Who is cooking for the Fourth of July?

[Shermie]

Who is cooking for the Fourth of July? I know that y'all plan to do something. I'm cooking, but it'll be indoors, since we are not allowed to cook outdoors.

 

[Sass Muffin]

I'll be at work the night of the 4th and 5th.
I'll be going in just as the fireworks start.

I'm thinking lamb shish kebabs one day this weekend. Maybe babyback ribs another day.

What are you cooking, Shermie?

Either baby back ribs or a brisket, potato salad, mac & cheese, baked beans & cornbread.

Cooking a small ham. Debating smoker or just oven. Weather might have some affect.

Just got back from shopping for groceries. I'm dog-tired from walking, standing at the trolley stop & walking some more!!!

My intention is to grill Nathan’s quarter pound hot dogs With potato salad on the side.

Those are the heat waves, always gorgeous.

I had a fire going from noon till dinner time. I was channeling camping which I miss.

I was tasting some of the food that I cooked. Then I lost my appetite for some!!

That is mainly because as a good cook, you have to taste things as you go along to make sure that it will be right for you & the guests. If your heart isn't in it, then the quality isn't in it either!!
