Title: Summer time foods....
Post by: Timmay on June 01, 2008, 09:33:18 PM
Well I know these arent limited to summer time...but I think they fit very well in summertime.  Which is  your favorite salad from the following four?

Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Bean salad or Pea salad.

My problem is I like all four!

What exactly is pea salad?  I've never heard of it.

Post by: Timmay on June 01, 2008, 09:39:24 PM

Does it still have the potatoes and beans in it?
Title: Re: Summer time foods....
Post by: Timmay on June 01, 2008, 09:53:01 PM
no silly...lol

you make it just liek those but you leave out the key ingredient..ie..potato, macaroni or beans and just substitute peas.....
Title: Re: Summer time foods....
Post by: Razor X on June 01, 2008, 09:56:40 PM
So it's basically just peas and mayonnaise?
Title: Re: Summer time foods....

Other than BBQ some favorites of mine are

Ramen salad, it is basically 2 heads of iceberg lettuce, 1 head of cabbage with a bag of dry crushed ramen noodles and some terriyaki sauce

Then there is the classic fruit salad. Everyonce in a while in the summer we will do a fruit night with a big bowl of fruit salad and some melon slices and oranges.
 
Which leads to Snicker salad which is 2 or 3 chopped apples, a snickers bar cut up and a bunch of whipped topping

Fresh sliced tomatoes and basil from our garden drizzled with some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cracked pepper and salt, maybe some fresh mozzarella. That's summer food to me!

I'm a definite tater salad gal... mmm, especially when it's made with baby new potatoes (still with their skins on) or Jersey Royals.
And I know it's really piggy of me, but I can never wait for it to cool down.. somehow it tastes twice

Watermelon, sweet corn on cob,pork BBQ,jalapenos/habaneros,potato salad,fresh sliced tomatoes heavy on the salt.

I've had tomatoes all over the world in Australia,Japan,Mexico,Indonesia,all throughout N.America and never have I tasted a tomatoe that even comes close to the ones grown by Leo Conrad in Grand Rapids OHIO. Those things are the sweetest,juiciest,ripest tomatoes you ever did have the pleasure of eating.

I doo agree too !

If you like tomatoes and mozzarella, I suggest you try this combination:
Tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil and origan (Oregano).

Estragon (Tarragon) goes well with tomatoes too. In this case replace mozzarella with feta. (Avoid Russian variety of Tarragon as it is less tasty.)

the best way to get a watermelon cold is throw it in the pool for about an hour.

Cut a hole in it, fill it up with vodka, rum whatever and put the plug back on it.  cover the whole with some clean tape to keep the liquor from leaking out and throw it in the pool.   mmmmmmmm

Paula Deen is like what you see on TV.  That is her through and through.  And yes, we eat watermelon, peaches and tomatos a LOT down here. 

I do want to have a New England lobster boil party on night this summer.  Can any of my Yankee Sly Brothers help me out.  I've heard you can boil them and steam them.  What's the best way?  I've heard that boiling them makes them waterlogged.

All I know is I want some of them Georgia Peaches that get the size of grapefruits and juicey enough to drown an elephant.  I remember long long ago, drivign thru Georgia late august early sept.  bought some peaches from a man at a road rest...OH DAMN you talk about some fresh damn peaches...I think I paid 5 bucks for liek 6 of them....I would pay 10 for em today just to have some.  SO when is the best time to purchase peaches from Georgia...I will be driving thru there next weekend.....I WANT SOME BAD!
Title: Re: Summer time foods....
Post by: GASlick on June 04, 2008, 09:58:42 PM
They're getting ripe now.  You can get some varieties now.  The rest will be ready here in a few weeks.  I like to buy them and other vegetables from the roadside stands.  You meet the greatest people and get the freshest food.  Also, selling their stuff is usually their only source of income.  So it kind of helps them out too.

You paid $5 bucks for peaches! I think the guy you bought those peaches from must have been a carpetbagger.

I paid 89 cents for a pound up here in Boston. They were rather small, but still tasty. Never saw peaches the size of a grapefruit. Must have been mutant peaches.

The peaches you buy in grocery stores are from CA or Jersey or wherever.  They taste nothing like a genuine Georgia Peach.

The closest I'll get to Ga this summer is Jersey. Fresh Jersey peaches may not be the size of grapefruits, but their just as tasty.

Both types of Peaches are great tasting. That is your opinion that Georgia peaches are better than Jersey peaches.

Just like it is YOUR opinion that the Red n Whites are a good look for you, others would vehemently disagree.

Reading what everyone else posted reminded me of all the stuff I forgot. One is fresh BBQ chicken. When I say fresh, I mean butchered a half our before you cook them. Some other things are the fresh fruit, there is nothing like fresh Washington Apples, we live about 45 minutes from Green Bluff which is kinda a tourist trap but they have tons of orchars there and they have festivals all the time like the cherry pickers trot which is a 4 mile run with a pit spit at the end. Another thing my wife does in the summer is strawberry jam. We had such a late winter so the june strawberries are just now starting to bloom.
 One of my wifes family traditional foods is grilled onions, you core the sweet onion, either Walla Walla or Vidalia and stick a chunk of butter, about a table spoon in the middle, then wrap it in foil and stick it on the grill for about an hour.
 Reading about all the peaches makes me want to have some peaches and fresh cream or peaches on top of cottage cheese. Which reminds me of another favorite, grilled pine apple, we always grill big slabs of pine apple and eat them plain or stick it on a burger.
 Tonight we are having a big BBQ with a bunch of friends with some steak, grilled onions and pine apple, some burgers, sweet potato fries and probably some chicken. The best thing we are having as paul said is BEER!
