Food for the Soul. Top Story - June 2022.
There is no single food that entirely encapsulates summer. Such constriction in this season of freedom is unnatural. Summertime is for Mom and Pop’s places; for make-shift melon stands; for pomegranate-stained fingers and popsicle-painted faces. It’s for that blackberry cobbler recipe your great aunt tucked in the back of her bible, all the while, claiming dessert this good has got to be a sin. It’s the closest we get to the good ole days and the furthest we get from the troubles of now.

Summer Treats Are Back
Summertime is here and so are everyone’s favorite summertime foods. There are so many choices, fresh fruits, clam bakes, grilled specialties, mountain pies, fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob, s’mores, but I gravitate to carnival fare. Just walking through the local carnival and fairs you see them, you smell them, kettle corn, snow cones, candy apples, fried dough, food on a stick, and…funnel cakes. To me, there is nothing better.

Not Your Typical Mexican Food
On our walking tour of Oaxaca, we met a fantastic collection of people and we all met up for dinner that evening. Tommy, a brilliantly funny scouser ordered a famous Oaxacan dish, mole with turkey. It arrived at the table and he exclaimed:

Possibilities Are Still Out There
I can’t help but reminisce about childhood whenever I think of summer. As adults we obviously still have summer, except ours are filled with a considerably higher amount of work versus play. Gone are the days when you could just go to the beach all summer long and build sandcastles under the Sun without a care in the world. Adulthood is full of responsibilities whereas childhood is full of possibilities. And for a kid in summer, nothing screams possibilities like an approaching ice cream truck.

Taste of Summer
Summer. Fire rages, fueled by a seemingly endless supply of gas. Within metal housing, the flames heat everything surrounding it. Soon the air is two hundred, three hundred, four hundred degrees. Unable to escape, the molecules speed up, faster and faster they accelerate. After a time, the roof is removed—it doesn’t collapse like in a normal fire, but rather swings away, still visible from below. The metal floor is unbearable—all life on it has extinguished as the fires burn.

You scream... I scream
Sweat dripping, mouth open almost panting you shriek “give it to me” as you reach for the joy in a bowl, the sweet melting cold and creamy ice cream your mom had set down a moment ago and your brother ran up and swiped both bowls. Your brother laughs as he runs away with yours taunting you.

Snow Cone Summer
I had a love/hate relationship with summer as a kid. My mom, however, had no qualms about her feelings. She hated summer vacation. The first couple of days were full of laughter and playing, but by the third day, she would start to hear murmurs of “I’m bored,” and wonder if she could survive another summer vacation. Mom loved us, but she did not like hearing us complain about boredom all summer.

Could Summer dance as elegantly as she does without the flavorful symphony that accompanies her passionate performances? What would her overbearing heat be without the light percussion of a coal-filled grill and smooth melodies of a slightly sweet, homemade potato salad?

The Way of Worldly Watermelon
From the moment the sweet summer staple touched my tongue, I had a favorite food forever. One of the first thoughts that a person pairs with the season of the sun is watermelon. The refreshing splash of juice as you bite into the perfect wedge just can’t be replaced by any other fruit—but it can be enhanced.

Tastes like summer
Summer 2022 is going to be the most healthy as well as adventurous to say the very least. let me explain: As though waking up in a puddle of your own sweat while having a wet dream about the most conversational fruit known to man, yes... you guessed it, Watermelon.
