Mmmm, I bought some sweet cherries and had a slice of watermelon this weekend. So good! Can't wait for them to go on sale.
Also, I love corn on the cobb.
-
All the fresh produce, especially sweet yellow cherries and all the delicious berries.
-
@pinkcupcake: yellow cherries? Mmm... Never had them before.
Are they similar to the Rainier cherries?
-
Watermelon and ice cream. Well I love ice cream all year long but I love getting a cone in the summer.
-
All the produce! Watermelon, berries, veggie mixes, cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden...yummo!
-
Fruit! I love summer fruit.
Corn on the cob, too. And steamed crabs!
-
mulberries, white peaches, gazpacho, and sangria!
-
@Mrs. Bee: Never had mulberries before. We have marionberry and huckleberries out here.
Oh, white peaches! My favorite! Forgot about peaches and nectarines.
-
@bluestriped bee: they're soooo sweet and good. i've never seen them for sale. only picked them wild!
-
White sangria, corn on the cob, blackberries, homegrown tomatoes, watermelon, basically all summer produce!
-
Corn on the cob, pretty much anything bbq'd, sangria,
-
Fresh strawberries and corn on the cob!
-
@bluestriped bee: yes, rainier cherries! I'm not sure if they are a WA state thing? I can't wait for Costco to start selling them
-
@pinkcupcake: Oh, they sell them at Costco? I need to look out for them.
I don't think I've seen those type of cherries until I moved out here.
-
Summer fruits for sure! I also love making my own suntea infused with lemons and strawberries!
-
Peaches and berries!
-
@bluestriped bee: yep, Costco typically starts carrying them around June I think. Best part of summer (IMO)
-
All the yummy fruit!!
-
I was just wondering when cherries will be available again. Watermelon and mangoes are my other faves. I also love mangosteens and longan but they aren't widely available here.
-
Anything grilled (corn, burgers, kabobs). Fresh veggies. Fruits.
-
watermelon!
-
Any summer fruit, ice cream, iced coffee and iced tea (I'm really only a fan if it's hot out).
-
@BoogieBea: We traveled down to Oregon this weekend and saw a someone was selling cherries. The cherries were so sweet! Now I want more cherries!
-
@2PeasinaPod: oooh do share!
-
White nectarines! They taste like candy. ETA: oh and water ice!! @2peasinapod will know what I mean
-
Corn on the cob, watermelon, fresh local fruit, sun tea!!!!
-
Fresh tomatoes, corn, berries and peaches. Also sweet iced tea and snow cones!
-
@rattles: mmmm heirloom tomatoes
-
@Tidybee: Holla Rita's!
The suntea is super easy. We choose a berry flavored tea like Lemon Berry Zinger or Lipton makes a strawberry tea. I fill a 3Q water pitcher with water, stick 10 tea bags in, slice up a lemon and a bunch of strawberries and throw them in. Stick it in the sun for a few hours, take the teabags out and serve over ice with some fruit in or not
-
@2PeasinaPod: That sounds delicious! Gotta try that soon.
-
@bluestriped bee: Forgot to add that you can sweeten it to your liking. I find that the strawberries sweeten it enough for me.
-
Every darn thing mentioned in this thread, especially fruit!!
I'm also a fan of the beer cocktail trend, especially a Michelada and a beer mojito.
-
rainier cherries, peaches, tomatoes, sun tea, cucumbers, watermelon, margaritas......mmmm
-
Freshly picked strawberries, watermelon, and corn on the cob!
-
Fresh fruits and vegetables, corn on the cob, and anything grilled.
-
Home-grown tomatoes (caprese salads!), pluots, peaches, cherries, watermelon, popsicles, and homemade iced lattes on the patio! Also love anything on the BBQ (especially pizza). Ooh and a cold beer or Moscow Mule -- can't wait til I can drink again!
-
I agree with the Rainier cherries. The absolute best there is and we spend a ridiculous amount of $ on them in the summer!
-
fresh cherries and watermelon!
Grilled burgers and grilled veggies. SO GOOD.
-
Watermelon and white peaches! Cant wait for them to start being in season, we buy them at Costco.
-
@NorCalWayfarer: love having caprese sandwiches throughout the summer!
@sunny: just bought some rainier cherries today - $10 for a larger basket but so good! I also got some red ones and they were super sweet and yummy too!
I just love being able to eat fresh fruit all summer. And I definitely have to agree that summer corn on the cob can't be beat. And I just love eating cold and refreshing food...like fruit salad, pasta salad, and salsas. And eating outside is so fun after being cooped up all winter.
@Mrs. Pen: grilled veggies are soooo good! After roasting and sautéing everything over the winter I love just putting some veggies on the grill with olive oil and salt/pepper...so simple and so good!
