Tacos are a great meal have during the hottest part of the summer (that&#8217;s when it&#8217;s hottest here in our part of Colorado), because they involve grilling outside.  Also, ice-filed margaritas are also great during the hottest part of the summer.  And so began our tradition of having a Mexican feast on the 4th of July, which we&#8217;ve taken to calling Cuatro de Julio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year with the coronavirus, we decided to take the risk and combine our pods for the weekend.  This year it rained, which is always a good sign, since it makes it much cooler and decreases the risk of having to evacuate because of an approaching wildfire (a very real threat two years ago).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berck made American style pizza on Friday night, and I made peach-cot cobbler.  On Saturday he made steak and pork belly tacos with black beans, Spanish rice, and homemade salsas, and I made 7-layer dip and flan.  And on Sunday we had waffles for breakfast and Chinese dumplings for lunch. Of course, there were many pitchers of margaritas over the three-day weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the food was all very delicious, the best thing about the weekend was spending it with people we like who are not ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_20200703_225112-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_20200703_225112-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nachzen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_20200703_225112-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/nachzen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_20200703_225112-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nachzen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_20200703_225112-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nachzen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_20200703_225112.jpg 1731w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Good times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the 3rd year in a row, Andrew and Kayleigh joined us for 4th of July weekend.
