Labor Day is coming!!

Yeah, something the working class does all the time.

I’ll make it American-themed, with the sandwich course being PBJ, bologna-and-cheese, and tuna salad, followed by buttermilk biscuits in place of the scones, and the desserts will be mini apple pies and some Jell-o.

well, when I was working, it simply meant a welcome three-day weekend. Now that I'm retired, it's a day like any other day. I'll decide when I get there what the meal will be. Like most other days.

The only dates in the year that really matter to me (food-wise) are Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.

Fine, fine…I’ll make it iced tea…and a sweet tea at that!

Funny but true. If you order "tea" down here in the South, you are going to get iced tea. If you want hot tea, you have to specify hot tea, which gets you a cup of hot water and a tea bag.

That’s why I drink (hot) tea at home and order coffee when I’m out. Tepid tea is not for me.

Most likely that tea is going to be thick, dark, very sweet iced tea. If you order hot tea, doubtful you will be served any milk and will get stared at as if you have two heads. And you aren't going to get any cress or cucumber sandwiches or "biscuits" (and of course if you ask for biscuits they are not going to be cookies, LOL) with it, nor will you get any Coronation Chicken!
