Independence Day

This is a guest posting from Marcos, while Patrick and Morgon Mae are out of town for the weekend Jamie and I are blog sitting (as well as getting the entire box of food this week). This week the box contains 1 bunch of collards, red spring onions, scads more scapes, a delicious looking head of lettuce, parsley, basil, more fantastic peas, and two pints of strawberries (although there were more like a pint and a half before they made it to the fridge).
In honor of the holiday we are celebrating in the most American of ways; grilling, drinking and watching things blow up! Of course all of this is happening in the company of friends, we the people after all. We are grilling Thousand Hills Acres hot dogs, eating a salad made from our box and our garden pickings, and drinking my attempt at a Red White & Blue Sangria, made with white wine strawberries and blueberries. Unfortunately the blueberries bled and now it's a Blue Red & Blue Sangria, luckily it tastes just as good.
