What did you eat for 4th of July?

YOUR meal sounded tremendously delicious. I hope you had a wonderful day as well.

I had a fantastic meal. My family enjoyed BBQ ribs, candied yams, delicious mustard greens, homemade macaroni and sharp cheese, butter, corn on the cob, cornbread or butterflake rolls, homemade potato salad and bread pudding with lemon sauce. There was a variety of drinks as pink lemonade, homemade iced tea, canned juices and Pepsi. This was a delightful and most wonderful gathering of people who all enjoyed the festivities and the food. Peace!!!

We many times consume hamburgers, warm dogs, fowl or steak (finding on the funds) with corn on the cob, potatoes, chips, potato and macaroni salad. Soda, alcohol, etc. Picnic form food because of the fact it incredibly is summer season and everybody should be outdoors. My family individuals many times spends the day mutually, incredible out around the living house, maybe going to the park, and then going to confirm fireworks. This previous 4th we only stayed at living house and performed with some firecrackers interior the driveway throughout the day. I performed with my nephew outdoors, only having relaxing. Then whilst it have been given dark we set off off greater fireworks, sparklers, and watch the fireworks (that have been close to my sisters living house so shall we see them from the backyard). as quickly as I even have little ones of my own I plan on happening a picnic with them, a parade (if there is one the place I stay then) and then going to confirm fireworks.

Mmmmh ! I wish I had joined you for the 4th of July....

Mine was very simple. Breakfast : vanilla pancakes with butter and blueberry preserve. Lunch : tortilla chips with a creamy salsa dip and eggs mayonnaise; southern fried chicken with a potato salad; stars and stripes cake. Dinner : I spread out a blanket on the grass in front of IU Stadium and I ate the potato salad leftovers with my friend Diana while watching the fireworks. Beautiful....!

And, since many of you pointed it out, I wanna do the same : everything was home-made, I don't buy pre-cooked meals.

We had about 10 people over and served:

Grilled chicken, steaks, sausage. Mustard and mayo potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit salad, Bush's baked beans, corn on the cob.

Snacks - crock pot meatballs, cheese dip, chips, crackers, spicy crab dip, olives, carrots, grape tomatoes, deviled eggs.

Drinks - misc sodas, beer, Mike's Hard Lemonade, regular lemonade, iced tea.

Dessert - watermelon, vanilla ice cream with choc syrup.

That enough?

I had shrimp with grilled red peppers and onions, lobster tails, locally grown corn on the cob and rice pilaf. Fresh lemonade and Pinot Grigio. For dessert, blueberries, cherries and chocolate truffles.

Hot dogs, iced tea, potato chips, corn on the cob, baked beans watermelon and apple pie>>>plus popcorn and lemonade @ the parade!

That watermelon BBQ sauce sounds really good!

Anyway, I had hamburgers, salad, potato salad, muffins, and yeah, later, ice cream too.
