We’ll be trying to stay cool beside Bantam Lake today before we head over to the Marketplace, where it always seems hot.
A new salad is on the menu . . .
Just-Picked Corn Salad. A cool, refreshing side salad with sweet native corn, ripe tomato, scallions, parsley and olive oil. Gazpacho Andaluz is also on board, perhaps the most delicious, vegetable-based method of cooling off ever devised.
Of course, you may rely on tried and true ice cold Avery’s sodas or Rocket-Brewed Iced Tea to temper the heat.
You can also go the other way and douse a chicken or beef taco in Dragon’s Blood Elixir Jolokia Hot Sauce . . . go ahead, we dare you.
