During the summer I enjoy spending a day or two at the grocery store or farmers market checking out the season’s latest produce, but last week a friend told me that Hmart had Jackfruit on sale, and I couldn’t wait to get to the closest store for a purchase. Choosing wasn’t difficult as all the produce appeared fresh and looked great so, I got one that would yield enough fruit for the family.
The health and beauty benefits of a watermelon is astounding and always a lure. Besides creating delicious salads or making a tasty drink in the blender, melons of any kind make summer worthwhile. And, don’t forget watermelon by itself on a hot, humid day is probably the best treat to stay hydrated and cool.
The countdown to summer is officially on, and while I don’t know where or when I’ll be taking a summer vacation, I do plan on relaxing most luxuriously and taking it easy at Heath.
1. Philips Collection on 21st Street in DC. Up Close with Paul Cezanne until July 14, 20241.
Went back to the District of Columbia to dive into the collection Up Close with Paul Cezanne at the Philips Collection, which is there until July 14, 2024
Portrait of Cezanne, etching on paper, 1874 by Camille Pissarro
Ginger Pot with Pomegranate and Pears, oil on canvas, 1890-93 Claude Monet purchased this painting in 1898, four years after Cezanne visited Giverny [Monet’s home], and the picture remained in pristine condition in large part because Monet purchased it directly from the artist and displayed it in his bedroom for decades.
2. La Bouillabaisse de Pierrette at L’ Avant Garde 2915 M Street, NW Washington, DC
This traditional Provençal fish stew is one of the easiest and most satisfying meals you can make, and is always a major focus when in a French restaurant. This stew has the most scrumptious aroma especially when served with garlic bread.
3. Watching my niece and nephew have a fantastic time in Disney World
I look forward to the daily photos of the kids having a great time in Florida.
4. The barbecuing season has offically started…… love the summer season!!!
