4th of July Gathering


4th of July

Tomorrow is the 4th of July and friends and family will gather. I have many memories of our family gatherings on the Fourth. We would grill hamburgers and hotdogs. Someone would make potato salad and baked beans. Our desert would be either watermelon or homemade ice-cream. My sister, cousin and I would always produce a play for our families entertainment. Those were the good ole days. My celebration tomorrow will be with friends. I will be grilling Balsamic Glazed Baby Back Ribs. These ribs are rubbed with a variety of Italian spices and refrigerated overnight. They will bake in the oven for two hours, then I will paint them with balsamic vinegar and grill for 4 or 5 minutes. These awesome ribs will be served with Moma’s Scalloped Potatoes and my friends Baked Beans. I will also prepare a Mango-Cucumber Salad with Mint. I found this recipe on Food & Wine Magazine webpage. It is a little late to use these recipes for your celebration, but you may want to try them out this summer for some other special gathering. I hope your 4th of July is special.
