Are all of you enjoying the bounty of this summer’s vegetables? I just have to tell y’all about the tasty supper my family had at Mama’s house tonight. The occasion for celebration was my brother Jeremy’s 31st birthday. It was a very impromptu party. Mama and I planned the menu in about a 10-minute phone conversation. Soon thereafter, my brother and my husband were tending to the grill loaded with New York strip steaks, yellow summer squash, onions, and mushrooms, and yellow and white sweet corn. We also grilled a loaf of French bread, cut on the bias, that I served with my favorite topping – a mix of chopped homegrown heirloom tomatoes, minced garlic, chiffonade of basil, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of vinegar. The steaks were perfect, and the side vegetables were colorful and savory. For dessert, Mama made Jeremy’s favorite cake, which we call “Mississippi Mud.” It’s really an old-fashioned chocolate pudding cake, the kind where you mix batter and put it in a casserole dish, then pour boiling water combined with cocoa powder and sugar over the top before you put it in the oven. Something magical happens in the oven – as the mixture cooks, cake rises to the top and the bottom becomes a layer of chocolate pudding. It is delicious served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A good time was had by all!
Here is a little teaser for next week: I’ll write about peaches and share a recipe for homemade peach ice cream.
Until then, enjoy the remainder of the weekend, and we’ll see you Wednesday at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
