Be safe on the roads, and don't OD on barbecue! And don't run with firecrackers.

You are no fun! Have a happy 4th, don't set yourself on fire with the barbecue and may you not have rain on your fireworks.

If I remember, I'll rip a copy of "The 1812 Overture" from my CD when I get home and post a link here.

The 4th is my all time favorite day. It's say yes! It is Summer in the USA. It was the one day of the year as kids we got to play with explosives and blow
stuff up!

Here you go! This is the 1958 recording of Antal Dorati conducting the the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. It is widely regarded as the best recorded version
of the piece ever.
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture I don't really understand how a piece of music representing and celebrating Russia's defeat of Napoleon became so culturally linked with America's celebration of its independence from England. Must be the cannons... cannons are cool. But however it came about, I listen to this piece repeatedly on every July 4. I'll be watching it performed tonight by our local symphony orchestra. Enjoy.
And Happy Birthday, America!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday U.S. of A.!!
I love the 1812 Overture. When I was a kid my mother had a version recorded by the Russian Symphony Orchestra, we listened to it often, just about every Saturday while cleaning. Thanks for the link.

Does it help with cleaning? I'll try anything. Except actually making time to clean.
did everyone have a good 4th? My brother and his twin brother (who's not my brother, so there ya go) made something they called a Bacon Explosion in the smoker. It looked underdone to me, but all the guys at the party seemed to think it was awesome. To each his own, I suppose. Plus due to a scheduling issue, they weren't done grilling til after 9, so I got to drive home and see EVERYONE's fireworks show, which was actually pretty cool. I may make that part of my plan next year. And we saw Star Trek at the Imax last night, which was pretty neat. I hadn't seen it at the actual theatre, and it was a sell-out on a Sunday. Figure that. Everyone's fingers all present or accounted for?

Well, look on the bright side: you probably didn't spend any time in the emergency room. So it's for the best.

I was driving back to Kansas from Ohio one Fourth, so we got to see fireworks all along the way. It was actually kind of cool.

We went to the little parade in town which is very Americana hometown style. Anyone can be in it that wants to. Very fun. We can see the huge local fireworks
from our front yard. Our town lights them off at the high school. My husband smoked a brisket, 9 racks of ribs, and 5 tri tips, we invited friends and have no
left overs. I even went Martha Stuart-like and made a red velvet sheet cake with cream cheese frosting and let the kids make it a flag with blue berries and
raspberries.

You're just saying no leftovers so we won't descend like vultures upon your house, right?

If you like to smoke things, BJ, you might try the Bacon Explosion my brother and one of his friends did. (Note: I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.
But what I'm about to describe just cannot be healthy. Consume at your own risk.) It was bacon wrapped around sausage wrapped around bacon. It was like a
meatloaf without any of the other things that go in meatloaf. About the size and shape of a loaf of ciabatta bread. They smoked it all afternoon. It was a big
big big hit among the gentlemen at the barbecue that day. More than half of them put slices of it on their hamburgers. And one enterprising young man (who is a
nurse by profession) also put a portobello mushroom on his baconated hamburger. If you like bacon, and smoking things all day long, then this is your thing.
**Please consult a doctor before trying to achieve bacon nirvana. Side effects may include explosive high blood pressure, increased life insurance premiums, and uneven tire wear. In the event that bacon nirvana lasts more than four days, discontinue consuming bacon nirvana immediately and get thee to the nearest emergency room.**
