Macaroni Salad
When I was a child, my mother would prepare cool and chilled meals during the summer and one of my favorites was her "Chicken and Macaroni Salad." She would boil a whole chicken, let it cool, and then strip the meat from the bones. The chicken meat would be placed in a covered bowl and placed in the refrigerator as she prepared the rest of the ingredients for this salad.

New Orleans, Louisiana, is a very unique city. Being a port city, the accent the people speak is not Southern. It's not even Cajun, which is the cliché always heard on TV--and badly, too. The accent is a port city accent, more related to New York or Boston than it is to the Southern drawl of any city below the Mason-Dixon line.

Warm days, soaking up the sunshine. Brilliant clear blue skies with wispy white clouds. Late afternoon thunderstorms that leave rainbows as the storms roll away.
J. Delaney-HowePublished 2 years ago in FeastHow Salad Changed My Life
Controversial opinion: The best summer food is salad. If I met a genie who granted me the opportunity to eat one food for the rest of my life, I'd choose salad. Why? Because ANYTHING can be a salad if you play your cards right. I learned this the hard way, so let me explain:
Andrea StandbyPublished 2 years ago in FeastGoing home again at summertime
Having not seen my birth home for a very long time, I had misgivings and apprehensions about returning home. So much would have changed, people and everyday activities would have changed. Everything that I remembered would have to be reevaluated and reassessed. But the things that cannot change are the traditions of many a generation in the making.
Novel AllenPublished 2 years ago in FeastThink of Summer Days Again
One particular Fourth of July, like every fourth of July, the entire clan was descending on our house. Grandma, a powdered and perfumed version of William Tecumseh Sherman whose pats on the back stung for a good five minutes. Grandpa, who slid into a room like a shadow, settled in a chair and was happiest when everyone forgot he was there, just as long as he had a good view of the yard and the birds and any chipmunks that might venture forth. Dad’s sisters and brother and their families: calm, capable, brilliant Marion; dramatic Phyllis, the rule-breaker; Charlie, the baby, who looked up to his older brother and secretly feared he would never measure up. Great aunts and uncles, cousins and second cousins, some older folks whose connection to the family was so impenetrable that we gave up trying to figure it out and just enjoyed their company. With girlfriends, boyfriends, new partners, visiting students there might be twenty people coming to the house or there might be forty. This family carnival meant that summer was truly here, sticky, sweaty, breath-robbing summer in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

When I first joined my scout troop the scoutmaster showed me how to make a really good meal for camping. After I was shown how to make it, that would be by favorite meal to make, but I would add a few variations to it. He showed me how to make what he called a foil dinner. It was a real simple recipe to make.

Aloha To you all! This summer is something I am so looking forward to! Where I grew on the beautiful islands of hawaii, where summer came to us all year around. Of course you'd have days where it would rain, but living New York and dealing with the diferent climate change I've come to aprieciate summer more.
Venison Stew
So, Vocal just posted a new challenge: Summer Camp - share a recipe for your ideal Midsummer meal. There's one problem with that: I'm in the Southern Hemisphere, and we just got launched face-first into a bitterly cold winter. Seriously, I feel like I just got thrown into an iceberg, and now is a very bad time for electricity, and thus heating, prices to be on the rise. Also, I'm something of a picky eater, and my food tastes don't actually change that much from season to season.
