Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
For those who live in areas where summer, fall, winter, and spring are more than just seasonal tags that tell you what month it is, September is both an exciting and sad time. As the warmth slowly fades away, it's time to revel in squash and all those warm, tasty dishes. But it also means an end to the overabundance of freshness, the time where each week can be an adventure into new produce. The vegetables in the grocery store aren't the same wonderful rainbow of colors. It becomes harder to find the same depth of flavor.
Me, I look at the heirloom caprese salad above, which I ate only a few weeks ago, and wish that the produce season could be just a little longer. I'll miss buying a large basket of tomatoes for only $6, and saturating myself in salsa, sauce, and fresh slices of tomato. I'll miss the large, affordable bunches of basil that work better than any air freshener.
What about you? What summer foods will you miss?

I had my year garden veg experience this summer, missing the tomatoes and the basil, luckily I have preserved them to enjoy in the winter. I have a blog too, visit if have time.
