Deciding to stay in and not go to watch fireworks.
It is a lot of fun and a great community event but sometimes, it is time to just say fsckit, change into your sweatpants, open a bottle of wine and kick back for the evening.
We had hamburgers and baked beans for dinner. This was the third time I mixed some butter in with the burger meat and it came out wonderful - adding salt, pepper, bread crumbs, dried onion, garlic powder, a half teaspoon of Coleman's mustard powder and a half-stick of butter. I thaw the meat in hot water so the butter melts and incorporates well. Portion out and chill in the fridge for two hours then form the patties before cooking. Lulu's appetite is a lot smaller than mine so I do a five ounce patty for her, eight ounces for me and the rest for the dogs. Pleasantly stuffed.
