We here in NH are enjoying a lovely fourth of July weekend! The best day of the long weekend was definitely the 4th itself in my little hamlet. Not too hot, lots of sun and a great breeze to keep the bugs away.
I had a couple of ears of corn leftover along with some broccoli in the fridge. I also had some chopped up onion leftover from the BBQ. We had hot dogs, burgers, corn on the cob and potato salad for our meal. Last night I burned up some ribeye steaks and wanted to use up a few things. This is a quick side and it was very tasty. I don’t know if I have ever put the two together before but I like. I also had a leftover lime from my pomegranate martini’s so I squeezed that in.
