Re: 4th of July Party Menu
Thumbs up from me!
The only thing I might do is have a stash of snacky things ready for later in the evening.
And I don't know what a blueberry moonshine shot is, but I'm pretty sure I want one!

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Yum, Yum, Yum, I think everything looks awesome. If you need an easy "make-ahead" Orzo Salad recipe I have a few.... but I don't think you'll need one.
Have fun!
