A Funny Fourth
Tonight for the Fourth of July I'm making MR a very entertaining meal. First, he's having a Quorn dog wrapped in a low carb tortilla and a fat free cheddar single for a cheese dog. Then I've made some Carolina barbequed eggwhites, adapted from the recipe my mother created for amazing barbeque chicken. It's just apple cider vinegar mixed with hot red peppers from the corner grocery store and left to marinate. Instead of chicken, I'm using eggwhites for a no-saturated fat protein souce. I'll serve the eggwhites over fresh greens from Christine's garden... kinda a vegetarian barbequed chicken salad. Then for dessert, it's a blueberry hazelnut parfait with fresh blueberries layered with nonfat ricotta and hazelnuts in a giant wine glass, topped with hazelnut oil. I had been planning to make a red white and blue parfair (ironically, I assure you) but I forgot and used up all the organic strawberries and raspberries this weekend, so it will just be a blue and white parfait. Red pinot noir on the side!

Hi April. How nice to read your July the 4th menu. A blue and white parfait! - you reflect the sentiments of a lot of us in the country. Cheers
