One of My Favorite Things About Summer


This DELICIOUS picture is one of my favorite things about summer....FRESH VEGETABLES! It is also the plate of food I fixed for dinner last night! My mom and Grandmother loved to fix fresh vegetables in the summer, so naturally, I fix them too. Well, yesterday I was craving fresh Lady Peas and Silver Queen Corn! So, off I went to Andy's Farmers Market to make a few purchases to go along with the Pork Chops I had thawed out for dinner. My purchases consisted of Silver Queen Corn (which I came home and shucked!), Squash, Okra, and Lady Peas. Let me just add that I was a sight yesterday of a TRUE Southern Girl, sitting on my couch shelling peas! That is right, I sat on the couch with a the TV on and a bowl that I shelled 1.5 pounds of fresh lady peas into. Just thought I would share one of my joys of summer with you, and also make you a little jealous and hungry! We will be eating more dinners like this, as it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
