GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Good Morning Foodies!

Well, we are closing out the first month of summer vacation and open up the festivities for the FOURTH OF JULY! I heard some mothers in the grocery store the other day say that the kids would be back in school in about 6 weeks. WOW!!!!!!!!!!

I can recall as a youngster, the FOURTH was just about POPPING FIREWORKS, EATING HOT DOGS, DRINKING LEMONADE, MAKING HOME-MADE ICE CREAM, SWIMMING, PLAYING BALL, ETC. There was not the constant threat of terrorism, war or pandemics. Our world has changed dramatically. Every day we hear of some horrific act of terrorism or face constant threats. Not such an easy world any more.

I hope you all get to gather with family and friends, eat some barbeque and some home-made ice cream, cool off in some water hole, enjoy some fireworks and just be thankful for our great country.

I also think it is another day we can still pay homage to our great military people. It is because of them that we can do all these fun things! REAL HEROES DON’T WEAR CAPES—THEY WEAR DOG TAGS!

We need to take time during these celebrations and thank the YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN serving in all BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY. It is because of them that we have the FREEDOM TO ENJOY ALL THAT WE HAVE, EVERYDAY! WE SALUTE YOU! FREEDON ISN’T FREE-GOD BLESS AMERICA!
There is still the kid in me that likes to sees fireworks and I am perfectly content eating a GOOD OLE HOT DOG!

In all honesty, my favorite menu for this holiday is the following:
Grilled Burgers/Hot Dogs
A Wonderful Potato Salad
A Big Bag of Potato Chips
A Nice Cold Watermelon
Some Great Home-made Ice Cream

Top all that off with some Firework Sprinkles and I am a happy girl! SIMPLE WORKS BEST FOR ME ON THIS HOLIDAY!!! I hope you all have a great and safe holiday no matter where you might be! Just remember, “DON’T LET WHAT YOU CANNOT DO INTERFERE WITH WHAT YOU CAN DO!”
Also remember: “EVERY HEART BEAT TRUE FOR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE!”

KITCHEN WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY, JULY 5TH!

Have a safe and very productive FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND!
