July Open thread 2026
Summer's still in full swing, and that also brings about our country's birthday and
how we celebrate is a gift to us by reflecting on the historical events that happened throughout our history.
Keep the fun, the laughter and togetherness
Enjoying the homemade cookouts, the laughter and make sure there are enough
citronella candles to keep the flies and insects away.
Add the sweets and cheer wherever you go
Kick back and remember the good days of a pool party
As the light fades in the west, we wait just a little longer. On a warm summer night in the South this was the place. Watch the whole thing, with Elvis "Dixieland" at the end. This is the famous Laser Show. They would shine the colored strobes to trace out the horses on the carvings. We all know things are a bit scary, but hold true, we are moving forward. God bless the USA.
Or some may just want a night to see the fireworks
Don't forget the red white and blue berry trifle treats.
Now an easy way to do this. Get a sponge cake from the store, break it
into pieces, put in the glass like a parfait. Things are in a rush these days and though a homemade treat is always the best,
this will help to make it much easier.

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Sushi Salad
Sushi Salad

This is a fun build-your-own salad. You can add what you love, leave out what you don’t, and use the nori however you like: mixed in, toasted, and broken up, as a base, or sprinkled on top.
It is also a great way to use up leftover salmon, which makes it even easier to pull together. The rice can be prepared ahead of time, and you can even double it and freeze half for the next time you want to enjoy this delicious sushi salad.
Yields 4-6 servings.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 carrots
- 2 large cucumbers sliced
- 2 Tbsp. black sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp. white sesame seeds
- 2 avocados, cubed
- 1 mango, sliced or cubed
- Cooked salmon, shredded or cut into cubes
- 1 sheet nori
Dressing:
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 4 Tbsp. sugar or date syrup
- 4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
Directions:
Prepare the sushi rice according to the package instructions and allow it to cool.
Peel the carrots and use a peeler to make carrot ribbons. Save some of the carrot ribbons to add as garnish.
Place the rice in a large bowl or on a serving platter. Add the carrots, sliced cucumbers, sesame seeds, avocado, mango, and cooked salmon.
Cut the nori into small pieces or toast it lightly and break it up. Add it to the salad or sprinkle it on top right before serving.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, sugar or date syrup, and mayonnaise. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently,or serve it on the side so everyone can add as much as they like.
