FOURTH FEEDING


I'm cooking for folks with some varying dietary restrictions and preferences, so my menu for the Fourth will be not exactly of the usual burgers-dogs-chix grilled variety. And since I'm toting it to a beach house being rented by friends, I'm doing prep at my home and trying to make everything completely portable.

It's an Eastern-leaning menu - as in Asian. Summer rolls of various stripes, filled with fishes. Spicy mini meatballs with spunky dipping sauces. Shredded chicken zapped with Asian accents, to be wrapped in lettuce leaves and eaten out of hand. Slaws and salads, yes, but all light, bright and using spices and such commonly found in Thai cuisine. I made blueberry sauce from Earth Friendly Organic Farm blueberries, though - I think I'll serve it over lemon sorbet.

What are you eating for the Fourth?

cheers,

For the Fourth - the Menu was a mix of old and new - spicy hummus with pita / guacamole and homemade chips

grilled London Broil sliced thin - potato salad made with olive oil and herbs served cold - mixed green salad

shortbread cakes with fresh berries macerated in simple syrup and wine and whipped cream.

Do you approve?
