RECIPES FOR SUCCESS AT 4TH OF JULY COOK OUTS. (WE'RE TALKING FOOD AND APPAREL!)

It's a Southern Thang!  Southern Living's recent article, "Food You'll Only Find at 4th of July BBQ in the South," calls July 4 the "super bowl of summer holidays" for Southern households -- partly because the essence of Southern hospitality has always been gathering and celebrating around food and fashion.  The article talks about how choices such as fried green tomatoes, mac & cheese, and banana pudding are staples at many Southern Independence Day celebrations.  There's some really great recipes in the online article, in case you're in need of something to make or take to that BBQ or get-together!
