Dinner for me was about a third of a rib-eye steak, half a baked potato with butter, three tablespoons of corn in butter, and half a can of Monster energy drink. Which should give you an idea of what I’m having tomorrow! 
I guess I shouldn’t have had that 1/3-pound burger for lunch.
Clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl plus some salt water taffy (watched fireworks at Pier 39).
Our holiday cookout is tomorrow…
I watched fireworks on the bay. Thousands of people brought skyrockets, mortars, and all sorts of things that fly up and go boom. There are still a few explosions going on, but they mostly stopped an hour ago.
We weren’t planning on staying, but we missed our ferry back to Jack London Square so had to stick around until service resumed. I had family from South America with us anyway, and they never get fireworks shows like a typical July 4th one (though ours is still pretty modest by USA standards) so they enjoyed it a lot.
Fajitas. It don’t get more American than that.
Just so long as you pronounced them “Fa-Jee-Tas”.
I had nothing out of the ordinary. At some point yesterday I fried some eggs and at another point I has some shrimp.
Last night was Taco night in the JT household.
For breakfast we had English muffins.
Our cookout was Friday, and we had hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, pork chops, potato salad, pasta salad, cole slaw, and fruit salad. Yesterday I was home alone so I sauteed some shrimp and scallops and topped them with lemon dill sauce.
Bone in Rib-eye. Baker. Home made cole slaw. Nothing to do with the 4th of July stuff. Just whats for dinner. My Wife and I are working on a new fence for the dogs. It had been a long day. I picked up the Rib-eyes on Saturday. For some reason they where half off.
Tonight is Pasta Primavera.
Black Angus filet mignon with sauteed mushrooms and green onion, and a bodacious baked potato. Corn, green beans and a crisp chardonnay made it a most perfect meal.
I had hamburgers, corn on the cob and mushrooms sauteed in butter and wine with pine nuts and rosemary. The butter was a mistake, I should have used olive oil instead, otherwise it was a near perfect meal. With a ten month old going out wasn’t likely to happen.
Braised and barbecued beef back ribs (home-made), brown sugar and bacon baked beans (canned), macaroni salad (home-made), and potato chips in both barbecue flavor and sour cream and onion.
Then I went to work and brought leftovers with me for lunch.
So did you have to buy twice as many as usual?
For lunch I had a corn dog and “fresh squeezed lemonade” at the County Fair. For dinner I had Trader Joe’s BBQ pork rib/baked beans combo (surprisingly mediocre), and KFC coleslaw (tasty as always), washed down with some Lagunitas IPA.
Grilled a rib-eye for the hubby and a huge slab of salmon for me. Baked potatoes and green beans on the side, along with bread and homemade butter.
I’ll be having either a salmon omelette or a salmon hoagie for lunch today with the leftovers- I haven’t decided which yet.
I like omelettes with smoked salmon. I haven’t tried one with leftover salmon. I usually just reheat it, or else make it into a salmon salad.
lunch: Crab salad, 4 bean salad, fresh fruit, slice of bread, bratwurst, beer.
dinner: iced tea, barbecued chicken in a pita, spinach, fresh fruit.
Let’s see… Pork chops with some South American sauce I can’t remember the name of, Polish sausage, and corn on the cob, all grilled, plus homemade spinach dip with pitas, cole slaw, and assorted raw veggies.
The party I was at, there were two Russians, a Lithuanian, an Argentinian, a Spaniard, and myself the only gringo. It really doesn’t get more American than that.
For breakfast, I had a couple of eggs (over easy, if anyone’s keeping track), grits, a banana and coffee.
For lunch, it was a grilled burger, sweet corn with salt, pepper and butter, a huge slab of Big Boy tomato with cottage cheese and iced tea. Mmmm! Garden stuff in season.
For supper, it was festival food: barbeque, roasted sweet corn on the cob, a few bites of my companion’s funnel cake, Polish sausage with peppers and onions and onion blossom (to be fair, he also sampled mine 
) and sugar free lemonade.
Watching the fireworks (before they got rained on): some homemade peach ice cream (more festival food).
About as American as you get.
