The Summer of Stranger Things. Runner-Up in Summer Camp Challenge.
It was my family's equivalent of zucchini. Not that my brothers and I hadn't had our share of variations on that vegetable: zucchini bread, zucchini casserole, baked zucchini, boiled zucchini, fried zucchini—and on and on. The three of us grew to hate the very site of the indestructible plant slowly taking over my mother's garden. For years afterward I couldn't look at zucchini, never mind eat it, but that summer the speckled green vegetable was impossible to avoid.

The Third Ingredient
I am seven years old. We live in England, near Norwich. My dad’s business has exploded, and we are suddenly wealthy. He buys a proper English country house, something of a dream of his. It has a big garden, and my dad - rather optimistically, considering English weather - buys a barbeque.

Thee Barbecue Rib
Summertime has arrived. The sun is perched in the sky being every bit of disrespectful as the temperature soars above 90. Yet, this weather and time of year serves as a call, similar to that of a mating call in the wild, to those who hold the barbecue as the champion of warm weather dining events. Shortly after noon, preferably on Saturdays since the festivities at a barbecue can lead to a food hangover that may trickle over into the beginning of the work week, the air starts to fill with a scent endearing to us all – savory smoky fumes of lit charcoal on a grill. We all know that smell; that bouquet broaches ideas of good eats and cold drinks. Barbecue connoisseurs are able to detect whether the aroma is coming from a grill using propane, wood chips, or charcoal briquettes.

Mango Mania: Tales of Summer Nostalgia
Since moving to England two months ago, I've not really had a 'food problem.' Rice, a staple in the Philippines, is readily available here - I was, in fact, pleasantly surprised to see an aisle label for it in Tesco. There are Asian stores for condiments, and for the rest, well, I'm not particularly endeared to most of them. As blasphemous as it might sound to other Filipinos, I'm not really a fan of binignit, sinigang or lechon.
