Food

Growing up in New Jersey did have some benefits. Ecologically, it is the northern range of a whole host of plants.I spent a lot of time in the Pine Barrens. And the shore. Hot and humid in the summer, it does carry a lot of good memories for me. Out in the Pines, nighttime was an incredible mix of sounds.

We also had good food. Harvest Cake, Blueberry Crunch, (works great with a berry mix,yumm!) and Pepper Hash. And of course Jersey tomatoes and corn.

And I can't forget peaches.

Or blue crabs.
