time around, being incurably lazy, I simplified the holiday feast. Grilled a marinated New York Strip steak, added a baked sweet potato, with a sauce I invented on the fly, and threw in a kale salad. With bacon. One must have bacon... LOL

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend!

In honor of my Dad, who loved everything Sousa ever wrote, and who played first trumpet in the Navy Band during WW2.
