Hi, friends! Happy Independence Day weekend! For the Fourth, we had an All-American cookout feast: Veggie dogs, squash in foil packets, and chipotle-dusted corn. And beer – one of our seasonal favorites, Derecho Common, from our friends down the street at Port City Brewing!
In fact, it was a pretty locally sourced meal all the way around! We topped our veggie dogs with sauerkraut from No. 1 Sons, our squash came from our CSA at Great Country Farms, and our corn came from … well, frankly, our corn came from Harris Teeter, so it’s not quite as local as the rest. C’est la vie!
We didn’t venture very far from home for fireworks – just down to the Potomac to watch all of the displays from around the region, albeit in smaller stature than if we were up close and personal with them – and we had a delightful time! And the caramel-banana pie I made for dessert added the perfect grand finale to the evening. A wonderful day, all the way around!
