the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. It is almost more nostalgic then christmas. I will always remember caravanning with all of our friends and neighbors to head to herman park in Houston to watch the fireworks. We would lay the same green blanket every year which permanently smelled like bug spray. It was always such a happy moment, as if things were still for the brief time that fireworks would rain down on top of us.
This was the second year ever I did not spend the 4th of July with my family. I did have the usual Aunt Urma potato salad and was without chocolate chip cookie cake. However, I was with two great friends in the Hamptons (can't complain). We made a traditional 4th meal... While we were without a grill we used the oven to bake some fresh farm stand corn (which could have been eaten raw it was so sweet!) and broil some good ole hot dogs. Pesto pasta and tomato with mozzarella and basil was the perfect accompaniment.
