We were leaving for Santa Fe on July 5th, yet we wanted to invite friends over to watch the fireworks from our deck overlooking Los Angeles. We have a great view of the city and we can watch the fireworks: both legal and illegal that illuminates the sky. If the weather cooperates it is always a grand show.
To add to the experience I created a mix of patriotic and protest songs from the 60’s on my iPhone, which I played as background music for the spectacular.
We didn’t want to cook, because we were busy packing and getting ready for the trip. We decided to bring in Bludso’s BBQ. For my money it is the best BBQ in LA. We purchased a lot: Ribs, Brisket, Pork Shoulder, Hot Links, Cole Slaw, Corn Bread, Potato Salad. It was quite a feast. If you want a big time Cholesterol hit, you can’t do any better. We had lots of leftovers that we send home with our guests.
Bea cooked! She brought (besides some wine) the ingredients for a salad made with strawberries. It was perfect with the BBQ. Darryl / Robert brought a Peach Cobbler with Homemade Ice Cream. What an ending for the 4th!
Our Tai Chi teacher Michael and his wife and daughter came for the show, Judi joined us with all the booz-news we could use.
I think the Bludso’s BBQ will become a July 4th tradition!
