Seems like summer is finally here in Southern California — we love sunny mornings! In case you missed it among the recipes we posted following our fundraiser for Arts & Services for the Disabled, we’re posting it again. It’s a simple and delicious way to enjoy summer’s most popular treat.

Delicious, ripe melons are now available at the farmers’ market. For those of you here in Southern California, check out the Long Beach Sunday Market. According to their website (www.longbeachsundaymarket.com/melons-at-the-market), “The orange fleshed muskmelon commonly know as cantaloupe in these parts is especially good.”
Now is the time to try our Chilled Melon Soup. It’s simple and refreshing!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our “Cooking Class for a Cause” benefitting Arts & Services for the Disabled (www.artsandservices.org). We had a great time making new friends and “grilling with an Asian flair” together. For those of you who could not make it, or for those of you who attended but lost or forgot to take your recipes, they are posted below. We enjoyed the meal accompanied by a delicious zinfandel from Opolo Vineyards (www.opolo.com)
We plan to do another event for ASD in August — stay tuned for details!

Relishes and salsas are a great addition to your summer barbecue. Served with grilled fish or chicken, they can make ordinary meals extraordinary — and they’re so simple. Here are a few recipes we use, but be creative and add or substitute some of your favorite summer fruits, veggies, peppers and flavors.
We’ll be serving the Cucumber Pepper Relish with Thai Grilled Shrimp at today’s fundraiser for Arts & Services for the Disabled (www.artsandservices.org). For those of you joining us in support of this great organization, we look forward to seeing you there!

Happy Fourth of July!
I’m still working in Pebble Beach — the Fourth of July will be my last day. I’m looking forward to getting home!
While we think making your own BBQ sauce is always the best way to go, Bon Appetit online recently did a taste test of store-bought brands. Their top picks include Kraft Original, Stubbs and KC Masterpiece Original. Read about it here: http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/badaily/2010/07/the-best-barbecue-sauce.html
If you’re up for making your own this weekend, click the link below for our recipe. The recipe includes pork ribs, but you can use it on anything. Enjoy, and let freedom ring!
