4th of July BBQ

Monterey decided to go all curmudgeonly this year & cancel the big fireworks display over the bay (I don't care if we don't have a city budget, no fireworks display just stinks!), so Bill and I decided to host a BBQ on our patio. We invited our friends over for a traditional 4th of July feast, including hot dogs & hamburgers with all the fixin's, potato salad, cole slaw, "hot olives", margaritas, and beer, beer, beer. The sun actually came out right before the afternoon event, and we didn't have to bust out the patio heater and chiminea until the sun went down.

My new cupcake cookbook came in handy - I made some patriotic cupcakes for our dessert.

Our littlest party attendee gave the cupcakes high marks!
