Summer Tastes

mmmm - there are some tastes that scream "Summer" in your mouth.

Tomatoes: rich, red, ripe off the vine ~ sliced in salads, on sandwiches; chopped for soups, guacamole, sauces; eaten with the juice running down your chin. Yummy!

Peaches: description almost sounds the same ~ on cereal, over ice cream, in fruit salad, pies, cobbler and again eaten in big bites with the juice running down your chin. Yummy!

Mint: I love fresh mint ~ in tea (hot or iced), with fruit, crushed in cold soups. I make big containers of iced tea and let mint leaves sit in them to infuse their flavor throughout the drink. My mint tea far surpasses any store bought (at least in my opinion). Yummy!

Farmers' Market holds many fresh summer flavors: strawberries, black berries and other juicy fruits; green beans, lettuce, Yukon gold potatoes, squash of all sorts. On and On and all of them delicious. And . . . the taste of summer for me is wrapped around the explosion of the flavors of tomatoes, peaches and mint ~ ah, mint. ~ with blessings
