We're going to a big get-together where I'm guessing we'll have the typical grilled staples and sides. (No complaints here!) I've decided my contributions will be my first attempt at a fresh cherry pie with a lattice crust... and something "Texas-y." Maybe baked stuffed jalapeños or Texas caviar.

What are y'all havin'?

We will be traveling that day so I guess what ever is on the menu at the restaurant we choose.

Good luck with the pie.

Happy 5th Birthday J!!

We're having the 4th Annual Lovely Family 4th of July Party on Friday! We maxed out two years ago at 80 people! I think we have about 60 RSVPed for this year (about half are kids)! I've got soooo much to do this week to get ready but it's always so much fun!! We're doing burgers and hot dogs and people are bringing anything and everything else you could imagine, I think.

There are many variations of Texas caviar, but generally it consists of black-eyed peas, onion, bell pepper, tomato, cilantro, and dressing (vinegar and oil, or Italian)-- all mixed up and served with tortilla chips. It's better the second day once the flavors meld.

There's only one Texas sheet cake, however-- the kind that starts with boiling both the batter and the icing. A staple at potlucks and such.

Know what? I am thinking about making it to take to my son's for his July 4th picnic. If I do, I'll make it, then sit back and watch them eat it. I'll giggle inside and wait until they pass judgment on it, then I'll tell them about it.



It just might make the sun shine in Washington on July 4th!

Our big party here in Canada is July 1st, which was yesterday.

We had:

Grilled Italian sausages (those were the appetizer )
Apple Maple Ribs (smoked on the bbq for 6 hours)
Potato Salad
Ceasar Salad
Chocolate Mousse with Raspberries for dessert.

Then later around the fire during the fireworks, we had peanuts in the shells, doritos, marshmallows and sour cream&onion rings.

Do you ever send him pictures of what you are doing? I have had several family members in the service (or even out of town on holidays) and they all loved that we still got together while they were gone and took a picture of what we were doing and sent it to them. It didn't make them any more homesick than they already were and they kind of felt a part of what we were doing.

You won't be sorry! It's scrump-dilly-ocious!

That reminds me, I'll have to ask if there'll be a fire. If so, I should take stuff to make s'mores. DH has never had them!?!?!

Wow, where is your DH from?

I heard a trick one time, I haven't really had the chance to try it out though. Instead of roasting your marshmallow, pre-assemble the whole s'more, then wrap it in foil, and stick it over the fire that way. Sounds like a good idea. Not sure if it would work though. It would probably keep the marshmallow from catching on fire!!

South Dakota. I asked if there will be a fire at this annual get-together tomorrow night, and he said yes, but he doesn't recall them ever making s'mores! What good is a fire, I tell you?!

That would work well for my friend who HATES that the chocolate bar stays hard and makes the whole thing crumble when you bite into it. But me, I like blackened marshmallows , so I'll stick with the traditional method.

A fire without s'mores is a waste of burnable wood.

The chocolate does melt nicely when you do it in the microwave. But the marshmallow doesn't taste quite the same as over a fire.

Well, I can't bake the cake for tomorrow (physical problems), but I plan to do it in the future. And I thought that if I baked it, we would have sunny weather. Well, it rained, thundered, and lightninged all night. I knew it!

But it was fantastic. Washington doesn't thunder and lightning, but it was literally all night long. It was just plain nice.
