The following sounds more like a 4th of July meal and as I consider the menu, I cannot think of what a better day than today to celebrate being an American....9/11, the anniversary of the day we, as a society, were forever changed.
In remembrance of our brothers and sisters that were lost on that fateful day, I will bow my head in prayer for their families and will stand firm as a proud American.
I have been looking at a watermelon for over a week trying to decide what to do with it....and have finally decided. I am going to make watermelon water and pickle the rind. I know that sounds weird, but watermelon rind pickles are sweet and full of the flavor of cloves. The finished product has a kind of "moonstone" look. The watermelon water has simple syrup, mint and lime juice in it and is simply a very refreshing drink....oh my goodness....I may have to add a shot of tequila to that.
The next item that I will make is a broccoli salad that my mother-in-law introduced me to. It has currants, bacon and onion in it with a cream cheese dressing that is simply out of this world.
So, for dinner tonite we are having fried chicken, broccoli salad and watermelon water. Dessert is the dark chocolate pie that I referenced in an earlier post.....it has not been made, at least not yet. I expect that it will be done tonite.
