As we prepare to turn the calendar page from June to July, many of us are packing up to leave town for a long holiday weekend over the Fourth of July. And if we aren’t leaving, then we are at least contemplating how to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day. Most of our celebrations will include a cook-out or a meal. What’s on your menu?
At the Walter house, we like to prepare a grilled supper for the Fourth. Joe will put a brisket in the smoker, and I’ll prepare vegetable skewers. We like grilled onion, squash, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
Lifestyle magazines are full of glossy photographs of recipes featuring red, white, and blue fruits and vegetables to carry out a patriotic party theme. How about watermelon and tomato salad, potato salad, or blueberry and strawberry trifle? Flag cake, anyone? Or, are hamburgers and hot dogs more your style? Just Google the Internet for “Fourth of July Foods” and you’ll find a plethora of ideas to inspire you.
Whatever strikes your fancy, you are sure to find many of the items you need for your Fourth of July party right here at The Wednesday Market. We have blueberries – that’s for sure! And potatoes for potato salad. And Angel Food Cake and Sour Cream Pound Cake for trifle. And wonderfully rich cream to whip or turn into ice cream. And, the list of possibilities goes on and on!
Thank you for supporting locally grown agriculture and for choosing to buy locally. We’ll see you on Wednesday.
Thanks,
Beverly
