Cynthia Hochswender

It’s not that the tomatoes broke my spirit or anything. I just couldn’t face growing them again this year. 
And it turns out that was a good decision. This was not a banner year for tomatoes; it was too cool and wet. There wasn’t a hideous blight like the one we  had a few years ago, but everyone I know who has tomato plants has complained to me that they’ll feel lucky if they get some ripe fruit by October.

Chinese banquet food never thrilled me. Jelly fish and sea cucumbers I could live without.  But tree ears, those  dark, chewy, beautiful, black, tender blossoms, a  fungus grown on trees, now there’s a treat. And like many foods in China, mo-er mushrooms are said to have a medicinal value. They improve breathing, people said, circulation and well being.

Swirly, Sensual, Summery Soft Serve

Anne Day

I confess, I am an addict. Driving up from the city,  my tastebuds begin to tremble with anticipation as I get onto Route 22 and approach the Red Rooster in Brewster. Happily, for my vacillating shape, it is a seasonal addiction. The desire begins to emerge just as the peonies begin to bloom around Memorial Day, just about the time the swirly white cones start appearing on flags everywhere.
