Summer Dinner

Summertime at our home in Grays Chapel, North Carolina means fresh vegetables and fruit, and with my wife and daughter-in-law working together in the kitchen, dinner is a special time. Friday, there was a crumb top plum pie fresh from our trees and flash fried okra with eggplant parmesan made with fresh eggplant and marinara sauce from the garden. Add fresh tomatoes and cantaloupe and you're good to go.
