Picnic Time!

Here in the US, we are enjoying a long holiday weekend. Our Independence Day happens to fall on Monday this year, so we are taking three days to celebrate. The 4th of July has always been a day for picnics and/or bar-be-cues because the weather is usually warm and most businesses close for the holiday.

What could be more perfect than a summer picnic?

So based on a totally unscientific survey of my friends and family, here are the top 5 foods that will be served this weekend at neighborhood bar-be-cues or picnics:

  1. Hamburgers (I happen to like them juicy with ketchup, mustard, and lettuce.)
  2. Hot dogs (These tend to give me indigestion so I generally avoid them.)
  3. Watermelon (Melons don't 'agree' with me, but I do LOVE watermelon!)
  4. Ice Cream (GIVE ME A SCOOP! Any flavor will do.)
  5. Potato salad (Make mine with hard boiled eggs, please!)
What about you? Are you having a picnic or bar-be-cue this weekend or in the near future?

What are your favorite foods to eat at a picnic?

We're having our 4th celebration today...at my house...I was given three hours notice.

Rib eyes, spare ribs, corn on the cob, rice pilaf, zucchini and homemade brownies and fruit.

Happy 4th, AC!
