I'd still like to test the dips, especially the french onion one with celery sticks.
Never did get to do any puffing and passing yesterday (which sounded like the best way to bury this last work week), but did relax for a few hours and had couple of drinks on the block.
Our fireworks were the lamest -- none of them actually required "fire". Just pull the string and get a little pop and a couple of pieces of string. We used to be able to get our hands on some really cool (and probably dangerous) ones when I was a kid, but the big "Fun, Fun, Fun" party box was all I could find on Thursday. We did get to watch some real ones later from the wharf though and those were pretty amazing.
