What foods will you be eating? Are you planning on having dessert? Counting calories? Fireworks? Fast approaching!

I'm not a party animal so I have no party plans.2

I'm going to the NJ state fair. I'm going to eat all the foods and drink all the drinks. :drinker:5

Vacationing for a week. Planning to cycle my butt off while I'm visiting friends so I can eat, drink, and be merry!
My log is going into guesstimate mode for the week, and I'm not going to overly stress about it.0 -
Burgers. Tater tots. Ice cream. That's about it.1

I'm in Australia but hosting my annual "Fat-th of July" party,
The menu is:
Pulled pork
Slow cooked BBQ Brisket
Southern fried chicken
Buffalo wings
Taco dip
Fried mac n cheese
Jalapeno poppers
Mashed potato gravy bombs
S'mores Pie
Deep fried cookie dough
Pumpkin pie
Chocolate peanut butter pretzels
You can see where the event gets its name.8 -

4th of July is usually the first day of the year I have to spend in a bathing suit in front of gobs of people. This year -- for once -- I'm not wound up about it.
A few ideas for a riff on party foods -- buffalo cauliflower, watermelon skewers, veggie burgers, and blueberry chia pudding pops.
It's the drinking that typically gets me, but I've perfected the Perrier with a dash of Titos and lime maneuver!3 -
Work! Bring on that holiday pay!!! Thankfully this year I have one of the coveted fireworks detail positions.
Just hope I don't get any calls of people blowing off fingers/hands from improperly handled fireworks.1 -
No plans. It will be a regular day for me.0

My husband hits the big 5-0 on July 3rd, so we'd better figure out some sort of festivities! He's not big on big parties but we're thinking of joining some friends at a really good Spanish restaurant near the beach.0

If the goal w this party was to mimic American cuisine in all its glory, it's successful2 -

Thank you! That's exactly the goal
I'm actually a US citizen but have lived in Aus all my life, save for a year after Uni, when I lived in Illinois. This event has become my yearly "event" for friends and it's just a big fat stereotype. I trawl State Fair food announcements for inspiration LOL.2 -
Hi, I'm Ashley from MS. I plan on cooking marinated ribs, corn on cob, salad & a coca cola life with watermelon for dessert. I feel like this is a nice mix of indulgence & health conscious which is typically my goal. Hope everyone has a happy & healthy 4th of July! Remember we have goals dammit! Don't use a holiday as an exscuse to fall off the wagon. Remember:Eat breakfast, get some exercise that day, & balance your celebration meal with healthy & indulgent & limit your alcohol. Ciao1

My roommates (twin, aunt, and her hubs) all have off.
We might go to the beach/out to eat [dear lort plz no I can't control myself yet]
But if it falls through, just will sleep!!
4th of July= Hamburgers & hotdogs were the first things that popped in my head..oh how I miss those hamburgies0 -
Running an 8k race.0

Celebrating the 4th and my birthday with a 4 day weekend. Sailing and a baseball game over the weekend so boat drinks and hot dogs! And cake, can't forget the cake. This is one of the holidays I don't really count calories. I kind of keep a running tally in my head but mostly just have a good time.
Going to be a great weekend.2 -
More into finding some great fireworks shows. We will also sit around the firepit and hang out with friends and family.0

Running a 4 mile race in the morning, but I have no plans for the evening. Last year my parent's neighbor set off fireworks. He also happens to be my fiancé's coworker, so we might go there and have a drink with them, but that's it.1
