It’s summer and that means sun, visit this site sand and lots of sweat. Summer in New York has always had an unpredictable beginning, also known as June. Then it’s hot, humid and lots of sweat. This year has been a wet summer. Not bad, but definitely not normal. It means our beach camping days have been limited and bbq’s few. That doesn’t mean we havent been doing both. That would be silly . What it does mean, is a change in what we pack for the beach and keeping our bbq’s a little more simple. For camping we’ve been making our vegetarian chile and chicken mole for dinners and spam musabi’s for lunches. These have become our staples. We’ve also been making our famous cole slaw, corn salad and curried corn for BBQ’S. I always feel a little guilty bringing these out but a friend said, “don’t, these have become tradition. We want these side dishes at your bbq’s”. That was a huge compliment and humbling moment. I’m always happy when someone likes what we cook, who doesn’t? But to be starting a tradition is something completely different. To me that is a true testament to home and comfort. I’m glad we can bring a little of both to our friends and our home. Here’s to traditions, summer, friends and comfort food. Now go out and make a tradition of your own!
