Yesterday, we got together with family and friends to celebrate Independence Day as we always do. My niece throws a ginormous party that starts mid-afternoon and goes on long after the fireworks at night. Everyone brings food and drinks and, let me tell ya, we do it up right! Here's just a partial list of what was served:
Home made meat ball bombers.
Brats and wienies.
Potato salad
Oriental rice noodle casserole (my sister in law is from Taiwan and the woman can COOK!)
Grape salad
Home made buffalo chicken hot dip.
Deviled eggs.
Fresh fruit!
Chips chips and more chips
Brownies
Cookies
Home made mini- cherry pies
More brownies
Chocolate chip cake
Confetti cake
Cupcakes
More cookies
Don't even get me started on the tequila soaked watermelon!
Rum Chata!
Shock Top Raspberry Wheat Beer
Mille Lite and Genuine Draft (C'mon...this is Wisconsin, after all!)
Pina colada slushies!
Did I mention the tequila soaked watermelon??? Oh yeah, I did!
We ate and drank and ate and then drank some more. It was a blast! Literally. We ended the night sitting on the shores of Lake Michigan watching the fireworks. Well, we didn't end the night there. We went back and ate and drank some more and then ended the night.
This morning came WAY TOO EARLY!! And it is a work day. And that sucks...big time! But it was fun in the biggest way and a well needed party break for everyone. Good times all around. Hope your Fourth of July was just as fun wherever you celebrated!
