Happy 4th of July

Dear Charlie,

I know you love celebrating , so I had to post something today.
Being in Marseille, I'm afraid, we'll have to wait a few more days until Bastille Day for the fireworks.
But that's no excuse not to have fun.
To me, July 4th  automatically means  a picnic or a BBQ.
It's  much more about having a great time with friends and/or family than a patriotic waving around tor he Us flag  or decorating the house in red, blue and white.
 So I figured I'd share a few recipes in case you want to share in the fun.

And here's a link for the  veggie members of the OIB community who think that it's hard to escape meat on July 4th

Dig in! (or Bon apétit)
While cooking or eating, you might want to listen to good music.
