Happy 4th!

So I have spent the morning making a marinade for chicken, a white bean dip, and a fruit salad. Part of the time I have also been thinking about what a great time I had last year "celebrating" the 4th...in Florence, Italy. I celebrated with a good friend and good food. The only thing missing were the fireworks.

I love America, but man, I love Florence and I love adventure. Pictures from the Ponte Vecchio always look magical:

Not exactly hamburgers and hotdogs or beer and baked beans, but it was sure tasty.

This year I will be celebrating with friends eating hot chicken at the Hot Chicken Festival, BBQ, and watching the downtown fireworks display.

Wishing you a happy 4th of July!
