Day - so get in the spirit of the season!

In a glass jar, combine the orange and lime juices, sugar,

Greetings
from Food Fare...
Welcome to Food Fare and the fifth
edition of our newsletter, Food Fare Notes.
Summer is almost upon
us, which for Americans translates into a lot of time being spent outdoors with
family activities, picnics and barbeques. Food plays an important role in the
summer fun, whether gatherings are held al fresco or in the cool confines
of home.
I prefer the cool
confines of home, thank you, but I also enjoy the seasonal foods to be
had such as
Baked Artichokes,
Broccoli Slaw,
Cauliflower Salad,
Coleslaw,
Double Mushroom Burgers,
Grilled Asparagus,
Homemade Frankfurters,
Old Bay Crab Cakes,
Pepper & Egg Sandwiches,
Scallops & Vegetables,
Shrimp Salad,
and
Spring Greens Soup.
Other favorites
include fresh corn-on-the-cob, watermelon, radishes and sour green apples with
plenty of salt, pasta salads, tomatoes off the vine, avocados in any form and
fresh greens from the garden.
Are you hungry yet?
Thanks for stopping by Food Fare,
and have a safe and happy summer season....
