Got two racks of baby back ribs in the marinade, a few rib eyes,fresh corn in tin foil, watermelon, and a green salad. Waiting for fire to subside and coals to turn white before starting to cook.
Beers are cold, wine is chilled.

Yup, I'm South African, so today is like New years day where I'm from.

On my way to a BBQ now. Just found out it's a bunch of vegans.
I passed up on a 11th/45th rooftop party for an east river vegan BBQ?
Hmmm. -

Vegan BBQ?
What asparagus on the grill? mind you, some garlic buttered portabello mushrooms, fresh corn and pinapple BBQ'd is nice (not quite like ribs and steak)

Where does this BBQ tradition come from?

Dunno, but I think being hot sunny and with family around, it's a logical choice, and we have enough turkey days (bland white meat)
-
Yeah, I think it's more to do with July 4 being in the summer.
If thanksgiving were in the summer, it'd probably be a BBQ too.
Drinko de Mayo is a pretty standard BBQ day as well. -
I had to Google that Jeff

Have a Happy and safe Fourth all fellow Americans! (transplants as well - since we all were transplanted somewhere down the line)
While the meaning has changed considerably over the years, some things like family and friends gathering for food / spirits / fireworks remain the same. While to others it may seem like all we do is eat too much, drink too much, and then go blow stuff up and make a lot of noise - I would like to believe that the majority of americans reflect for at least a moment during the course of the day or the extended weekend on why we actually celebrate.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the men and women who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces of the United States of America here and abroad. Thank you for your service to our country and flag that represent the principles on which this nation was built by the founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence.
Thank You!

Did it show up?
I'm pretty sure I made that up 10 or so years ago.
(but then again, I guess it ranks fairly low on the cleverness scale. A bunch of people probably made it up as well)
