Page 15 summer 2014 Recipes by Chef Matt Carter Tips by Lisa Weisenburger Photo Credit: Michael Baxter • For your next summertime BBQ , gather all of your red, white, and blue even if it doesn’t scream Memorial Day or Fourth of July: red solid napkins you have in your Christmas pile; white vases from Easter; blue glasses from your spring or summer dish sets. • Rustic or vintage accents make people feel comfortable and at home. They bring warmth to any occasion. Mason jars, and paper straws; old repurposed herb crates; cones of old-fashioned candy to name a few. • Plan something into the décor that’s just a smidge interactive: peanuts to shell on the tables; cranking the homemade ice cream maker; paper placemats that can later be folded into entries for the paper airplane contest. • Use non-traditional vessels for centerpieces: cowboy boots with a glass inside full of water and sunflowers; fi ll your birdcages with jelly jars of red white and blue flowers; use tin pails as ice buckets and fi ll with strawberry or blue raspberry drinks in old fashioned bottles.
