Fourth of July with The Gombojavs

Menu: Ribs (purchased about two months ago at 99 cents a pound(!) and put in the freezer. Saving money on food is often a matter of planning ahead or even just having workable things on hand. We don't usually eat ribs, but they were a great deal so I bought them and put them aside for a "special" day.)

Corn on the cob (from the Farmer's Market the day before. So fresh and good!)

Watermelon (from the Farmer's Market the day before. I like watermelon with seeds. I think they taste better.)

Glass Bottled sodas (The first time the kids have ever gotten a soda. They were so excited! Glass bottle sodas are really cheap at the local Mexican market.)

A flag cake. Recipe here.

Gana grilled the ribs and corn and we ate outside. So, it was fairly easy clean-up! Before we ate we all sang the National Anthem.
