Today at Kroger I was able to snag two decent Boston butt roasts. Also
bought two small mesh bags of petite red potatoes. The pork will be
smoked and the potatoes will be turned into Steakhouse Potato Salad; a
great recipe posted here several years ago. These dishes will be shared
with a neighbor across the alley, not the same neighbor who brings me a
plate on occasion, and a friend of hers.

They will be contributing some sort of tomato dish and a dessert and some
fruit and possibly wine.

What's y'all's plans if any??

Weather permitting - 60% chance of rain here - I'll be set up down on
main street selling my house plants that didn't sell on Mother's Day .
We have a booth at an antique mall and the owners have offered me some
sidewalk space . I have a few plants in the booth (actually she's spread
them around the store) and she likes what I'm offering . We'll also have
our two youngest granddaughters here , their parents also have a booth
at the mall and they're coming up to stock/restock . The girls have
requested hot dogs on G-Paw's home made buns ... and I'm going to see if
my loving wife will make her potato salad .

Good luck!

No rain is predicted here just hot in the low 90's. I was out earlier and
it still feels awfully hot and no a breeze stirring anywhere makes it seem
hotter than it is.

Buns here will just be Kroger's house brand. What does your wife do special
with her tater salad?

Ok, let me try again. 4th of July was the day when Abe Lincoln

I got my dates all wrong and thought Fri. was the 4th. Nope. Might go to the
store for some lettuce to make a salad. And I'll open a can of baked beans.
We are close to being put back on lockdown and there's not much open or to
do the way it is. My neighbors normally do a lot of fireworks. Might sit
outside but damn. it's cold here.

Fireworks are totally illegal in Virginia Beach. Get caught
and it's a class-1 misdemeanor with fine and up to a year
in jail. And this is the "land of the free?"

I looked up Bothell weather:
Lows in the mid-50's and highs around 70
All for the next few days.

I'm jealous. I'd love some of that refreshing weather.
Here, it's lows in the 70s, humid and no wind
High today in the lower 90s
And it's only going to get worse in the next 2 months. ;-o

In the Netherlands, "legal" fireworks were always allowed on New
Year's Eve. Each year, people lost fingers, eyes, etc. And pets got
lost, old people got scared etc. I once walked from my house to my
parents' house on New Years Eve. It felt like walking through a war
zone. Now they're starting to ban it more and more. Maybe not so free
is sometimes better.

I'll never forget one New Year's Eve. At the time, I had a nice
black neighbor who had a "gang like" boyfriend that would visit
sometimes.

That night, I was in my bedroom watching tv and at midnight
I heard 5 LOUD bangs right outside my building. Sounded
more like gunshots than firecrackers to me.

Next morning at dawn, I went outside (as usual) and right on
the grass there were 5 spent 38cal shells. Arrghh! ;-)

No. It never has been. You don't have the freedom to endanger

It's the day that "Francis" wrote our crappy national anthem.
Each weekday morning at 3:58am on NBC, they feature a
different singer butchering it. Very annoying to hear.

lol!

Actually, I see that's not the day but it is the day he
wrote about.

"Some activists are calling for America to find a new
national anthem, and one popular proposal has put forth
John Lennon's "Imagine"."

That would be cool. One of my favorite Lennon songs and
John Lennon was my favorite musician too.

Another good change choice would be "America the Beautiful'
sung by Ray Charles. He nailed it.

The Star Spangled Banner was written on September 14, 1814.

Then. Don't. Listen.

Still nope. He wrote about the defense of Ft. McHenry, which
took place on September 13-14, 1814. Absolutely nothing to
do with the Revolutionary War.

Hardly a barn-burner to sing at the outset of sporting events.

America the Beautiful would be fine. But sung straight, as you'd
like to have our current national anthem sung, not mucked about
as Ray Charles sang it.

Ray Charles did a good rendition.

Correct though, our National Anthem should be played by a
good band playing original tempo and notes.

There have been fireworks going on all night and *every* night in my quiet town for a month now, started during the "riot" weekend, some nights it is like loud and rumbling thunder. Articles in many big city news outlets about this...it is now a "thing", apparently...on some of the Chicago neighborhood FB and other froups there are constant complaints...

Here you just have to pop over to Indiana fer yer fireworks fix, many places with gaudy billboards and such just over the IL/IN state line...

Melba's Jammin' posted this recipe several years ago and I snagged it. I've
yet to make it that someone does not ask for the recipe and it gets rave
reviews.


Steak House Potato Salad

Servings: 4 - 6

A great salad without the bite of the vinegar in mayo.

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules or base, dissolved in 1
tablespoon hot water

1/2-pound bacon slices, (maybe 6-8)

1/2 heaping cup mayonnaise

1 heaping cup sour cream

1 - 2 shallots diced or snipped chives

6-8 medium new red potatoes, scrubbed and boiled until tender

Dissolve the chicken base in water and set aside to cool. This ingredient
is important to this dish, do NOT omit!

Cut the bacon slices into 1/2" wide pieces and fry slowly until crisp
but not burned. Drain well and cool. OR place bacon strips on a
baking sheet and cook in the oven. Drain, cool, and chop.

While bacon is cooking, quarter the potatoes into bite size chunks in
a bowl. Combine the chicken base, mayo, and sour cream, stirring together
until smooth. Stir in onions and crisp bacon pieces; pour over
potatoes, mix, correct seasoning, and chill several hours or overnight
before serving.

†’ Overnight is best. †�

Adjust measurements as required, but that's about the right ratio of
mayo to sour cream. Recipe is easily doubled.

I love good potstickers. There are two Chinese buffets here and both are
very, very good. But one has the best potstickers I've ever eaten and
the other one is just terrible. But the one with terrible pot stickers
has some other good things the other restaurant kinda fails on.

They've been going off for close to a month here as well. The big
fireworks display they put on here every year has been canceled. What
else is new? We can't have people congregating for fireworks but we
certainly can encourage them to amass in a crowd of about 10,000 and
march.

My wife left for Long Island yesterday to visit with the grands, this
is her first visit since the virus started, she'll return on Monday. I
really didn't plan dinner for me for today, I'm thinking an omelet
with caramelized Vidalia onions and cheese (probably Sargento Baby
Swiss). Tomorrow will be the usual 4th of July fare, frankfurters
(Sabrett all beef) braised in kraut (Silver Floss). Everytime I see
the name Silver Floss I think of a Silver Back Gorilla.

About a week ago I placed an order at Amazon for a memorial stone for
Jilly, 12" diameter black granite. It was at my front door this
morning, probably delivered yesterday late PM. So I decided to set it
in the ground.
Purchased from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Of course it's engraved for Jill... 2001-2020... outside my office
window, between two favorite trees, a Paperbark Maple & a Gingko:

Ray Charles couldn't sing on key... he spoke broken English...
actually he gave birth to Rap. The only correct version of God Bless
America was sung by Kate Smith:

Fireworks are as Chinese as the Chinese virus.

Goodness! Why wouldn't you want the bite of the vinegar?

That's sweet and thoughtful.

When I had to have Smitty put to sleep I had him cremated and they made
a paw print for me in plaster with his name on it. There's a large Japonica
bush at my front porch and he used to like to sit under it as he thought it
made him invisible to strangers. I scattered his ashes under that bush.

Yes, a Democrat for a mayor. The city had just started to slowly reopen
and he says to come join him for a peaceful march for George Floyd. Well,
that went over like a screen door on a submarine. Looting, vandalism, and
of course a huge spike in the Covid-19 virus. When you open a dictionary
and look for a definition of the word stupid, his picture should be displayed.

I just posted the recipe as Melba shared many years ago. The only thing
I changed was your choice of using shallots or snipped chives. That change
only happened as one time I went to the store and not a single shallot to
be had. Unbelievable! Then I spied chives and it's just as tasty and the
little flecks of green look appealing scattered throughout.
