Some years ago, I saw what is, to this day, my favorite Fourth of July memory.
A photo of a boat, anchored somewhere in a river in England, bearing a sign that said:
"Happy Birthday America, Love Mom"
This year, I felt we should have a slightly more traditional July 4th meal. Something a bit like the foods Grammy would set out for us each holiday.
So, I made Guacamole BLT's, Barbecued Chicken & Veat (thanks, Matt), Potato Salad, Pasta Salad, Deviled Eggs, and a Deep-Dish Apple Pie; as well as some very sweet, but tart, Lemonade.
Lots of food, and like the stuff I grew up with, very well suited to grazing!
Happy 4th to my fellow Americans! Try not to eat too much...
Blog Party #12 has been announced, and we're celebrating a full year of appetizers and cocktails with a Passport Party. For July, we're traveling to our favorite places by way of the kitchen, with bites and drinks from our favorite countries. Entries are due Thursday, 20 July--early is always good--and I'll post the round-up 22 July. Hope to see you there!

Ramya of Culinary Gems, has asked for pictures of flowers...flowering plants, blossoming vegetables, arrangements, anything...for a one-time meme. I wasn't sure what to post...until Ramya mentioned I could submit an old photo, as well. I finally settled...

Kaffir Lime Leaves, that is! I've had to skip over so many recipes, simply because we can't find kaffir lime leaves. Any place. Thankfully, I've just discovered ImportFood.com, which claims to have both Martin Yan and Bon Appetit's seal...

Happy Birthday to US
