Getting ready for lunch on Inpendence Day.
These days I re-watch all seasons of Gilmore Girls, and Lorelai and Rory eat cheeseburgers so often that I just had to make cheeseburgers for 4th of July.
Flecki kept me company in the kitchen while I baked something special for the occasion.
A flag cake.
Yummy! German readers find the recipe at USA kulinarisch.
Yesterday I received a package from trnd, Europe biggest community for word of mouth marketing. It contained the Braun Multiquick 7 MQ 745 Aperitive hand processor. Similar hand blenders are available in the USA. Anyway, I was very excited about the perfect timing. Why?
I could make these special red-white-blue smoothies!
Red = frozen raspberries and grape juice, white = vanilla ice-cream, crushed ice and some mineral water, blue = Powerade Mountain Blast, first frozen into ice cubes and then crushed.
Patriotic cake and smoothies -- I am probably one of very few people in Germany who celebrated Independence Day in such style. However, one must celebrate when one has the chance.
Happy 4th of July!
How lovely! Very red, white, and blue, indeed!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Happy Fourth!
ReplyDeletecool cake!
I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to see your pictures and so very festive!
ReplyDeleteYou have more enthusiasm for this American holiday than I do! :) We had leftovers for dinner, ha!
ReplyDeleteHi Birgit! I love your 4th of July cake! I'm guessing not too many others where you live were celebrating with the same fervor. Just like Hallowe'en, huh? Anyway, it's great to see how into the holiday spirit you always get, even for other countries holidays!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I never told you how much I enjoyed your firework photos from New Year's. I just looked at them again and, of course, here in America, we primarily associate fireworks with the 4th of July so it was very appropriate to look at them again. Well, we associate them with the 4th of July and with Disneyland. But, first and foremost, the 4th.
Anyway, the next big holiday now is Hallowe'en! Have a great Summer!
Happy Haunting Holidays!
