July 4th Grilling Recap + Bleedin' Heart MP3s about America
I was on the road for much of the July 4th weekend (and therefore away from my rightful place behind the grill), but matters were finally settled yesterday by means of marinated swordfish skewers served with an incredible black bean-cilantro-lime-mango-poblano salad. (Clearly a dish that's desperately in need of a more efficient name. Got any suggestions?) I took care of the fishy business behind the grill while my wife rendered the salad—seemingly out of thin air—and so delicious was her off-the-cuff concoction, that I didn't think twice about helping myself to some this morning before I'd even had any coffee.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
Regardless, I hope you'll join me in wishing America a happy belated birthday. In fact, never mind about me: let's all join Big Blood in a singalong of "Oh Country"—still one of the best songs in recent memory, and one which captures the sentiment with a poignancy that's on par with side one of The River.
