OK - I got signed up to do a 4th of July all-amurican type deal. I'm mildly constrained because some of the people can't deal with peppers. I'm thinking burgers, dogs with kraut (a local kielbasa, actually - my dad's a Polack so there isn't anything more 'murican than those), clams on the grill, potato salad, corn on the cob... what else? Besides beer. Lots and lots of beer.

Oh yeah, you want to make really good toasted marshmallows? Butter them first. I swear, I am not making that up.
