Summer time Food AND Drink Bucket List
BY ADAM BAILEY

ummer is the best. The days are warmer, longer, and just happier. In addition to family vacations, summer is also one of the best seasons for eating and drinking. There’s ample produce ripe for the picking (and cooking), and it’s prime patio season for restaurants, bars, and breweries. Here are some food-related activities to add to your food bucket list and complete before Labor Day.
1. MAKE ICE CREAM. Everyone loves ice cream! But did you know you can easily make this summertime dessert at home? You don’t need an ice cream maker to do it, either. You can keep it simple with a strawberry soft serve or a kid-friendly cake batter ice cream or get creative with PB&J-inspired or a unique goat cheese ice cream. 2. PERFECT YOUR GUACAMOLE RECIPE. Guacamole is a go-to party food any time of the year, but there’s something especially satisfying about this creamy, cold dip in the summertime. Learn the basics of making a great guac and then play around with the flavors. Mix in tomatoes or jalapenos, or get more creative with roasted garlic, bacon, or beans in your avocado dip.

3. EAT AT A FOOD TRUCK. There’s a special kind of joy in eating at a food truck, especially when they have niche and unusual offerings. Waffle sandwiches, Mexican street corn, and outrageous burgers all make for perfect summer eats.
