It's one week away and i want to be thinking about the eggy goodness and happiness that will be coming off the Big Green Egg all week so i have something cool to look forward to.
We are having a pool party, lots of kids, a few adults and lots of adult beverages. I am considering pizza as the forecast high for phoenix next week is 97 and while we will have some humidity, it'll be in the low 80s at nite and our party will get underway as its getting dark outside. I am in an old citrus grove so nighttime temps in summer tend to be 10 or so degrees lower than everywhere else due to the heat being carried off by irrigation water evaporation.
So 4th of July pizza party seems like a fit for us next week. I am comfortable planning and executing it, making the dough from scratch and of course cooking it for everyone and getting that WOW factor.
Anyone have plans to egg on our nation's birthday?

Due to the extreme heat and humidity we always keep it simple. Usually ribeyes, shrimp and oysters. A quick and easy cook, but still great.
