For the family, I buy only organic vegetables and meat, but for the block party, I went cheap. I bought white hamburger buns that I haven't eaten since I was a kid. (You know the kind of bread that you can mush together and it all sticks like a dough-ball?) And basic hamburger meat and hotdogs that I would never serve my children. That's bad, right? I mean that I'm supporting industries I don't want to encourage and I'm feeding people food I know is less healthy. My rationalizations are that this is what most people eat anyway and I'm preserving my marriage by not overspending.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend and has the extra time to spend with friends and family. Happy grilling!
