The Fourth of July

2009.07.04
Ingredients for a cherry clafouti, dessert for a 4th of July luncheon

The local (Takoma Park) fireworks display is at a school right down the street from the house - we ended up sitting with our neighbors who we ran into down there and then went to their place for Martinis, which was lovely

I am obviously not one of these people who takes amazing fireworks shots! But here it is. Let's pretend that this is an intentional attempt at surrealism.

Ooooooops! This was pre-Martinis, I swear it was....

Or Independence Day, as it's formally known. One eats and blows things up. (Annotated.)

rezinka Tsk, tsk, tsk, such inconsistency. How could have you missed the brown bottle in the upper right corner in pic 1? We´re all dying to know what is it.

girlnextdoor Yes,a recipe. what is a cherry clafouti end up to actually be/look like? Haven't ever knowingly had one or seen one before, but have heard of it. Firework shot is perfect, even for a fluke of luck;)

Liiisa Well... I took a picture of the finished product but it looked kind of gross, like a hemorrhaged internal organ. But I'll post it, with the recipe.

lmao @ the bottle. That's some B&B... I took it out when Spawn was here, she had a sore throat and I thought it would be nice to spike her tea with some B&B.
