We hope all our fellow state siders get to enjoy the Fourth of July with friends and family, a grill and pool nearby. Remember to have plenty of beer on hand. Here’s a menu with a number of dishes you can prepare ahead of time. Of course, barbecue baked beans, potato salad, grilled corn and coleslaw are perennial favorites too.
Deviled Eggs

I normally eat about 20 of these
Lamb Meatballs with Yogurt-Mint Dipping Sauce

I may be able to pop all of those into my mouth at once
Barbecue Chicken

So good hot or cold
Foil Pack Vegetables

Make sure to rotate the packs often to keep them from burning
Pasta Salad with Chick Peas, Capers and More

Some olives wouldn’t be bad either
Apple Cobbler

Ice cream is not necessary but it is encouraged
Root Beer Floats For Grown Ups

Still looking for a good vanilla ice cream

This blog attempts to collect some of the things I try to create with food and booze. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail. My hope is to entertain and maybe help people think a little harder about what they decide to eat and drink.
