TUTTI FRUTTI

Pineapples and watermelons are (so) in (this) season and we're celebrating them in all their tropical glory today.  From wrapping paper to fashion and home accessories, these are the coolest fruits in town for summer.  Feeling hot?  Cool off with some watermelon, lime and hibiscus ice pops...because you are what you eat!

EATING OUTDOORS

'Tis the season for beach BBQ's and picnics in the park.  Start with a comfy blanket or towel to sit on and a basket big enough to tote your edible goodies.  Add in compostable or reusable plates, cups and utensils (think green!) and anything you'll need to prepare or present your meal such as a cutting board, cookware or ice bucket.  Pump up the jams with an outdoor radio, throw in a frisbee or volleyball and let the good times roll!
