"Is Tequila patriotic enough? "

Good enough!  I might crack open one of the bottles of Scotch whisky from the collection.  Is that any less patriotic?  Probably, but who gives a rat's ass.  Few things better on a warm summer day than a good marguerita.  Maybe a Cerveza Bohemia.

The grilled ahi sounds good, but I guess I'm one of the few people who doesn't care for salmon.  Probably going to be bratwurst for me.  My ethnic roots (Bohemian) have instilled a love of sausages in me.  Now, if I had a nice walleye fillet...  that would be good, too.

"I've found this to be an excellent recipe for doing them on the grill."

That's an excellent recipe.  Baked potatoes for me are more of a vehicle for eating sour cream.  I put sour cream on and eat the insides first.  Then I put on more sour cream and slice up the skins.  To me, that's the best part of a baked potato.

Here's another one for you if you haven't made up your mind yet.

Several redskin potatoes quartered with the skins on
1 large sweet onion, coarsely chopped
a couple of sliced bratwurst
salt and pepper to taste

Toss all in a little olive oil, wrap in a packet of aluminum foil, and put on a hot grill for about 1/2hr.

It's also a great "tailgate" meal.
