Wedges of perfect ripe tomatoes tossed with freshly bruised & torn
basil leaves.

Also ... chopped perfect ripe tomatoes tossed with freshly bruised &
torn basil leaves - left to meld for a hour or so - and used as a
fresh salsa on cooked pasta. Beautiful!

I had a girlfriend named Candy once. 2nd grade. Pettiest little blonde
girl in class! And SMART too!

She's a pHD in biochemistry now and working as a professor at a
university.

Pettiest or prettiest? I tend to think nice things about the ladies of
my past, so I assume your typing skills are on par with mine :-)

Right on target Tracy... I have 6 perfect corn specimens on my kitchen
counter, just waiting for the butter love. And love them dearly I will :-)

P.S. I have a strawberry farm 2 miles from my house that opened for
picking today. If I only had a sweetie of my own right now, I'd be in
heaven.

There are few places near me for pick your own strawberries, but it has
been raining non stop for about a month - or at least it seems so. They
won't let you pick when the vines are wet.....I wonder what it will do
to the prices. The last time I called u-pick strawberries were 5 dollars
a quart.

Hey! I had a boy friend (not a boyfriend) in the sixth grade who was
soooooooooooo smart. He moved away in 7th grade and I didn't see him
again till he showed up on the Discovery Channel. He's a physicist
working for NASA at the Jet Propulsion Lab. He was still cute.

Would "Saskatoon Pie" be made with what we (ND) called "Juneberries"?
Other folks called them serviceberries or saskatoon berries. Like
tiny deep purple blueberries only sweeter and spicier. Great in a
pie . . . but better in a grubby little fist right off the bush in the
hot summer sun.

Lynn - From your description, I would even take them from your grubby
little hand and eat them :-) I might cough gently to take your
attention away and rinse them off from my canteen, but I'd eat them :-)

Perhaps also known as "wild blueberries". I detest the oversized watery
blueberries with a slight grittiness, that are found in almost every store.
These tiny berries are far superior. There is at least one source that
produces them bagged and frozen, which I use for pies.

Good tomatoes with fresh basil, olive oil, and salt, and a nice crusty
bread (preferably olive bread) to dip in it. My mother and I do this
every summer, and it's remarkable.

Sweet cherries.

White peaches.

White corn, raw from the cob.

Isn't it great when a "childhood" friend makes good?

My biggest remembrance is the girl geek who ended up as a full
professor at Stanford. The fact she was a Stanford professor was
secondary because she had bloomed into someone who was gorgeous and
sophisticated! I was completely happy for her because I thought she
was a beautiful person in high school (inside) so I was glad her inner
beauty finally come out. She seemed to be very happy at the time.

New Jersey "Fresh" tomatoes. Eaten like apples. The best.
Sugar corn, raw, in the field, laying down in the dirt, staring up at the
sky, dripping in corn milk, briefly.
Rita's Italian water ice (lemon (Alex's Lemonade), mango, raspberry, root
beer, strawberry, watermelon).
Fresh pressed murky dark ice cold apple cider.

Around here the cider heralds the start of Autumn.
This just got me thinking that we drive over to Illinois because
there's no way to get from the train station to the orchard. That's
silly. If the orchard put in a shuttle in Sept. and Oct, it'd save
lots of gasoline. I'm going to email them.

That would be a double good idea, brining customers to the orchard and
getting harvest out on freight cars (if allowed on the rails).

I am glad that I made my strawberry jam last week when the weather was
nice. The berries were small, dark and sweet and made wonderful jam. It
has rained almost every day since, and it supposed to rain all week. The
local sweet cherries probably won't be very good. The cherries burst
when they have too much rain.

I blame myself. I was bound and determined to pick strawberries this
year ... and the skies opened up and it rained for a month. Like
27 days out of 30. I haven't seen any ads for strawberry picking.

The weather has been downright awful. I haven't had any corn yet this
year. I am not a fan of the really sweet white corn. I prefer yellow
corn. I don't think it exists anymore. I haven't seen it in forever.

Sniff. My daughter really loves cherries.

I seem to recall that the overwatered berries taste relatively,
er, watery?

Oh, you too? The rain is rather tedious. I have not been tempted
to go out picking berries. I did see folks doing that ONE day.

I think that's one of the things we'll have to start trying to
grow ourselves. Or we need to look for farms that sell "heirloom"
corn.

Yep. They are nice and plum but flavourless. One year I was late making
my jam and went to a pick your own farm to get the berries. It was hot
and humid and the ground was wet from several days of rain, but it
didn't take long to fill four baskets because the berries were so big,
and few to have to hull. The jam was quite bland because the swollen
berries had almost no flavour.

Agree with all of these, and the idea of corn on the cob. My brother-
in-law cooks corn with a little butter, salt and pepper, wrapped in
foil over hot coals. Wonderful.

I was just looking over the farm's pick your own schedule and they mention
"Fall" strawberries (new for 2009). Harvest from mid August to mid October.
First I've heard of them.

I'll be out standing in my field on July 25th up to my ears in corn! :9 The
annual corn festival, one day only. I hope they have a good harvest.

My local corner corn stand didn't plant this year but they're still trucking
it there for sale. They only planted maybe 100 stalks so it was just for
show. It was great seeing a cornfield on a city street corner! Oh well.

Not freight train. Our light rail train. It's a little more than two
miles from the station to the orchard. Driving from my house is 55
miles round trip (according to GoogleMaps).
