Happy 4th!

Summer is here, along with its sticky humid temperatures and punctual afternoon thunderstorms- just wet enough to make things even more steamy.  The humid days make playing outdoors a bit more uncomfortable, increasing the need for hydration.  Right on cue, Runner's World put out a recipe for Tomato Watermelon Salad (here's the link to the recipe: http://www.runnersworld.com/recipes/refreshing-tomato-watermelon-salad).  This completely refreshing treat is part salad part liquid replenishment because the tomatoes and watermelon chunks are so juicy and delicious.  Fresh mint adds to the overall refreshment you get from eating it.  As the article notes, "keep this recipe on hand, and you'll never be the lame barbecue guest who comes bearing a bag of chips again."  Advice taken!  As I head to my favorite Annual Family 4th of July Backyard BBQ and Beer Tasting (would it really be a barbecue if there wasn't a beer tasting?!), I am excited to share this new creation with my friends.  Now it's time to enjoy the company of friends, chow down, taste some beer and watch the fireworks.
