I had one of the best melons yesterday—so sweet and juicy. This year's strawberries are huge, and I have a large bag of those, as well. Also, I have a beautiful pineapple sitting on my granite counter at the kitchen window. I have put off cutting into it because it looks so perfect there. Big meat eater here and I usually plan my meals around meat or seafood. I grew up on the coast of Eureka, CA, and fresh fish was always on the table, as were chickens raised by grandpa or rabbits. Then I met Gene, and he and his dad owned a business selling fresh, locally raised beef, wild deer, and more. He introduced me to so much that I had never eaten, like real steaks, not the pounded flat pieces my mom used to buy.
