July 4th Fare
I am so tired. I am beat, I am going to sit for three days now hahahha....yesterday I made a cherry cobble with fresh cherries from scratch, no pic on this one but it's half eaten lol. Today, I made the peach cobbler also from scratch and fresh fruit, cold slaw, Island potato salad, baked beans from scratch, that means I soaked the navy beans the night before, cooked them this morning and then sauced them up and baked them along with a ham. My dinner is done for tomorrow. The pic of the beans is before it goes in the oven, I sprinkled fried ham over it. The peaches before the dough is added and then the cobbler all baked. No pic of the ham. I am tired but that's not all I did this.

Everyone have a great Fourth; that food looks great. What traditional food do others eat for the Fourth of July?
I remember fresh corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes, DGM potato salad, three bean salad, fried chicken, Apple pie or Cherry Pie or both, mashed potatoes and gravy. Yep, I was raised down on the small farm in the Mid-West. Miss those meals DGM made. We are retired, empty nest, no close relationship to visit, so I made small pan of BBQ ribs, baked beans, Cole slaw, Apple and Cherry pie. Yes, we can celebrate the day, and rest too.
