One of the July 4th parties we were invited to attend is a costume party - "Come dressed as your favorite political figure, past or current."
The hosts are having a signing of a Declaration of Independence replica and are handing out mini-Constitutions as party favors. Then they will have a duel in the backyard. I don't know if that's s'posed to be a Hamilton-Burr duel or what. The hostess, a rabid Ron Paul fan, is dressing up as Elizabeth Adams. While that sounds fun, especially if Sam Adams will also be there in plentitude, I don't think we'll make it. I can't decide whether to dress as Jackie O. or Marilyn Monroe. No, that's not why.
But if you needed some patriotic party inspiration, you don't get much better than that.
The party that we are attending will be costume-free but full of delicious gourmet shit. I'm in the process of preparing ceviche and also clams -n- chorizo. This is nothing compared to what the hostess can turn out.
Hopefully our city's fireworks won't be washed out!
