I went to two 4th of July barbecues this weekend at the Brewsters and the Petrillos. Both families are old friends and I saw lots of people who’ve been a part of my life since I was a child. It was so much fun! At both of them, there were hamburgers, hot dogs, steak tips, sausages, cole slaw, potato salad, etc. All the staples of the 4th of July.

I guess not!

Click on the link below to find out what they WERE eating. I’ll stick with the burgers and the dogs, thanks!
