We had a good one.  Although, I think that we may have been the only folks within the limits of St. Louis who didn&#8217;t partake of any BBQish food.  Not that we don&#8217;t love, LOVE BBQish food &#8212; because we do, but we&#8217;d had pulled pork quite a few times this week, already.  So, what did we eat?  Pasta and homemade bread along with some  watermelon.  A bit unfestive, I must admit, food-wise, anyway.  But, the day ended well.  Some of our good friends came over last night and we walked over a few streets to see our city&#8217;s fireworks display.  Wow.  I&#8217;ve seen quite a few fireworks in my day, and this was the best.  Not the grandest, I&#8217;m certain, and definitely not the most expensive.  What made it so great is that the people who were shooting the fireworks were maybe a stone&#8217;s throw from us and, consequently, the display was right over our heads.  They were dazzling and magnificent.  And, the weather was perfect, let us not forget that.  <\/p>\n<p>Next year I&#8217;m going to do exactly the same thing but with more festive food and a <a href=\"http:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/cooking\/2007\/06\/fourth_of_july_\/\">flag cake<\/a> just like <a href=\"http:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/\">Pioneer Woman&#8217;s<\/a>.  Only, I might not wait so long to make the cake.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy July 5th, Y&#8217;all I hope that everyone had a good 4th yesterday.
