I do like a good pop-it.
Jul. 4th, 2007 01:51 pm( Happy 4th of July )
I am not an enthusiastic sort of person about the 4th of July as I am not wild about fireworks or jingo-istic patriotism, but I do dig our founding fathers for they were some bat-shit radical folk. I also admire the swelling optimism of the American national character. (no matter how silly it can be at times) I also like s'mores. S'mores may have nothing to do with Thomas Jefferson writing a nice little note (with help from John Adams and Ben Franklin -who I have a crush on) telling the King that things aren't so hot anymore and maybe the colonies and England should go on a break. But I like s'mores. So I am making some tonight. I use nutella in mine. Because waiting for the stupid chocolate bar to melt is irritating. Slather nutella on a graham cracker and then add a burnt marshmallow and you have yourself a party.
We here at Anglo-America are grilling hot dogs.(Hebrew National baby!) I have also made ambrosia salad and a pesto pasta salad. We plan on hiding from the masses. Though I am sure the neighbors will do their best to blow up enough fireworks and do enough screaming to do a semi-respectable impression of Baghdad. The impression will be complete when some military helicopters fly past for one of the big firework shows.
