If you have a bit of last-minute shopping (sparklers, glassware, etc.), Pomegranate will be open July 4 until 3pm (later if everyone is still shopping, maaaybe a wee bit earlier if traffic just stops). Or send your out-of-town guests in if you need to get rid of them for awhile. I mean entertain them for awhile! Normally we close up for the Fourth of July, but it's Saturday! It's going to be a beautiful, fun day. Hope to see some of you!
Can't wait for those tuscan baby back ribs (recipe courtesy of Jody Denton - find it here: http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/father-grills-best-fathers-day-cookout-with-chef-jody-denton). If you think you might make these, better get on it now... very easy, but takes some ingredients and time for overnight (or longer) brining. Newport Market has juniper berries and some of the other unusual tidbits needed for this. [Juniper berries unusual in Bend? Well, you can't just strip them off the tree in your front yard.] What else? Heirloom tomato salad, corn on the cob with lime butter, homemade berry ice cream, etc. etc.... oh, and we all get cool confetti and sparklers from the shop (I think we buy them just to make sure we have some for ourselves). We might even get my mom to lead us in The Star Spangled Banner, so if you're nearby and hear a lovely soprano voice ringing out over a bunch of iffy singers, that's us.
Have a wonderful – and safe – 4th of July!

Hi- we are coming up to visit Bend sometime in July -- going to Vasari Plasters, as my husband is an artisan so he wants to hang out and do artisan things. While he is doing that, what does a slightly design obsessed wife do? Where does one stay and eat? Can you do a post on the perfect Bend Design weekend? Thanks!
