Re: 4th of July menu
We're doing Sunday and Monday. Monday is when all the company is coming. We are have chips & dip (salsa, bacon bacon, and guac), sausage and peppers, hot dogs, burgers, and maybe chicken. Cole slaw, potato salad, regular salad. Then of course beer, wine, soda, sangria, and jello shots  . And for dessert cheesecake stuffed strawberries and oreo truffles. I'm not sure what anyone else is bringing so I'm sure we have more to add.

What may I ask is this?
Classic Blueberry Ice Cream Pie
ingredients
Almond-Brown Sugar Crust
1- 1/2 cups slivered almonds
2 Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Blueberry Sauce
3 cups blueberries, rinsed, well drained, and carefully picked over for damaged berries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
A few gratings of nutmeg (about 1/8 tsp.)
1 Tbsp. water
Assemble and Serve
1 qt. homemade or purchased vanilla ice cream
3/4 cup of the Blueberry Sauce, chilled
1/2 cup crème frache or sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed, picked over, and well dried on paper towel-lined baking sheets
Remaining Blueberry Sauce, heated
directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In bowl of food processor fitted with a steel blade combine almonds, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer to bowl and stir in melted butter. Turn into 9-inch pie plate. With fingers press onto bottom and sides to form a firm, even layer.
2. Bake 8 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. “Don’t overbrown or the crust will have an overpowering flavor.” Allow to completely cool on a rack. Transfer to freezer until ready to use (may be made up to a week in advance and frozen, tightly wrapped).
3. In large, wide, nonreactive skillet combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and salt, stirring well with a spoon to distribute the sugar and cornstarch. Add zest, lemon juice, water, and a few gratings of fresh nutmeg; stir again to blend.
4. Cook and stir over medium heat until blueberries begin to pop, give off juice, and come to a full simmer. Simmer, stirring gently for 1 additional minute until sauce is lightly thickened and cornstarch is well cooked.
5. Set aside to cool; refrigerate sauce until completely chilled before proceeding. “Otherwise you’ll wind up with a blueberry milk shake,”
6. Transfer ice cream to a mixing bowl and let stand in the refrigerator 30 minutes or until just softened.
7. Spoon half into prepared crust. Spread in even layer and top with the chilled blueberry sauce. Spoon on remaining ice cream and spread to edges.
8. Cover surface of ice cream with plastic wrap and freeze at least 8 hours or overnight until firmly set.
9. To serve: In chilled mixing bowl, whisk crème frache, heavy cream, and sugar until just thickened to spreading consistency. Do not overbeat. Spread cream mixture over pie; top with blueberries. Serve with heated sauce on the side.
Makes 10 servings.
