Fourth of July Burger

Portabello mushroom burger with all the
fixings: grilled red onion, tomato, Irish
 cheddar and dijon mustard.

We had a great cook-out on Fourth of July. Larry barbecued corn and burgers — mine was a portabello mushroom — and we ate potato salad and black beans too.

Then we headed inside to eat dessert (shortcakes with nectarines and homegrown blueberries warmed on the grill) away from the smoke of the ceaseless fireworks. Why 2017 Fourth of July has to feel like a battleground is a little lost on this Canadian, but I really enjoyed the food.
