For the upcoming 4th......

[gadgetgary]

Thought I would ask for special celebrations, recipes, particular foods...etc. that you do traditionally on the 4th of July. Maybe some special tricks you do with picnic foods....like what I do to make my cole slaw...simply Hellmann's mayonnaise and sugar...mixed in the KitchenAid....you don't have to put your hands in that mixture(and be sure to use the same technique for mixing meatloaf and meatballs).

In any event, keep the thread going, along with those fireworks and Happy Pre 4th of July~!

Happy pre-July 4th

Hello and wishes for a very Happy 4th of July. We will be having BBQ ribs for the 4th. This is my uncle's specialty and he won't give out the recipe for the bbq sauce that he makes. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Not sure what I'm having for July 4th, but I'm sure it will be BBQ on a CHARCOAL pit, not gas

My grandparents had that some bowl that you have next to the mixer. They had LOTS of melmac and vintage dinnerware. Now Katrina has it.

Jason,

I remember my Mom had this bowl when I was a kid.
They are Sun Frost by Therm-o-ware.....Dishwasher-Safe and unbreakable.
Since they are insulated, they keep cold things cold and hot things hot(Duh?).
I have two sizes and they also made a pitcher.

I got mine basically at Tag Sales, but, found another one recently at the Salvation Army store when shopping with an AW buddy.

Perhaps another reason to come to visit CT.....for a Therm-o-ware bowl and that Corning Ware perk.

Wait till after the 8th for.........

Love that Therm-O-Ware, Gare! I'm going to try your coleslaw recipe. I've been using mayo, Splenda, milk, dry mustard, celery seed/salt, vinegar, and a soupcon of Durkee's Famous Sauce.

Your recipe sounds a lot easier!

We always celebrate the 4th on the 3rd. Yes, I know, it sounds dumb but my uncle's b-day is the 3rd, and he'll be 70. I'm making "Red Velvet Cake", and my Mom is making "Fresh Peach Cake". I figured I had to make something so that I could show-off my new vintage West Bend cake carrier from the late 40's, early 50's.

Rise again

Peter likes soft white bread. They make it China and buy it fresh every morning. He requested Orange Cinnamon Rolls.
I use the Kitchenaid for bread.

Kugelhopf

I thought I'd go fusion with the old classic and used currants, ginger and pine nuts. I like the Sunbeam and use it mosre than any other appliance.

Spritzer

Peter's sister told me when they first came to America the neighbor lady made butter cookies. They were the families favorite but they had lost the recipe. Since I was sucking butt so far, why not go all the way.

The Bitter End

The finished products. Spritz cookies, Orange Cinnamon Rolls and Asian inspired Kugelhopf with almond crust.

Bitter end?

Looks more like a "dessert dream" than a "bitter end," dear Kelly!
