The following fruits are IN SEASON & should be PEAKING this month:
- nectarines
- raspberries
- grapes
- apples
- tomatoes
Entertaining: The easiest display that classes up your place is a display of fruit in a glass bowl. If you have shells and/or have been by the ocean, use shells strewn along the middle of the table or around your bowls. I’ve made an easy entertaining piece by putting some sand in a jelly jar, throw a few shells in and then pop a votive or small tea light candle in there! You can also use little pots of fresh herbs ((~$3)) on tables or serving areas. [Wrap those plastic pots you bought 'em in extra tissue paper you saved from all your recent retail purchases.] If you don’t want to deal with the pots afterward, simply buy a few sprigs of herbs from the market (like basil which is also said to keep some insects away), and tie colored thread around them like a bouquet. Buy loads of extra (throw or accent pillows) from thrift or discount stores; encourage people to use them at the chairs, on the floor, or outside.
Speaking of peaches: Ever tried grilling peaches on the BBQ?
Or putting some sliced ones in a pitcher of chilled white wine or sangria?
