Best if preceded by a meal straight from the garden or your local farmers market that includes snap beans cooked as you like, sliced vine ripe heirloom tomatoes, cantaloupe, corn-on-the-cob, cucumbers and onions briefly marinaded in apple cider vinegar, water and salt, flash sauted zuccini/yellow crook-necked squash (still very small off the vine and briefly marinated with in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and tarragon) or lightly breaded in a cornmeal batter patty-pan squash and flash fried. Meat optional.

This menu will likely kill the cook, who died of starvation or a heart attack from stress at the formidable task of getting everything ready and at the right hot or cold temperature at the perfect time for all to sit down to the perfect summer supper. You will likely die right afterwards from clogged arteries, etc. But all will die with smiles on their faces and the last memories of all will include happy taste buds.
