So, it’s that time again. The heat wave is coming and so are the yummy summer foods. You know what I’m talking about. Grilling outside, fighting the bugs for your food, every fruit coming into season.

I have to take a moment to rhapsodize about my top ten favorite summer foods.

1. Seedless watermelon

2. White peaches

3. Grilled corn on the cob (which I promptly cut off the cob because it gets stuck in my teeth and drives me batty)

4. Fresh picked cherries. And I do mean fresh, I grew up in a farm town so I worked sometimes in the cherry orchards in summer for cash.

5. Orange sherbet

6. Barbecue chicken

7. Nectarines

6. Margaritas (Okay, it’s technically not a food. Whatev)

7. Popsicles

8. Fruit salad with whipped cream on top

9. My aunt’s homemade pomegranate jam on warm biscuits

10. Cantaloupe
