What are you grilling on the 4th?

You poor non-Americans can participate too.

So, I just got 3 pounds of top round (couldn't find a flank steak ) ... The steaks are a bit thin, but I think they'll still make a nice London Broil. I'm gonna cook it rare, slice it up and serve it fajita style with fresh guacamole and pico de gallo. Mmmm!

Prolly have red velvet cake and strawberry ice cream for desert.

Then I'm gonna drink lots of beer and play with explosives!

If it's hot that day I plan on sitting outside grilling myself.Beer will be involved.Burgers and corn on the cob,if I get ambitious there are some green tomatoes big enough to fry.I like to do the corn with the shucks on with a mix of peanut butter and butter.And there has to be watermelon.I wish I had a ice cream maker,that would be the best.There was always homemade ice cream on the 4 th when I was a kid,everyone took turns cranking it.
Peck of the rooster does sound good,I have Jalepenos in the garden,maybe I will stuff them with cream cheese and grill.

Nothing, really. I'm going to be in Los Angeles.

By accident our yearly company grilling is this year on 4th July, so we will celebrate with you.

Usually we have fresh sheep grill-sausages, because behind our companies place is a sheep field, and the sheep herder is allowed to take water from our ground, so is often presenting us with fresh sheep sausages. Additional there are normally some steaks, that are brought from one of our company chiefs, that he orders from his local butcher. Funnily his and my local butcher are often matching up for the title of butcher and grill champion of Austria, so we already had competitions, but they are both very good. ^^ Because it is custom around here to grill upon the direct fire, broader steaks normally are already prepared a bit at home in a stove, so they are getting their final touch above the grill.

Additional will also have some normal "Berner sausages", they are very appreciated around here. Its like a double-broad Frankfurter/Wiener with molten cheese spots in it and around the sausage there is ham wrapped up.

Normally this is dished with different kinds of industrial mustard, an herb you can compare with japanese wasabi and some selfmade sauces like garlicsauce, herb-butter, ketchup, currysauce and cranberriesauce, that our office-women normally produce.

As sidedishes we normally have grilled and ungrilled vegetables like tomatoes, onions, corn, .. and salads that are also done by our office-women and a greek grillcheese. (So the chef pays the material, but they create it.) Normally we only have tsatsiki-salad and a green herb salad, but because this year it is very close at my birthday, so I will try to do an more complicated but very delicious classic austrian potatoe salad. Its comparable to a classic german potatoe salad, but done without ignoring basic knowledge of herbs, spice and taste. (We like to tease each other out of fun from time to time.) For later in the evening, I will do an oldstyle pan-fruitcake with different fruits.

^^^ Wow, Schnee, that sounds really good!

...you know, I forgot to get any fresh peppers for my pico de gallo. My rooster's peck would be pretty blunt without jalapenos!

Last year my neighbor accidentally planted habaneros instead of jalapenos and he planted A LOT!

He gave me a sac full. They lasted a LONG TIME. I love hot stuff, but those little guys could jump-start a nuclear reactor!

We should eat with Schneekugel,that sounds GOOD!!
There is a pepper that is hotter than a Habanero,the Naga pepper,bite of the cobra.It's from India,I haven't tried it yet.I grew some Thai peppers,I ate one,oh God......I can eat a Seranno pepper (my favorite)raw, but that Thai pepper was like fire, and it seemed to get hotter and hotter.There is also a naughty pepper,the Peter pepper.Looks like it's namesake.It was supposedly grown in the Victorian era for shock value. I have grown the African Birdseye pepper before and it was also super hot,but a beautiful plant.

I had Italian sausage. Yum!

a whole lot of ribs, hot links and other such things
