Almost everyone has an early recollection of how the Fourth of July was
celebrated his or her home town. I remember how my father provided
fireworks for the neighborhood and what my mother prepared for dinner. She
would say: "There should be red, white, and blue food." Usually it would be
salmon, mashed or baked potatoes, and a blueberry cobbler or pie for
dessert. Now, with the popularity of the grill, the following five recipes,
which constitute a family meal, might be appropriate. Thanks, mom, for the
idea.

Making your Fourth of July meal on the grill presents some logistics
problems that would not occur in your inside kitchen. But, as always, the
secret of unchaotic meals is to prepare as much as possible ahead of time.
In this case, you can skewer the shrimp, make its chili mop, and
refrigerate both in the morning. The salad and red salsa for the potatoes
can also be prepared in advance, and the potatoes themselves scrubbed and
parboiled. As for the blueberry pudding, it should be made the day before.

When it's time to start your grill on the Fourth, first prepare the bell
pepper sauce for the salmon and refrigerate it until needed. Next grill the
skewered shrimp appetizers and get everyone started while you put on the
potato wedges. After they're cooking, add the salmon steaks to the grill so
both dishes are done together. Retrieve the sauces from the fridge, serve
up the salad, and let the feast begin.
