Mmmmm... fun thread!

Summer cravings for me... fresh cherries, ANYTHING grilled outdoors, snow-cones at the beach, seafood, iced tea
Fall... tomato soup and grilled cheese! (though that sometimes lasts the whole year through)
Winter... hockey-game snacks, my FI''s award-winning turkey chili, hot chocolate every night!
Spring... picnic foods (preferably from DiBruno''s - yummy deli/restaurant close to my apt)

Hi Epemery1~

Snow cones ... Ahhh, brings back childhood memories of stained white shirts and red & blue ringed mouths!

Those were sure fun back then!

So what kind of snacks do you consider ''Hockey-game'' snacks? Just curious!

Have a great day!

Mmmm... now I''m hungry for a snow-cone!! Preferably blue and red!

Hockey game snacks include any sort of bad-for-you stadium food... hot sausages, soft pretzels, popcorn, french fries, cotton candy, soda, etc! Things that I can always justify when its a "special occasion"... nevermind if that special occasion happens weekly!

DF, are you in orange county??? we have strawberry fields all over here!! They are soooo delicious this time of year!!! There's one I drive by in fountain valley, and when they are starting to ripen, I roll down the car windows and the smell!!! OMG!!! So overwhelming and satisfying!! Unfortunately, I think they are going to put an office building over that field soon

And I second the Lychees, so good chilled!! Add some mangos, and asian pears, and I'm in fruit heaven!! I grew up in albuquerque, and the fruit was never as good there. But CA has it all, so fresh, large, and juicy!! You are tempting me to go on a midnight run to the grocery store!!

i'm up north in Sacto. mangos,asian pears

i'm waiting for fresh LOOGAN

DF, I LOVE longan! More than lychees actually. And mangos... love them.

Joy, I'm getting so hungry reading this thread! Everything sounds so scrumptious!

Summertime for me is all about ice cream and smoothies/milkshakes. I can't get enough of them. I used to have a smoothie every day. My favorites are mango/strawberry or avocado. For winter and fall, I love noodle soups.

Cherries, watermelon

Ice cream, any flavor except for fruity stuff (sorbets, sherbets). I'm a strictly chocolate, caramel, and nuts person.

ETA: grilled corn, BBQ. Love those mangoes too!

Would you mind sharing your beer stew recipe? If you would like to ... here or in the recipe thread would be so awesome.

Sure! I''ll have to dig it up...I''m pretty sure I found it online somewhere. I''ll post it in both places.
