We were chatting at Breakfast and I mentioned the Articles of Confederation, I was not surprised my wife had never heard of it.

It gets short shrift in our "history" classes, in my experience.  We celebrate the 4th, which is fine (even if many signed it earlier).  But that document would have meant nothing without the Revolution being concluded.  The Constitution is the seminal document, in my mind, that made us a "real country".  

The French of course celebrate Bastille Day, which from my reading was a pretty insignificant and irrelevant event.  Their national anthem sounds really good, but the words are bloodthirsty.  Symbolism.

Ready for smoke. Homemade fries, grilled asparagus, deviled eggs, rolled Boars head cocktail weenies, apple pie.


Looks good I wouldn't debase it w/smoke - just me. salt,pepper garlic rub overnite or 24hrs ahead and to the grill. I'm sure you'll properly prepare but IMHO smoke ain't it

I bought some kind of weird looking sausage things at Costco yesterday. We had our neighbor's guest over for dinner, I did a beef tenderloin my wife said was great.  I'm introducing him to American wines not from Napa, we had one from Washington and one from Paso Robles (Justin).
Okay, now I'm curious. What "weird looking sausage things" did you buy?

As for us, it's going to be steaks & baked potato. No kids this year, so I bought the expensive steaks at the good butcher shop. My ribeye is about 18 oz and an 8 oz filet for my wife.

I'm going to sear my steak and then finish in the oven, as I usually do. For hers, though, I'm going to sous vide it to bring it up to temp and then sear it hard at the very end. Filet is the only steak that I really feel takes the sous vide treatment the way I'd like. And that helps significantly with timing them, since we have two steaks that are so wildly different in shape & size.

Wrong.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]Known as the crown jewel of the Gulf, royal reds are huge crimson shrimp that taste like lobster and scallops. Royal reds (Pleoticus Robustus) are larger and somewhat sweeter than other types of shrimp—and harder to catch.1[/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]Fishermen must venture wide and far to find the prized shrimp: a range stretching across the Atlantic Ocean from Massachusetts to French Guiana in South America. Still, sweet spots run along the Gulf of Mexico, from the Florida Panhandle to the Mississippi coast.[/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]When Is Royal Red Season?[/color]
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]Royal red season lasts from late summer to late fall, peaking in September. The shrimp are found up to 60 miles offshore, in deep, cool waters between 800 and 1,500 feet down. Because of this, the few fishermen licensed to catch royal reds often freeze their catches immediately, capturing the fresh-off-the-boat flavor and texture in peak form. It also makes them available year-round.[/color]

We had lunch the other day and I had their seafood plate which gace several options, I chose grouper, and it was better than I expected.  Grouper is my kind of fish, when on a plate in front of me.  Their fried okra was also very good.  The other side was slaw, it was typical, needed work.

My wife would not like that steak, if that's what it is.
