I bought a frozen Gyros kit the last time I was Walmart, we're going to try it out tomorrow and of course I bought several small bowls of watermelon chunks at Publix, just wouldn't be the 4th of July without watermelon. What are you fixing?

Nothing special, but I was just thinking about the family picnic lunches we would have for years. One young niece would always make a patriotic dessert. Sometimes a pie or cake decorated for the 4th or a special fruit bowl of red, white and blue. We always made homemade ice cream and took turns cranking it. It was always just vanilla, but my brother and his wife would make their own freezer to bring, full of usually chocolate/cherry ice cream. Mom would fix corn on the cob, potato salad, baked beans and a brisket or fried chicken. Dad would sometimes grill burgers and hot dogs. I would usually be requested to bring the deviled eggs. It took 2 dozen to feed everyone!! We would do firecrackers and snakes during the day with the little ones. Always had a couple of the 'big kids' try to blow things up. We would have the big fireworks after dark and my brother was always the one to light and set them off. I really miss those days. :-(

What are you fixing? I use to be able to find those at our local grocery store, but they quit carrying them. They were really good and I miss them. We had a really nice local Greek place but they have recently moved to a bigger town farther away and they raised their prices quite a bit. We would buy their 'platter' which was the gyro meat, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pita bread and sauce. It made several meals for us. WKM, you really made me hungry!!
