Going Fourth (Hungry)

We've reached the point in the week where I share an obligatory post about the next holiday.

We both knew it was coming.

This year, we're celebrating the fourth in stages over a series of days and alongside lots of other events. And lucky you, you get to hear about all of them!

(This is where you feign enthusiasm).

For kicks, though, I thought I would throw you a bone.

I've included a recipe (or two) with each day to give you an idea about the type of food we will eat, or that I wish we will eat.* That way, this blog is a resource for tasty treats instead of my own personal calendar.

Aww, you're welcome.

Here's the breakdown:

Thursday (today): We have dinner plans with some family friends we met up with when we traveled to Chicago a couple years back before Stephen headed to Iraq. (Wow, that's a long sentence. Maybe I'll shorten it later...er, maybe not.) So, we might eat this, or, maybe they will bring this!

Friday: Get name changed with the SSA. (Again, this is where you feign enthusiasm--because I had to). Then, I will finally see some actual human friends that I haven't seen since the wedding (coming up on nine weeks ago).

Lame, Jen. Lame. I plan on having this to recover from my failure.

Saturday: Celebrate Heather's return to the U.S. of A. at her graduation/birthday/no-more-being-in-New-Zealand party. Seriously, just throw the fourth in with it. That way, we can celebrate you being back in America by eating this.

Sunday: Hang out with family and friends, and go to the Grizzlies game (with everyone else in Fresno). And, of course, eat these.

Monday: Recouperate.

What fun things are you up to for Independence Day?


*Because, heck, why not?
