Holiday meal special plans this weekend?
Where has our Hippywife gone? She was the queen of cooking marathons!
My neighbor is hosting a huge BBQ party on the lawn, riverside, so we will be potlucking with a big bunch of people mostly unknown to us and I won't have to do a whole meal plan. But my Hawaiian cousins are coming and will be bringing some very special foods.
The other neighbor has a brass band, and they will be playing Americana on the lawn at dusk, and then we will watch fireworks up and down the river being lit off at three different places: an amusement park, a country club, and a historic town the other direction. It will be epic. My favorite holiday!
I will be making pie, pie, pie (as usual, and I love it). And probably a big potato salad as I have ten pounds of taters to use up.
My Connecticut grandmother would have a poached salmon, creamed peas and new potatoes, and hot rolls, the ubiquitous baked beans, and start with a 200 year old family recipe for creamed fresh tomato soup. I did that once. LOL. Just once.
What's everyone else up to?

1. If it will stay dry long enough, I'll grill hotdogs.
That's about as holidayish as it's getting
<<<due to lack of appetite, will probably have a $1.79 slice of pepperoni pizza from the convenience store in town. We'll see.

2. Nothing special, per se
I do have a 2-inch thick rib-eye I wanna cook up on the grill for the 4th. But I'm saving the celebration for the 6th, as I'll be in Las Vegas for 4 nights with my buddy from back home. Much debauchery will be had then.

3. This will be the first BBQ I am hosting without any meat.
The reactions should be interesting.
I have a damn good menu planned.

^^^not to be confused with the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive, who's on a temporary involuntary vacation from Skins's island
4. our usual is cold fried chicken, potato salad and other sides
not sure anybody is up for frying this week, so may hit the Lucky Wishbone in Tucson on Thursday. And then the battle to keep hungry hands out of it until Saturday. (either way, Wishbone or homemade)
we usually pack it all up and head to the next town east for small town fireworks that you can almost sit directly under if you get there early enough. and hopefully it will all get rained out, because that is how we roll around here!

6. I'm going to BBQ 2 big pork loin chops, marinated in fresh plum juice, horseradish, vinegar & sugar.
They're in the freezer still, but I'll give them a good 24 hours or so in marinade. Nice cuts from a local ranch. Rice. Some kind of salad. And a sleeping bag to finish it all off...

Well, well, well. Will wonders never cease. Except for the above, most of the replies are what I would consider a decent dinner. The dummies are slipping. I expected dinners laden with food I never heard of... or could pronounce.

Hey, why doesn't the Kali primitive invite the Tucson Tart to join the festivities?
That's just rude.

Lyrics:
Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone ya when you are young and able
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck
They'll stone ya and then they'll say "good luck"
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, They'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone
They'll stone you when you are walking home
They'll stone you and then say you are brave
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, the fizzgigs sure can't return the favor on this one.
Half the stuff in fizz's house was stolen from this guy.

How long before fizzy the freak is crying about her husband getting fired?

Wait....What????...the DUmmies are celebrating the 4th of July?
I thought they hated this country for taking away the land from the Indians and the massacre of the natives.
Why would they be celebrating unless.... DUmmies lie.... and they really don't care how we got this land, they are just happy to have another reason to party.

Uh huh. That's why they do Christmas too, even though they Hate God.
It's an excuse for people to give them presents.

DUmmies meet twice a year, Christmas and Forth of July, to renew the family feud.
