Do you have a recipe that uses blueberries and can be served at an Independence Day, 4th of July, picnic?

Jul 02, 2008 by SandwichGeneration | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

Blueberries are in season where I live, and I use them for a dish that I will bring to a picnic this Friday (4th of July). I prefer to avoid Jello or whipped cream. Dessert recipes are fine, but main dish recipes and side dishes would be great.

Blueberry Salsa

This fruity salsa is a refreshing side of grilled pork, chicken and fish, and is good served w / pita or corn chips for dipping.

2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup whole fresh blueberries
1 / 4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 c. soup. fresh cilantro, chopped
Seeded and chopped 2 jalapeno peppers
1 / 3 cup diced red pepper
1 / 4 cup chopped onion
1 / 2 c. Tea kosher salt

Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Yield: Makes about 3 cups

What Kind of Mother….?

What kind of mother ....?

The occasion was propitious. I heard Harrison in the kitchen and tiptoed up the stairs to the dining room adjacent. He hummed to himself, and I heard the whistle of an open bottle of Gatorade. A cupboard door creaked and cracked, and the clinking of ice cubes clinking in a glass. I could hear everything requisite Harrison, happy to be himself around his favorite Delectables. Finally, the RIP and the rustling of a bag of potato chips have marked the end of his mission.

I pressed my back against the wall, trying to predict the exit route. I knew he was reading a book, which was rejected spine-up on the coffee table below. I thought he could walk down the hall to my left, the most direct path to its destination.He had his treats, and he was in a zone. Indeed, I heard the pad of his jock-Sock traces.

Timing was everything. I had to scare him just as he went along with me, when his shoulder aligned with mine. If I jumped too soon, he would see me around the corner, and the element of surprise had gone.If I jump too late, I'd be the fool who tried and failed. Fortunately, he was still snoring.

"BOOOOO !!!!" My arms flew in front of me, clawed fingers as a creature. My feet hit the hard ceramic tile, and the thud shook the firm in China.

"ARRGGGH! Harrison ran to the back, drinking red hissing against the side of his glass." MOMMM!

I knock for me, and leaned back, laughing, when its mission perfectly accomplished.

"What kind of mother are you?

I still laugh, but my eyes got wider. I was so surprised by the question.It had never occurred to me that perhaps a mother should not be out of his way to surprise his children.

As Harrison continued to descend the stairs, shaking his head, I had to consider the issue. Although I was raised in a family where my siblings and I jumped in the corners, I can not say I remember my mother and my father to join in. Instead, they were the forces of earth, shouting "Stop it!" From the other room where tears or squabbles broke out. I have not been registered in the maternal behavior?...
