· Americans don’t think “lamb” when they think about BBQing, but that is a darn shame and needs to be rectified immediately. We had a big barbie in Madison, Wisconsin over Memorial Day, and there was not one shred of lamb left on a seven pound leg. That thing fed 30–40 Cheeseheads. See our recipe for a mind-blowing Bo-Peep.
One last thought for the Fourth of July (or any celebratory dinner): don’t forget the sparklers! Cheap, celebratory, and safe, sparklers bring back the wonder of writing our names in the sky with loops of light. Grab a glass of champagne and a sparkler, and toast this great country with gratitude and optimism, surrounded by those you love. Happy Fourth of July!
