independence

We decided to do a big Fourth of July celebration, just the two of us, in part because we need cheering up.  So I put on a patriotic aloha shirt, with US Navy ships on it, then made some lovely, tender sous vide ribs, collard greens, and sweet corn, and there will be ice cream for dessert as soon as there is room in our stomachs.
And we’re watching Hamilton, which is overwhelming even on the small screen.
Have a good, safe Independence Day, friends, and watch the fireworks from a distance.
