Independence Day: A Baby Weber Holiday

No one came decked out in red, white, and blue; no fireworks or flags were raised; the burgers were chicken not beef; the buns were wheat not good old American white; there was a pineapple from Costa Rica, and the Weber grill needed some tag team help (even soliciting help from a French-made indoor kitchen pan...).

the above picture may explain why the Weber couldn't handle the entire meal

and needed to call on the Le Creuset grill pan below:

Nevertheless, good food and good company still made it a enjoyable holiday experience...

marinated and grilled fresh veggies (mix of public market, CSA, and Wegman's wares)

a seasonal fruit salad that may have rivaled our Weber grill in size

and Sam's Club pink lemonade that was "as invigorating as it [was] affordable"...how can you turn something like that down?
