4th

I like the 4th of July. Though when we lived back east it seemed to mean more, more history. The Prairie Home Companion this week was pretty good, too; those midwesterners do it up right. There's a bit about lutherans liking jello, but not red jello cause it stains the carpet, that caught my ears. I believe someone I know has firsthand experience with that.

Had my first heirloom of the season to celebrate. Pretty tasty, especially considering it's from a container plant that is 3 years old! The thing just won't die.

Dinner with r/s/l and his mom and step dad -- buffalo burgers, a noble food to be eating on such a day. Also vanilla ice cream they made with their rock salt and ice ice cream maker and some apricot sorbet that I made. Good.
