Oh the excitement for this much needed weekend of dancing and fun is building. Brian and I are going to Dave Mathews Band concert at The Gorge Amphitheater with my brother and brother in law!!!!! Food and music are always just what I need to relax and end the Summer. We’ll be grilling up some tasty food, soaking in the perfect weather and sun.

My first show at The Gorge was Phish about fifteen years ago and it was epic. We drove my brothers 1966 Volkswagen bus from Sacramento, Ca to Western Washington to visit my oldest brother, then over to the shows in Eastern Wa. At one point we were running on two cylinders going twenty miles per hour up a hill with big rigs and cars behind as far as we could see. There was construction, so there was only one lane! Oops… Dang hippies! The experience was one I will never forget, and I am grateful we got there and back safely in that bus. What a memory! Since then I have been there several times for various other concerts over the years, sans a bus. Different memories, one time I went back stage with Dave Mathews and hung out for the show, oh yes I did! He also kissed my cheek ;).

So obviously I have fond memories of this gorgeous venue that overlooks the Columbia River, and who would have thought I ‘d be living a few hours away from there after so many years of driving there from California. I am so excited!

Turning to the food, we will totally be grilling this Roasted Potato Salad with Greek Yogurt with some pork tenderloin and vegetables for pre show eats. It’s a beautiful setting and Labor day weekend, so naturally the entire country will be celebrating the end of Summer and we all need good food for that right? But right now in my area it’s raining, so I roasted the potatoes in the oven because it’s always good to have a couple of options for cooking the good eats! Plus look at those fresh chopped vegetables and herbs in the Sabra Greek yogurt dip below, they are so fresh and so good! Plus with fresh sweet tomatoes and peas still at the markets and in season, of course I’m going to add more goodness to this salad. Because Summer!

Grilling: You can also grill the potatoes instead of roasting them. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in foil, or a cast iron pan, or open grate grill safe pan, cook until tender, about 20 minutes.

Both are equally tasty, it just may be raining where you are, like it is here, so roasting can be a helpful alternative. Plus you can make these all year long!
