For Memorial Day, memorable takes on burgers, potato sala… Burgers and potato salad are traditional fare at Memorial Day picnics, but it's also fun to shake things up every now and again with an unexpected new flavor. And if the recipe for said dish is as easy as it is lip-smacking? So much the better for the cook, who would much rather be relaxing in the sunshine with guests than fretting over complicated details.

Pasta carbonara remade as a delicious summer salad Pasta carbonara — richly cheesy, creamy and studded with crisped pancetta — is easily one of the most comforting of pasta dishes. The only trouble is, with the onset of warmer weather we tend to crave salads more than steaming bowls of pasta. So for this recipe, we decided to have it both ways.

Flynn uses a few other tricks to make small outdoor spaces appear larger, which include hanging oversized art (painted on tent canvas with frames constructed of pressure-treated wood), and flanking seating areas with two love seats or sofas rather than chairs or loungers.

As canine companions in courthouses, dogs have helped thousands of victims and witnesses, but some challenges are working their way through the courts, driven by attorneys who claim the dogs are distractions or sympathy magnets. So far, all lower courts have upheld the use of dogs. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)</p>

While many children enjoy attending overnight camp, Russ is one of a number of adults who look back on the experience with less-than-fond memories of feeling homesick and lonely. Russ' tearful letters home to mom and dad are so famous in her family that her parents even read them at her wedding shower 10 years ago. (AP Photo/Michael S. Green)</p>
