    Today, July 4th, our Independance Day Celebrations.

    Typical is watching a parade, finding a local carnival and watching fireworks.
    And of course the grilling of meat. And the drinking of beer.

    Have my flat iron steak marinating in burbon.
    Potato salad done, will roast corn on the grill
    Ice cream with strawberries.

    And maybe beer.

    But for sure a martini.

    To all USA folks, be safe and happy 4th of July.

          Happy Independence Day :dbgrtmb:

          A few years back I spent Independence Day up in the Rockies at Minturn. Their fireworks display, from the side of the mountain, was awesome :thumbsup:

          Had a great day yesterday with two couples over for a BBQ ... tortillas and dips, home-made hamburgers, hot dogs/chili dogs, coleslaw, potato salad and grilled corn on the cob followed by Double Lemon Cheesecake and Raspberry Merinque Crush ... sadly Iceland didn't have Alabama Mud Pie, Key Lime Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie. We had Mojitas and beer and wine.

          I just had fruit and cheese for lunch today and probably the same tonight.
