Four of us went on a European cruise, and we opted for the fancy dining room. More than once we gazed wistfully at our Duck with Apricots or our Trout with Arugula Confiture, and somebody would say

"I'd just like to have a good hamburger."

So when we got home, we got over our jet lag, and then the DH grilled burgers over a wood fire in the back yard. I'd been having migraine symptoms, so I declared that I was going to keep things simple. Thus the menu:

burgers
buns made with the help of the bread machine
corn on the cob (easy in the microwave)
sliced tomatoes
strawberries
cherry pie a la mode (from the grocery store)

Nobody missed the traditional cole slaw and potato salad. Nobody wanted strawberries, either. The cherry pie was a big hit.
