Have a great day, Stephen. Even though I am not an American and not even living in the states I am going to have some grilled burgers tonight, enjoy some marshmallows and sip some californian wine...

@Mirko Herzner: A man with a plan! Enjoy your celebration tonight.

@B. Thomas: Hey B - glad your pulling for the hometown Rangers as The Giants grilled The Astros last night. My office is about 3 blocks north of AT&T Park and I was rocked by fireworks last night after the game. Looking forward to tonight. Have a 'safe-n-sane'... (...ish) fourth.

Lesley from Lincoln, United States

There's no other way to eat a hot dog, in my opinion! We had some (along with burgers) last night. Same on the menu tonight, along with some slow cooked ribs.

Have a safe day!
