Meal No. 4088: Birthday Sliders Selection

The final Saturday of April, as storms and rain rolled in after a long dry spell, it was a warm gathering of great friends at the Roediger House. With a birthday celebration to draw us together, we kept our menu simple but still good.

I made Hawaiian rolls to serve as slider buns, and then diverged into two kinds for people to choose between or freely indulge both: cheeseburger sliders or bacon turkey Swiss spicy ranch sliders.

I probably made the cheeseburger Hawaiian rolls too large, and the turkey-bacon sliders rolls too small. But we all managed well enough.

There was also warm Swiss and bacon dip and a fresh batch of southwestern dip, too.
