Independence Day Barbecue Bash - Brooklyn, New York

The Rainbow arcing the skyline of my block predicted good tidings for the Independence Day Barbecue festivities I was about to attend and the Rainbow was right.

Laura & Stanley prepared some good old fashioned American Eats for the evening.

For instance Baked Beans with Bacon. I behaved myself and did not eat ALL of the Bacon, must leave some for "the others".

The Classic Bacon Cheeseburger.

The Cheddar Cheese was on the bottom of the Burger.

A Burger Bar was on offer much to everyones delight.

Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle Slices, Fresh Jalapeño Slices, Home Made Picco De Gallo, Pickled Red Pepper, Bermuda Onion and BACON.

and of course Condiments.

Caroline supplied some Delicious Bakery Cookies as well.

At Lauras request I brought some Pocky for the daughters.

POCKY PARTY !!!

And a splendid time was had by all until I was called into work at 2 a.m. but how else would one afford POCKY without work.

FOOD DAY lV 2017

Twas' another marvelous Food Day.

My Bro' Frank and his clan travelled into town to procure some Brooklyn Eats and this is always a joyous occasion with much merriment, conversation and Well,... FOOD

I have only had Spumoni from THE PLACE several times in my life as I do not have a sweet tooth so I can count my Spumoni experiences from The L & B Spumoni Gardens on two hands.

Spumoni Garden - The half tray of Sicilian Squares are unveiled.

Malkito ate 11 of the 12 Slices but we all shared the other one.

Next Stop - Silver Star of which a lifetime of Chinese American Food heritage has been built on.

This is my dish of Chicken with Peanuts flanked by Pork Fried Rice as I continue my journey into the unknown trying dishes I have previously not from their Illustrious Menu.

La Famiglia - (L to R) Malkito, Adrianna, Frank, Maria and my Beautiful God Daughter Amelia.

Taken under the Classic Silver Star Arch.

Malkito still found room for some Chicken Fried Rice after his Eleven Sicilian Slices at L & B Spumoni Garden.

I am kidding around, he may have had the majority,... O.K. 10 Slices.

18th Avenue Bakery, Franks stopover for 7 Layer Cookies and Cream Puffs.

LIONI'S for take home Foods.
