Summer in NC is spectacular! Plants thrive because of our long growing season and what is better than talking about food? Nothing! The ladies talk about the bounty of summer. They start by talking about what they eat after freediving and surfing but then digress into a discussion about the end of summer abundance. They share recipes and food ideas so nothing goes to waste. Oh yeah, and thank you so much Sandy Errante for your support!!
