Independence Day - The Fourth of July

Every Fourth of July, many people in the United States celebrate Independence Day.  The typical celebration is a picnic, or party where the food served is typical picnic food.  So, if you are hosting a party what will you need?

First, you will need something to serve the food on.  Paper plates and cups, along with paper napkins, are often used to serve a large gathering.   And plastic utensils are also called for.  These work well whether you have a family picnic, bring a meal to a public celebration, or eat indoors.  Choose a patriotic theme, and make certain you have enough for those pieces accidentally dropped or thrown away, especially if there will be children at the event.


 

Decorations always help, especially for indoor events.  While well chosen serving pieces can help with the decorations, table centerpieces, scatter decorations, banners, and even balloons can be used.  And it is always appropriate to set out American flags.




You might also want to dress the part.  A patriotic cap is a nice accessory and can be reused on other occasions.

Since the food is likely to be grilled, using grilling baskets is a good choice.  Choose the ones that are nonstick, and not only will the food not be damaged, but cleaning will be easier.  And these baskets allow flipping multiple burgers at one time, so they all cook alike.  In fact, there are special grilling baskets for different kinds of food.   I suggest one for burgers, one for hot dogs, and one for ears of corn.
