July 4th 2013 BBQ and firework in Montauk

    Will and I have a small BBQ on July 4th since all of my roommates are on vocation. We tried a new burger recipe: peanut butter burger. The idea comes from MOS burger~my favorite fast food restaurant in Taiwan. I almost went there almost every morning for breakfast and ordered exactly the same thing, the egg and bacon burger. The best part about the burger is they spread the peanut butter on one side of the bun. So the whole burger is a perfect balance of sweetness( peanut butter), saltiness(bacon) and crunchiness (lettuce). I told Will about my craving for MOS burger and he said he heard about this idea before. He said some more interesting idea about burger like glazed doughnut burger. We decided to try to make our own peanut butter burger. It turns out really delicious:)
    The ingredient we put into the burger includes: burger meat( quarter pound 15% fat and 85% lean ground beef), peanut butter, bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese. We had sweet pickles as a side dishes. Other things on the BBQ list includes: clams, corns, and watermelon.

     After the meal  we decide to see the firework in Montauk. I haven't been to the east end of New York, although it's only 1hr 45 mins away from where I live. Our original plan is to see the light house first and then to go to the umbrella beach seeing the firework. However, when we got there it's already 8 and a lot people were there waiting and car already parked on the lawn since most parking spots were occupied. So we decided find a parking spot first and luckily enough we found a roadside parking spot.  We walked from the east end of the beach to the west end where the firework were launched. We sat right next to the fence. It's the first time I am so close to firework. I were hit debris several times. I like the firework fade into streams and double heart shapes most. 
 I am so happy about what we did in July 4th. After the firework I still have a lot final exam papers need to grade but I feel much better after the short break.
