There is very little cultural blending of food in July except when we hit the July 4th weekend and then head to the shore in August. Summer foods are more regional than cultural I've found. Yesterday we had our annual July 4th food fest. It featured the traditional Tabor foods:
Fried Chicken
Yellow mustard/mayo potato salad
Bing! Cherries
Chips and Lipton Onion Soup Chip Dip
Added to the list this year were:
Salsa and Guacamole with El Milagro Chips
A green bean/new potato salad that is like a niçoise salad without the tuna (a nod to my need to lower cholesteral for those I love.)
Missing this year - I had the stuff but lacked the mo-
Homemade ice cream
New beverage of choice for the summer has become the Vodka Tonic with a generous splash of pomegranate juice. Sqeeze of lime. Fruity without being sweet.
We head to the Jersey shore in August. Clam strips and raw bar and bloody marys. Must take the V & T recipe to the shore.
Our family reunion is in three weeks. We spend four days hanging out on the shores of Lake Shetek. Food is a central part of that event. More to come about that.

About Me
- Kate T
- In my family food has always been a significant part social and family gatherings. When my Catholic-Protestant background married into a family with roots in Belarus and Poland, the food thing took on a whole new meaning. Since 1990 I've been trying to figure out how we do this Christian-Jewish family food configuration. In my mild mannered alter-ego, I am also a teacher.
