I keep reading the brownie recipe

Have you tried another berry? I can get local raspberries but blackberries aren’t in season yet.

I've used black raspberries one time. It came out good.

Our friend made it with double the sauce and it was incredible! I don't know if the recipe calls for rice but she made it with mashed potatoes and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven, hahaha!

4th is brats, tater salad

 

[NYCgrrl]

Tonight was a soup and salad kind of meal. A cup of the cream of broccoli soup and a lettuce wrap filled with ham salad.

Roasted the various pork shoulder cuts: 1/3 Cantonese roast pork, 1/3 taco filling, 1/3 shredded pork. All portioned and put in the freezer.

Going to elder sister’s for the 4th. Bringing some always on hand type foods: hot dogs, spare ribs, broccoli slaw, strawberry syrup for soda and she requested crudités. Guessing she wants them for some kind of dip and hope she’s making her green goddess.

Heading out early to the best local butcher(and most expensive) for my brisket. I find the local grocery stores lack when it comes to that cut of beef. I grilled Tri tip burgers for dinner last night and made a steakhouse salad. Going to keep it light today, as the 4th is a day long eating fest!

DH is off today and I sent him to the good butcher when they opened this morning! He said it wasn’t bad when he got there but it was crowded when he left.

I have no idea what we are having later, expecting thunderstorms.

Errr..what time is dinner did you say? 25 miles from your home, I can hear the food calling my name

Okay I finally cooked the cut up zucchini and it became roasted cream of zuke soup with a bacon garnish on top. A bowl of it became tonight’s dinner.
Also made some lemon bars to take to sis’s. Better her thighs than mine…oops.

Oh my, great idea for the zucchini. I’m starting to get overrun in the garden. Roasted cream of zuke soup with bacon! yummmmm

Met a friend for happy hour to kick off the long weekend. We spent HH talking about vacation ideas. We split some apps; whipped ricotta, tuna tartar, and muscles.

Last night, we stopped for the night in a really cute town on our way to DS's house. It was getting late, so we couldn't be choosy. Any restaurant that was open late would do. Boy, did we get lucky. The place we happened upon was a gem. Unfortunately, I didn't have the willpower needed to stick to my diet, when faced with their menu. We shared White Anchovies, w/ Mint & Pistachio Pesto, Chicken Liver Pate w/ Crostini & Duck Breast w/ Butternut Squash Puree & Apple Jus (copied from their menu). I was pretty good & only ate a couple bites each of the anchovies & pate. The entree was too good to resist. I ate every bite of my half. We plan to return for a weekend soon to try more of their menu.

Tonight, DS had a brisket platter w/ fried okra & potato salad. DH is having a brisket sandwich w/fries. I'm having a fresh strawberry salad w/ grilled chicken, but wishing it was a brisket sandwich.

Brisket has been on low and slow since 7am. We’ll probably have around 10 people over. In addition to the BBQ’d meat…all kinds of snacks, & dips…for dinner we’ll have the brisket, beef hotdogs, grilled corn, grilled veggie salad, baked beans and watermelon. My friend always makes a beautiful red, white and blue layered trifle for dessert. It’s so pretty & delicious! At some point we’ll do s’mores later in the evening around firework time!

Have a fun 4th, y’all!

How do you make the grilled vegetable salad?

It sounds like you have a delicious evening planned.

Here the 4th is the same traditional things we've done for 40 years.....just less of it. 7 people instead of 80-100.
Grilled burgers, dogs, some kind of other sausage, potato salad, cole slaw, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, chips, nacho sauce and tortilla chips.
Dessert ice cream bar.

Same thing planned as posted earlier......everything is ready for the family to arrive.
The other sausage is pineapple bacon
