  1. Two things. Ice cream as it trickles down the cone as you leave the shop. You madly try to lick it into a dome in the summer heat only partially succeeding leaving your fingers sticky and warm. And secondly, the slurp of fresh red watermelon cut into quarter slices , the sound and laughter of children spitting the seeds into the air knowing they are allowed to do the forbidden.

  2. My favorite summer food is homemade ice cream! Yum , yum a delicious ttadition
    My grandparents started making it on the fljrth of July. Then my parents and now my husband and I

  3. Fresh fruit and my brothers watermelons always cut in to something creative. My sons pig roast in August is the best with pig and lots of people bringing all kinds of salads and desserts. You have to watch what you eat for a week to make up for it.

  4. One of my favorite summertime meals is orzo with roasted vegetables, garlic,onions and fresh herbs. I sometimes add diced turkey ,chicken or both.

  6. My favorite summer foods are fresh pasta salad with crunchy veggies and sweet corn from the midwest slathered in melted butter and sprinkled with salt! DELICIOUS!

  13. Shave ice as we call it in Hawaii; snow cones elsewhere. Whatever it’s called, crushed or shaved ice piled in a paper cup or cone drenched in a delicious sweet syrup like lilikoi(passion fruit) or strawberry is definitely a summer treat. In Hawaii, it’s an everyday, every month treat!
