6/10/15 The Essence of Summer Eating - DH brought home first orchard peaches of the summer and we sliced over Breyer's French Vanilla Ice Cream. Also, I've had fresh blueberries and strawberries this same week. What is the essence of summer food for you?

I love all fresh fruit. Peaches are my fave since I grew up in the peach state of Ga. and we had peach trees. Love watermelons and cantalopes also. Nothing tastes better than 1\2 cold cantalope filled with some home churned vanilla ice cream. Yum,yum/Lillian

Did you ever salt your cantaloupe?
by katydid 11 Jun 2015
Yes , I used to , but no longer salt anything except with very little. I use Mrs dash for the added kick.
by lbrow 11 Jun 2015
Yep do that also along with the watermelon.

Over here in Australia it's when the Mangoes and stone fruit come in. I absolutely love Strawberries and have them every day of my life due to my wonderful husband always buying them for me!

Of course it's Winter here for us at the moment whilst you are enjoying your Summer. I hope it stays for a long time for you Northerners!!!! Love Chris

Fresh tomatoes!! I picked my first one this morning. Started to take a picture of it. Yum! I could eat them three times a day!! Peaches with juice dripping down my arm come in a very close second - or maybe a tie!!
