Flags. Fireworks. Food. That pretty much “spells” Fourth of July. These days U.S. flags come in all shapes and sizes. Pleated buntings draped from porches and windows, flags on sticks and attached to poles, lapel-size pins and decorated ball caps and everything in between. We know the flag’s 50 stars represent our country’s 50 states and the 13 stripes stand for the 13 original colonies, but what about the colors? According to the The United States Flag Store the colors of the American flag “stand for popular morals and values in the United States. They go as follows: with red for hardiness and valor, white for innocence and purity, and blue field for vigilance, justice, and perseverance.” Fireworks are also a holiday staple, but today in many states, including Ohio, residents can legally discharge consumer-grade fireworks on certain days and times. For the Fourth, fireworks can be discharged on July 3, 4 and 5 and the weekends before and after, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. However, make sure your city has not opted out of the law and banned fireworks before you purchase and discharge. (FYI, in Northeast Ohio, Cleveland, Lakewood and Oberlin are just a few of many cities that have banned fireworks.) Good news, though, many communities such as the three listed above celebrate the holiday with free firework shows. Patriotic-looking dishes can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. For a quick dish, mix strawberries and blueberries in a dish and top with whipped cream, or if you have more time make a sheet cake and decorate with 50 blueberries and 13 rows of raspberries. Or forgo colors, and go for a traditional cookout – burgers and hot dogs, corn on the cob, potato chips or salad, watermelon, cupcakes and popsicles. Speaking of tradition, Kendal residents have long celebrated the holiday with a parade around Heiser Circle, followed by a patriotic program with readings and music moderated by resident Robert Taylor and an ice cream social. This year’s parade will include Kendal Early Learning Center children and their families, League of Women voters and supporters, LGBTQ+ & Allies members and residents with Peace Corps experience, and of course, the Lawn Chair Drill Team. https://hubs.ly/Q02F2Bwc0

Hello! The third project in this food series is Porridge made from Grain that was just Lying Around (Uh, you'll get it if you see the anime, I promise). A real challenge for a person like me who does NOT like porridge. It was quite a lot of fun to do though! #blender #3dartist #blender3d #blendercommunity #3dart #3ddesign #3dvisualization

One of the companies I've been filming for the past 2 yrs is CREME. It is a free platform for cooking at home and connecting with chefs and restuarants. I was curious how many of the 1800+ recipes published (with more being added everyday), how many of those were ones that I'd shot.  The answer: It is a whopping 230 recipes shot with over 40 chefs across Europe and Scandinavia! This link will take you to my profile to learn more. https://lnkd.in/d-BtnVJc
