Hi. My name is Joyce.
I’m a glutton.
Those of you who share this
same sort of personal downfall
may stay and we’ll talk through
our problems.
The rest of you are excused to
go munch on your celery sticks.
Most of the time, I try to keep
my food-loving tendencies under
control. Exert self-discipline.
Avoid serious pigging out
(Of course, we all have our own
personal weak spots. Like ice
cream. And popcorn.)
Still, most of the time, food
mania and I share an uneasy truce.
It also helps if there are no choco
late chip cookies or homemade pie
in the house.
Until August hits. Or whenever
the first wave of tomatoes turns
juicy, red and sweet Eaten out of
hand, from stalk to mouth, still
slightly warm from the day’s sun
shine. Tossed with slivered green
peppers and onions, a sprinkling
of Italian dressing and dusted with
basil and oregano.
Or layered with crisp bacon,
crunchy lettuce, on toast with
mayo. Actually, I can do just as
well without the bacon, or the
toasting, even the lettuce, if press
ed for time. Mayo (or salad dress
ing) is mandatory, however.

- WE UPS DAILY -
days of the year is the one on
which the last homegrown tomato
is consumed. When it comes to
tomatoes. I’m a glutton.
Not to forget watermelon. A
chunk of dripping, pink-red melon
satisfies both appetite and thirst
During prolonged hot weather, we
can chunk up and chow down a
fair-sized melon in a matter of a
couple of meals and snacks.
Yes, that was me on my hands
and knees on the local supermark
et floor recently, retrieving form
way back under a produce counter
a large, turned-oul-to-be
absolutely-delicious, yellow
bellied, striped watermelon.
Though not as accessible as the
ones right out front it answered
with a resounding, hollow
sounding “thunk” when I rapped.
It was truly a melon well-worth
making a public spectacle of one
self to wrestle it onto a supermark
et cart.
In between bites of melon,
there’s cantaloupe to savor.
Baking heat nearly “did in” our
six early, lush hills of cantaloupe.
Sbme almost-too-late watering
coaxed the stalks to hang on
’er, droop on long enough to
bring their fruits to harvest under
the ( parching sun. Two late hills
are being coddled and fussed over
to prolong one glutton’s joy of

BUT 2 BAGS OP CANDY ft GET
A CANDY JAR FREE
CHICAGO. IL. The search
has stopped for America's best
amateur beef recipes. The top IS
.finalists of the 1993 National Beef
fresh, homegrown breakfast can
taloupe for a week or two more.
Recent rain was a Godsend for
cantaloupes and everything
else.
While drying up my 'lopes, hot,
dry weather is just peachy for our
local orchards, making peaches
extra sweet and flavorful. Even
better than a fresh peach is two
fresh peaches, chopped up over
vanilla ice cream.(There’s dial ice
cream passion again.)
But the ultimate August glut
tony lurks in fresh sweet com,
yanked off die stalks from a Held
near the house, prompdy plopped
into a kettle of boiling water and
then slathered with butter real
butter after a couple of minutes
of cooking.
This year’s sweet com was put
on one of the last Helds to be
planted and nowhere close to a
supply of water where it could be
irrigated. And while we nearly
waded through some Helds little
more than two months ago, mud
holes were quickly transformed
into sun-perched, hard-baked
ground by the intense heat. Won
derful, timely rains have renewed
this glutton’s anticipation of
steaming platters of 30-minutes
from-Held-to-table roasting ears.
I could say this August gluttony
is the fault of my parents, who by
both teaching and example taught
us to love gardening and delight in
fresh fruits and vegetables. I could
say that, but I’d best not.
They also taught us not to talk
with our mouths full.
