COZY in July

Last night all the neighbors were having picnics with sparklers and fireworks and blow up swimming pools and basketball hoops and crazed puppies. The neighborhood was like a campground. It was adorable. We were inside with the windows closed and the AC going because we had marched in a 3 mile parade and we just wanted COZY for Lily and Bob and Jeff and Bill and me. I served tricolor pasta salad and garbanzo beans and greens and we had smoked ribs in the freezer that were given to us that we heated up.
