But in the past six months two of Jay's good friends have gotten jobs with him at Twitter and have moved to California with their families. So, instead of making new friends, I am pretty certain that my husband is just hellbent on moving all of his old friends here.
We have decided to host a 4th of July bbq. There's little more that I love than planning a party- specifically the food for a party. There will be a couple of people here who are vegan, so I am excited about the challenge of offering lots of great vegan options as well as a schmorgesborg for the carnivores.
Here's what we're making!
vegan nachos with vegan cheese (that my friend Amber taught me to make) and all the fix in's.
veggies and humus and dip
marinated portabella mushroom burgers
veggie burgers
hot dogs
hamburgers
vegan pasta salad
baked bean casserole (covered in bacon and hot sauce)
fruit skewers
a porcupine watermelon
and maybe some cupcakes and cookies!
And then I think that I'm going to do these little limecello sorbet cups, both red and white sangria and beer!
There are fireworks that happen around a mile from our house and we think that we might be able to see them from the backyard! I really hope so.
You know, I seriously love holidays. I am just made so happy by celebrations and parties. They really light a fire in me!
