With summer upon us, I feel the anticipation of fresh produce and fruits from local Farmer's Markets. The smell and feel of a sweet, large beef steak tomato grilled and drizzled with a little reduced balsamic, yes! Or, a fresh pineapple chunked  and made into a Cuban Batido with ice cold milk--uumm--fresh fruit baditos ( milkshakes) all summer long. A very Cuban thing!

I await eagerly the afternoons when I can linger with the ambiance and  freshness of our local Farmer's Markets. Smelling and caressing each piece of fruit , vegetable or flowers  that are available, and just taking it all in . Summer brings sunshine, happiness, hope and romance. Embrace it, its' on its' way! Que siga la fiesta~~ Let the good times roll:)
