After I finish this blog entry, I’m off to Safeway
to do my 4th of July grocery shopping.
You know the deal, some paper plates with stars all
over them, bratwursts, buns, mustard, Cool Whip (making one of those American flag Cool Whip cakes this year, holler!!). But things are different at our home. We usually need a bigger shopping basket, as
we don’t stop with the typical standard fare.
What’s the addition to our 4th of July
menu?
Shrimp
tacos! On our
picnic table, next to the potato salad and watermelon, you’ll see various dishes
of guac, pico, and cheese. You'll also see us grilling up some good sized shrimp next to the burgers and brats. Shoot sometimes the smoker is going too if we're making ribs (we like to eat, here I go off on a tangent again). Not one, not two,
but at least three varieties of tortillas.
Salsas, well that usually turns in to some competition with one of our
guests bringing over his favorite or my husband making his world famous
salsa.
Who says you have to eat pasta salad on Independence
Day? Is that written somewhere? So that’s what’s on the menu in this
household on Wednesday. Tomorrow’s
shopping trip will be all about the beverages.
Do we go with traditional red, white, and blue beer (Budweiser), or
Coronas and Pacificos?
Happy 4th of July everyone. Have a wonderful celebration with your family
and friends.
