Its Friday night and we are headed over to the home of some friends for a little Fourth of July warm up! I'm so happy that we can take a gift from our garden; herbs, summer squash, baby carrots and fresh plums from our tree. I like to make it kind of pretty so I made a basket out of a brown paper grocery bag. I schrunched the bag up and gingerly turned it inside out. Then I rolled down a wide cuff several times till the "basket" was at the right height. Tonight I rolled it down to almost the bottom of the bag so it was like a tray. Then I arranged the fruits and vegetables and topped it off with a pretty sage blossom from the garden.
Tomorrow I will be busy making Southern Fried Chicken, Sweet and Tangy Coleslaw and Corn Bread for our celebration with family and friends. Then we will be off to the fireworks show.
Wishing you a day full of picnics, friends, fun and tradition.
Happy Fourth of July!
