The Fourth of July has long been a major contender (along with Christmas) for my favorite holiday ever.
Kids have favorite everythings: favorite movies, favorite colors, favorite friends. They also frequently have favorite holidays, at least in my day and age, which are to be celebrated with extra joy and jolly merriment.
Here are some extra-special Fourth of July links. Enjoy with independence in your hearts:
- A “fireworks” video (fireworks of FOOD!) by the animation artist PES, discovered for us by Serious Eats. Serious Eats
- A delicious-looking flag waffle, pictured on The Kitchn in honor of the holiday. The Kitchn
- A different kind of flag cake, with the flag “hidden” on the inside of the cake (so cool!). Serious Eats
- Great summer recipes for your Fourth (or for BBQs all summer). Serious Eats
