As I've said before, Mark likes to cook and grill, and we typically make Sunday dinner together. This past Sunday was no different. Chris and Mary, my step-son and his girlfriend came over to spend the day with us and the boys, so Mark decided to make steak and veggie kabobs for dinner. We had steaks in the freezer that needed to be used which I thawed and marinated. We had Twice-baked Potato Casserole and corn on the cob (since the season is almost over) along with the kabobs. We had planned dinner for four adults and the three boys, who don't eat hardly anything anyway. Our neighbors wandered over from next door and we were all sitting back enjoying the surprisingly gorgeous weather while the children played in the backyard. Mark invited them to join us for dinner, since we knew we would have plenty of food. I handled the potatoes and corn inside while Mark grilled up the kabobs.
Yup! All this food for six adults and five children and it was soooo good! Of course we had leftovers even after we stuffed ourselves like pigs. In fact Mark took some for lunch yesterday and the boys and I are having some for dinner tonight.
Notice the blob on his shirt. Oops! He may not be the neatest chef, but he is
really good at it. Hopefully I can get that greasy marinade out.
Why did he make so many kabobs? Simply because he fears not having enough food. I don't think we had to worry about that. He does everything like this.
If some is good, more is always better. Yes, he's excessive, in fact, I'm diagnosing him with EID (Excessive Impulsive Disorder). I think people that know him will agree. But, life is always fun and we aren't ever hungry.

Dude. That's a lotta kebabbin'.
I share your husband's philosophy. Some is good, MORE IS BETTER. My husband does not feel this way - I think it balances us out well. One gallon of Blue Bell Ice Cream for $3.50 good. 2for$7 much, much better!!
I love kabobs! What did you marinate them with? I have a wonderful marinade for chicken and veggie kabobs. Wanna trade??
I share your husband's love of food overkill! I come from a long line of frugal yet hospitable folk--it just doesn't do to come off looking like there's not enough to go around. What goes in your twice baked potato casserole?
Your husband is absolutely correct! I'm the happiest when my guests have doggie bags to take home the extra food and I enjoy it when people feel free to take second or even third helpings. My cheap sister-in-law needs to take your husband's advice. She had a buffet reception for her daughter's wedding and actually RAN OUT of food before everyone was served. Guess what she said afterwards? "I think we did really well because we didn't have any leftover food." Can you even believe that????
