How was everyone's 4th of July?

A big holiday here in New York. Maybe next year I'll go to see some of the big fireworks. I didn't really want to go out and deal with crowds, so I went and watched Lorna cook and got to taste all kinds of good food:

• Chicken fried steak, which is steak that is breaded and fried like chicken. Never tried it before--it was delicious!
• Burgers with all the toppings you can think of, even pickles
• Potato salad
• Deviled eggs
• Macaroni and cheese
• Watermelon
• Apple pie
• Banana cream pie

Wow so much pie...
I helped make the macaroni and cheese and I think I'll try to make it again on my own soon.
Watermelon... seems a lot more popular here. I don't remember eating it a lot as a kid. It's very sweet and very good though. I tried it with salt on the rind like someone said.

I definitely need to learn how to cook things other than ramen and toast! So I'll be at Lorna's cooking classes this summer--see you there if you sign up as well!

Lorna is an excellent teacher and a wonderful chef. She even had success with me as a student in her beginner's cooking class, even if it was not necessarily as much success as had been hoped. Perhaps, if I can find the time, a refresher course might be in order.
