July 13

Have you ever noticed how good everything taste in the summer? Maybe it’s just me but I love fresh vegetables and fruit in the summer. It has to be fresh from the garden, not mine because I don’t put one out. I am so thankful to those that do; I get to enjoy the benefit of their harvest. So crisp, when you bit into them they snap, unlike the cucumbers from the grocery store, almost mushy. Yellow and green zucchini cooked in a little olive oil and topped off with butter and salt at the end. Fresh sliced tomato, throw a little bacon, bread, and mayo in for a wonderful summer sand which. The juice dripping off elbows, and so full of flavor you can taste the fuzz of the peach. I think peaches are my favorite fruit this time of year. Grilled corn on the cob, oozing with butter around the kernels. I can’t forget green beans, snapped and cooked with some bacon. Everything is so fresh and full of flavor. It is probably a good thing that summer growing season doesn’t last year round. Thinking about all of this food has me starving.
