It's that time of the year again. Most people will be at a bbq or pool party. What types of food/drink are you bringing and/or most looking forward to?

For me, I'm making pasta salad and probably some type of summer cocktail.

Mountain Dew and Mad Dog 20/20(kiwi lime) is a pretty great place to start.

If you don't dig bum wine, maybe try a Vodka/club soda with a lime. It's pretty great. two thirds water, basically. Hydrate and get smashed all at the same time with very low cals.

Any way to dress it up besides the lima? Umbrella? Some mint, mayhaps? Is a smoky glass tumbler appropriate here?

Extra shot of vodka works well, or maybe add some Pimms No.1, which is also known to be delish.

Also, Pimms Cup is super good(but not very alchololy :sad:). Pimms No.1, cucumber slices, lime, lemon, ginger ale.

Beyond that, take it to the Dark and Stormy thread.

A LOT of you are going to get yourselves hurt if you take on too much on the Fourth.

You are going to want to go out on your decks TONIGHT and grill some burgers and hot dogs, and get your timings/heat down before Friday. While you are doing that, and this is absolutely key, you should be rough ridin' POUNDING cheap domestic beer. I mean it. You should be a solid 5 before the food even gets off the grill. A ton of guys fail to do this, and then on Friday, under game day tempo, their bodies do not know how to react. Happens all the time.

Pros (your Clams, your Limestones) will work on their system repeatedly throughout the early summer. Clams has a 6 White Russian - 6 Deviled Egg cooking routine that is very repeatable and very effective. Limestone, on the other hand may not be the gourmet that Clams is, but he will wreck a 12 pack just getting the god damn propane hooked up...

If you're gonna be around kids and fireworks and water, make sure someone is watching the kids while you pound cheap cold ones. This is important

Can confirm this is a great plan.

Does making them fetch you fresh cold ones count as watching them?

If you see someone drinking wine of any kind, take it from them and throw it on the ground. This isn't France's Independence Day fellas.

My sister actually just asked my wife to bring a gourmet cheese to our party at my folks place. I think it's a foreign cheese.

I am going to have a pretty great Mission Accomplished moment at some point in the early PM on Friday. I can tell you that.
