Summer Menus

My family lived off the land and summer evening meals featured baked stuffed tomatoes, potato salad, corn on the cob, fresh shelled peas and homemade ice cream with strawberries from our garden.  With no air conditioning in those days, the cool porch was the center of our universe after the scorching days. - David Mixner      ​
