Fourth of July Food
What did everyone eat? We had:
Grilled cheeseburgers Potato salad Baked beans Coleslaw Watermelon (Some old man at the grocery store rejected the watermelon I had put in my cart and thumped a bunch of watermelons until he found this one, which he pronounced good.) Homemade ice cream. (Next time, I think the recipe needs a pinch of salt.) Later, at the Fourth of July celebration, I ate a deep-fried Snickers bar. Tara |

In fact, we had some rather severe "warnings" going on here; the NWS was suggesting straight line winds up to 70 MPH (I call that more than WIND). The storms let up but the rain didn't until well after dark. So I'll be doing my cooking out today. Looks (so far) like we won't have rain. This will be the first time in about 3 weeks we haven't had any. So, I'll be grilling the brats (yes, I'll give them the requisite simmer in beer for a few minutes first). I grill these indirectly over hot coals, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned and cooked through. As for the squash, what I do with those is simple but delicious. After slicing off the blossom and stem ends, I cut them into quarters. I really love those Reynolds grilling sheets and use those for things like this. The squash is lightly brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt & pepper. (Sometimes in a fit of pique I will even sprinkle dried marjoram on them!) Grill, skin side down first, for about 10 minutes, directly over the coals (but on the foil). Then turn and grill cut side down. Brush with a little more olive oil when turned. About another 10 minutes (or as needed) until tender. The squash(es) brown a little bit on the outside and taste fantastic. I adore grilled squash. It's got a naturally sweet taste. Jill |

If it doesn't rain, I'll do the same for lunch today since I already pulled the ribs from the freezer last night. Otherwise I'll have to cook them in the oven. Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation...

Our local here in Inverness has several Indian dishes on the menu. Chicken
Tikka Masala and Chicken or Lamb Balti. Also a couple of Mexican dishes and several pastas (more or less Italian). All set against traditional pub grub.

Not sure how 'close' they would be had we not been serving food and had the pool heated to the upper 80s. For lunch we had pulled pork sammiches from butts smoked the day before. I used the Dinosaur BBQ "Cajun Foreplay" rub on 'em. This was for the very few who showed up early to help set up (and swim). For dinner, I made Cornell Chicken (cooked on a 3-block-high block pit for 2 hours) - 70 halves (similar to 'Brooks BBQ" - but better), plus corn-on-the-cob & salt potatoes. We also provided 2 kegs o' brew. Several of the 'friends' brought a dish-to-pass like salads, beans, etc. My memory fails me probably because when it was time to eat, I had been flippin' chicken racks & sippin Scotch for 2 hours. I guess a good time was had by all: most threatened to come back again. In the early 80's we did this every July 4th (one year over 130 epople!) like clockwork. The first year we *didn't* have a July 4th party I got attitude from people who thought that we had had the party and didn't invite *them*! Happy weekend, all!, Van |
