She is like the merchant's ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household..."

4TH OF JULY PICNIC MENU AND RECIPES(and other summer holidays, too )
Variety Sausages, hot dogs and/or hamburgers
 GEORGIA'S BAKED BEANS
4 - 16 oz. can pork and beans In a medium frying pan, sauté the chopped onion and green pepper in the bacon grease until limp. In a large bowl, mix the pork and beans, onions, green pepper, chopped up bacon, cooked ground chuck, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 Tablespoons brown mustard, and about 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix well until completely blended. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about one hour uncovered. Turn oven down to 300 degrees, cover and bake for another hour at least. Shut off oven and allow to sit an additional hour covered to get the full flavor of all the ingredients.
 GEORGIA'S POTATO SALAD
5# potatoes, boiled, skinned, and cubed Cook the potatoes and after they are cool (or easy enough to handle by hand), peel the skins and cube and place into a large bowl. Add the cut up hard boiled eggs at this time. Sprinkle approximately 4 oz. of Italian dressing and a large squirt of yellow mustard on the potatoes. Shake and mix and let sit for at least a half hour (enough time to cut up veggies). In the meanwhile, chop all the vegetables (not too fine) and mix very carefully with a heavy duty spoon (preferably wooden). Start with about two cups of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon garlic salt, and 1 heaping teaspoon of black pepper. Again mix very carefully, but thoroughly. You want to be sure to mix all the flavors, but not to mash up or break up the potatoes. At this time, taste the mixture and see if the flavors have mixed and if there is enough salt and mayonnaise. If not, add more a little at a time until the flavor and consistency match. Cover and set in the refrigerator to chill at least two hours. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. Again this will make everyone come back for seconds. I guarantee it!!!
 TUNA/CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
1 pound cooked, cooled pasta---any kind Pour Italian dressing over cooked pasta, toss and set aside. After 15 minutes, add black pepper, garlic salt and yellow mustard and toss again to mix flavors. Put in refrigerator, covered, and allow 30 minutes to marinate. At that time, add the chopped eggs, vegetables, and tuna or chicken. Start with at least 1 cup of mayonnaise and toss well. Mixture should be a creamy consistency. Add more mayo and salt to taste, a little at a time. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
 FOIL-GRILLED POTATOES
(4 servings....adjust to as many as you need) Tear enough aluminum foil to hold your potatoes and onions. Thinly slice each potato (with skin on and cleaned, of course), onto the foil.. slice enough onion to lightly cover the potato... Add garlic salt and pepper to taste.. and spray margarine generously.. Close and seal each pouch so there a little room for the steam and flavors to mix. Place the potatoes preferably on the top rack while the chicken or other meats are cooking. You may want to place them directly onto the main rack after the meat is done and keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Total cooking time shouldn't be over 45 minutes.
 MALLOW FRUIT SALAD
2 cans (11 ounces) mandarin orange segments, drained Toss orange segments, pineapple, cherries, marshmallows and walnuts.....Fold cool whip into the fruit and cover and refrigerate at least one hour...Dreamy and creamy...(Serves 10)
