Summer Is Almost Here - Vegies and picking melons
It's been long enough that I had trouble trying to remember how to log on.
With summer comes all the yummy fruits and vegetables. Cherry tomatoes are so sweet and good. Something I like to do is cube some Mozzarella cheese and halve cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, add basil (fresh is best), and salt and pepper to taste. Let marinade in refrigerator for a few hours to get those flavors mixed.
It's also time to barbecue. Vegetables taste so good cooked on the grill. I like to skewer mushrooms, spray with vegetable spray and sprinkle with garlic salt and cook on the grill. Zucchini is yummy too. cut it lengthwise, spray with vegetable spray, season, and cook on grill. Mmmm. My mouth is watering thinking about it.
A quick way to fix zucchini. Pick small zucchini, they are better. Slice and put into pan. Pour in a can of stewed tomatoes. Simmer until the zucchini is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Eat.
Went to Frei's fruit stand today and bought a cantaloupe and honeydew. When picking a cantaloupe, look for one that does not have green under the veins on the rind. Smell it. It should have a nice sweet smell. Honeydew should be creamy in color. Rub your hand over the rind. It should have a slight sticky feel to it. Do not buy fruit that is soft. It probably is overripe.
