Can we do something to commemorate September 3rd. That's the treaty of Paris, when we had actually won our freedom. I'm surprised people never celebrate it. We should though.
There is a for this now.
I like it. July 4th is all about summer festivities and lighting fireworks to symbolize the cannonfire of an ancient battle, but this Treaty of Paris day would obviously be different. How will we celebrate?
The crazy thing is there is also a holiday gap there. There's nothing competing.
I think interesting deserts are in order. Trifle, apple pie, (is it too early for pumpkin), red white and blue jello with whipped cream. It's great because you can get the start of winter deserts, but still pull off a summer one.
It should be a little bit like thanks giving except the desert course is legitimately bigger than the main course. Like you eat a little bit to say you actually ate something real and then the real party starts. A recommended main dish would be burgers (like 1) because it's your last chance to grill outside, but not required.
It is also the middle of apple season so apple picking is a traditional daytime activity on Sep. 3rd (so I declare). Raspberries are also in season and can be used in your jello. Looking at it the very front of pumpkin harvest just started so the pumpkin pie works. Sweet corn is in harvest too which will go with the burgers.
Do we want to do it together like ochodepoal? I could set up a subverse.
I like the apple angle. Maybe you-pick and starting your yearly batch of homemade cider should be considered trappings of the holiday.
Gonna have to mull it over. I feel like there's a lot you could do with this.
Oh yeah and make a subverse.
What should the holiday be called?
