Status: offline 		I always think of BLT sandwhiches and watermellon as "summertime food."
When I was a kid they didn't really have lettuce and tomatoes in the winter in Boston.
Here in S. Carolina they sell giant watermellons out of the back of trucks on the roadsides and in store parking lots for five bucks! They should be doing that in a few weeks and we should be having fresh peaches any day now.
What foods do you associate with "summertime?"

Status: offline 		Chunky Gazpacho...I make my own without a recipe.  It starts with 6-8 fresh tomatoes as a base that I puree in the food processor then it goes wild.  I like it spicy so that means a healthy dose of tobasco or hot sauce.

Grilled peaches and fresh goat cheese.

Burrata with honey from a local beekeeper

Tomatoes and basil from my garden with some fantastic green/peppery organic olive oil

Garlic scape pesto

OMG is right. Stuffed fried squash blossoms too, with goat cheese and a chunky heirloom tomato salsa with them. Damn I want some now. Pretty much everything on your list is on mine. Good taste.. The only thing I would add is lobster, steamed or grilled, and steamers with butter. Lots of homemade sangria too.

There are reasons I don't live in So. Cal.

giant watermelons, in summertime, are a buck or so at roadside stands, here. For five bucks, in the grocery, you can get the smaller, super sweet, unbelievably fucking good, 'personal watermelon' the size of a basketball. My mom brought one home for dinner tonight - the whole of dinner. Yum.

Already got in green onions for the table. Cant wait for real tomatoes to come from the garden.
