we recently fried up some okra from our garden and it was delicious! we ate the tasty treats with ribs and collards from maddy’s and cole slaw from chik-fil-a. it was a hodge podge of our favorite southern delights!

fyi, maddy’s collard greens recently won best overall at the east lake farmers market collard greens cook-off and they are pretty awesome!

the east lake farmers market is up and running again on saturdays from 9am to 1pm. it’s open through october and can be found at the corner of 2nd avenue and hosea williams drive in the east lake/kirkwood area. the market features lots of local farmers selling fruit, vegetables, eggs, salsas and all sorts of other stuff.

with tomato season finally upon us, we picked up some beautiful heirloom tomatoes from ora farms on our last trip to the market. we grabbed an early girl and an orange blossom. check out our july 4th blog post for a great tomato pie recipe we used with these wonderful tomatoes!

we also grabbed a couple of lemon cucumbers, which we had never tried before. these were quite interesting. the inside was slightly sweeter than normal cucumbers with a little softer texture, but the outside texture was very course and bumpy with small black seeds and they were the size of lemons. they were odd, but worth trying.

this saturday is the 2nd annual peachapalooza at the east lake farmers market. it’s a juried cooking competition celebrating all things peach! stop by to sample some amazing peach creations!

a couple of months ago we planted our summer garden! we became quite swamped with clementine shortly afterwards, however, and never got around to writing about it. well, here we go!

back in may, we spent a nice saturday afternoon with gub’s mom getting our garden ready. we weeded and prepped the soil and planted our summer crop. we planted various tomatoes, green & red bell peppers, okra, corn, cucumbers, basil and mint. we can’t wait!

more progress updates to follow!

ps…in case you were wondering, our corn is knee high by the fourth of july!

clementine went on her first drive-in adventure last weekend! we took her to the starlight six, which is one of our favorite places to go in atlanta. we figured a drive-in theater was the perfect movie atmosphere for a newborn. if she started to fuss, we could just head into our car and close the windows.

so we packed our cooler and enjoyed a nice summer family outing! we ended up seeing bridesmaids, which was hilarious. hopefully we can do this a few more times before clem gets too restless for such outings.
