I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream
Ooey, gooey, icky, sticky, dripping decadence - we're all in it together for summer kind of goodness. Above all else, the go-to summer food has got to be ice cream. Keep your bar-b-cues, your cotton candy, and your range of salads, the all-time comfort food is ICE CREAM.

The Frozen Flavors of Summer
Hooray! There’s a new Vocal writing challenge. It’s about summer foods? Okay, I can do that. Oh, but it looks like the contest is in tandem with Camp Mac N’ Cheese. In fact, all entrants receive free boxes of Camp’s healthier take on the popular and nostalgic concoction.

Some More, Please!. Top Story - June 2022.
Summer means a lot to me: swarms of bug attacks if I'm outside for longer than three seconds; sweaty as soon as I step foot outside; longer days; more reading light; open windows (until it's time for the aircon to come on); froggy pool/sprinkler time with my son; burning like a lobster if I forget the sunscreen; brushing my dog every other day and filling grocery bags with hair; and, s'mores.

Chips & Dip
"Food tastes better when you eat it with your family." I'm not really one to be posting recipes on Vocal. But, I really do love me some chips and dip. It has always been one of my favourite snacks. I know this is meant to be a post about summer, but every fond memory of summer that I have, includes dip being a part of it. Mmm, dip!

Grill Girl
Summer has always brought a mix of thoughts and emotions to my head, good and bad. Childhood summers are the best, of course, long days of sun, swimming, popsicles, and play. Then, we grow up, and summer becomes a different matter. Yes, there are good things like the beach, movies, fireworks, picnics, etc. When you are an adult though, one is also faced with the responsibility of paying, cleaning up, and sitting in traffic for hours on end once all these grand events of the season are over. It’s easy to feel burnt out after the stress of organizing these events and making sure they are a success. Despite all this, there is one thing I have found enjoyment in as an adult in the summer, grilling, specifically, grilled chicken.

Dirt-and-Worms
The Digital Execution team is the frat house of the Marketing department. On my side of the floor, us perfectly respectable executives and 30-something hustlers greet each other politely, then put on our noise-cancelling headphones, thank you very much.

Ooey Gooey
Summer tastes like graham crackers that spray you with crumbs when broken, like marshmallows from a freshly torn bag, like sneaking a chunk of chocolate before the real fun begins. S'Mores aren't complete, however, without their entourage; The log benches, the fire pit, and lightning bugs, all beneath the summer stars. This is the place and time where their magic takes effect and memories are forged just as S'Mores are forged in fire. Therefore, let us this night revel in decadent interlude by firelight.

My favorite summer food
If I had to choose one , what would it be ? Would it be a impossible burger, or maybe a beyond there are so many choices now that it’s amazing really . There is gardein they have whole roasts and fish fillets. The world of veganism is really taking storm. Then you have to think am I choosing for taste or for health ? Then to decide if you want something cold or hot . I’d say the thing I’m wanting to try most is a vegan pastie with beyond meat at universal . But can I call it my favorite if I haven’t tried it yet?

Science may have discovered the ideal human diet.
Americans are famous for their bad eating habits. For over half a century, the so-called Western diet—one that loves meat, despises fat, and can't get enough of processed food—has dominated menus and mealtimes, becoming synonymous with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. It's difficult to imagine a more destructive attitude to eating than the one taken by many individuals in the United States.

After the rhubarb, asparagus, and salad greens of late spring, summer begins in earnest in the garden. Next in line after that trio, there are the strawberries of early summer.

Funeral Potatoes. Top Story - June 2022.
The saying goes that if you want to see people acting weird, go to a funeral or a wedding. The saying would be even more accurate if it mentioned the food. There is always good food at funerals and weddings.
