> I made a sweet and savory pot roast last night with red wine, worcestershire sauce, sliced mushrooms and onions. Since I ate it for lunch today I don’t know if it counts. We’re going to a picnic now where I imagine there will be hamburgers and hotdogs. Possibly some ribs. My wife made a pasta salad with black olives, cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes and we’re bringing that to the picnic. She’s also made me a yellow cake with chocolate icing since today happens to be my birthday.
Can you pretty please send me a PM with the pot roast recipe? Please???

Well, no big plans on the Fourth this year–just me, husband, and the 1 and 4 year old (big kids are with their dad this month). We grilled two dry-aged porterhouses that we had to drive to Cincinnati to get on Friday, and I made baked potatoes, spinach and a scrumptious morel mushroom sauce. I wish we had gotten 3 steaks, because the 4 y.o. ate more than I did!! Anyway, best steak I’d had in years, and was a nice relaxing day. 🙂
