I thought we'd have a really quiet 4th because so many people have to work on the 5th. I've been surprised...apparently our carnivore-fest (as many smoked baby backs as we can cram into two Weber Smokey Mountains) had become a must do for YS's friends, who are taking Thursday off so that they can do ribs and fireworks at the lake.
Currently the menu is:
Ribs (of course!)
Orzo Salad with feta, pine nuts, radicchio, and a bunch of other stuff
Smoked Mac & Cheese
Potato Salad
Chopped Green Salad
Mini Cheesecakes (strawberry and Reese's cup)
....after that, it depends on how inspired I get....all of the friends have been told to bring a bottle of liquor to stock the bar in our newly finished basement. I think carpet is going in tomorrow, so the end is in sight!!!

No plans for the 4th, James is working But we are invited to fireworks on the lake, July 7, by the guy who fixed our boat.
We are looking forward to that and I'd love some ideas for a picnic to bring out with us....anyone?
Cis, I posted a grilled veggie sandwich last year that I made with Katie and Abby that was a huge hit with the family. I made it on a loaf of Italian bread, but took out some of the inside. It had all kinds of grilled vegs and two kinds of cheese, and maybe hummus. If anyone wants the recipe, I'll look it up.
