Berries and Fresh Peas
I leave my mother's home by bike. My pace is calm and leisurely, there's no need to hurry when I'm on vacation like this. The South American metropolis where I live always makes me compete, gets my heart rate up with its frantic movement. But not today, because I'm at home in Lahti, in southern Finland.

Summer All Year Long. Runner-Up in Summer Camp Challenge.
Summer is food. Trying to sum it up in one food seems impossible. It makes it doubly hard because I spend my summers putting my fresh local vegetables and fruits in jars so I have them for the winter. Depending on the year, we can put up between 400-800 jars. We try to have a good supply of around 1,000 jars by the end of summer between one house and the other.

Refreshing Summer Food
To me summer food was anything we could eat around the pool. Anything cool and refreshing. For us that meant Pasta Salad and Three Bean Salad. I know that sounds like a crazy combination. It is really good though. We usually used the box Pasta Salad and canned Three Bean Salad. It was great to just have something you can do quickly and eat beside the pool in the shade and just relax.

Reba's Guacamole
Shortly after I got married, I started helping my mother-in-law in the kitchen when we had large family gatherings. I watched her make pico de gallo, albondigas, tamales, and guacamole. For as long as I can remember, I have loved Mexican food and to be taught how to make these foods was really exciting for me.

Mum's Pesto
All I could remember was drought. The need for more rain was a constant of my childhood memories, and it became known as Australia's Millennium drought. Yet, Mum’s garden was never a reminder of that. The lawn might have been a little yellow, but the century old lemon tree always had fruit, it never mattered what time of year. Lemons made good ammunition in battles. And in summer, there were bees, and sunflowers, and the parsley patch was the perfect hideout from irritating siblings, the glistening lady-bugs and our tortoiseshell cat far better company. I would crawl into the sun filtered light of the shelter, thanks to the bath water that was siphoned into the yard with the hose every evening. Most of my pants had patches in the knees, due to many muddy escapades.
