4th of July
We didn’t go anywhere or do anything. It was a nice day at home with each other and no scary fireworks this year. I’m pretty much over them, they aren’t pretty enough for the risk.

4th of July
Steak: marinated in A1 peppercorn, salt, and smoked pepper. Wrapped in bacon and grilled. • Bread: homemade ciabatta using the master recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Seriously, anyone who thinks they don’t have time to make bread or do anything more than breadmaker bread, do this. I’m stunned, can’t wait to get the book now, so I can really try it out! • Salad: romaine lettuce lightly coated with a vinaigrette of lemon juice, olive oil, deli mustard, salt, and pepper. • Potatoes: roasted red new potatoes lightly tossed in olive oil then a

few pats of a compound butter madewith garlic, corn, parsley, and thyme • Carrots and peas: inspired by kay’s glazed carrots recipe. Used oregano and ginger instead of thyme, cumin and curry powder.

Jeff,
Thanks for for the heads up! Looks like a great site, I’m going to have lots of fun with the new ideas I see. And I did ask for it for my birthday.
