Great Food: 4th of July Episode

I realize this is oh about a week late but here it is! Nate and I headed back to Viroqua for the Fourth.

We decided to do a little Mexican Fiesta (which Rachel comically pointed out is pretty much anarchy on the 4th of July), but it was seriously delicious.

We made Rum Glazed Shrimp and Mangos, and Steak, Avacado and Radish Tacos (not pictured). Yum, Yum, and Yum. The only thing missing was a huge pitcher of mojitos.

Tell me you wouldn't eat this vs. a crappily grilled burger and some Lay's potato chips?

For those of you still shaking your head in disgust over our anti-fourth of july dinner, you will be happy to know that we had good old BBQ chicken, cold beer and some corn the next night.

Awww! Nice pics. The food as always looks amazing.

I need to post my Fourth of July pics today too...

Getting anxious/sad to leave town. Am going to miss everybody.

It was terrific having some new recipes prepared in the Ekern kitchen, (and cold beer)... but best of all is having family home to share it with.
