*It’s Memorial Day. The last Monday in May is set aside in the U.S. to honor the men and women who have died while serving in the Armed Forces.*

*But it’s also considered the unofficial start-date for picnics, neighborhood potlucks and backyard barbecues.*

  
*We’re taking the day off and because the Food Safety News team is spread out across the country, we’re having our third annual “virtual potluck” for our Memorial Day celebration.*

  
*Dan and Helena are bringing the main dishes — Slow-Cooked Barbecue Pork Sandwiches and Mussels in Wine. James and Cookson are offering salads — Barley-Is-Boss Salad and Tortellini Pasta Salad. Mary is bringing a side dish — Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce. Suzanne is contributing her Rhubarb Crumble for dessert.*

  
*We’re sharing our recipes here, so you can join in our virtual potluck or use them at your next one.*

  
*Have a food safe Memorial Day celebration!*

**The Food Safety News team.**
