celebrate our independence

by exercising your dependence on good food and good times! Took Cabbage and a freshly-washed Q-Tip over to Mumsy's house for a good old-fashioned BBQ in the backyard, done our way:

First, a drink...

essentially a mojito with gin instead of rum
Then fire up the grill...
crowd-pleasing Korean-style marinated short ribs, as grilled by my fantastic mom
Then pile the meat as high as you can...

wouldn't you want to scale this mountain?
Eat!
ribs, fried chicken, lettuce and peppers, a little hot sauce and miso paste,
watermelon, and potato salad.
Don't ever forget the potato salad!
Also, don't forget dessert!
whoopie pie for America: graham cracker with strawberry buttercream
And if someone can't handle the fun, let him run free.
Q-Tip watches it all from the deck
Enjoy and celebrate responsibly! Now I'm off to see the neighborly display of fireworks at the end of the block.
