Friend Food Pt. 3

Mexican mouse melons from our awesome next-door neighbors.
I love putting these posts together because it always reminds me how much I have to be grateful for. In recent weeks we’ve been gifted all kinds of super tasty foods including these Mexican mouse melons that I guarantee are the cutest food I’ve eaten all summer.
Hope you’ve been eating/drinking/living well. What’s been on your plate?
My neighbor Alison and I did a weekend morning berry exchange earlier this summer. She left a bowl of just-picked raspberries on my front porch before I woke up and I picked blueberries and left them on her porch mid-morning.
Alison also gave us some of her homemade vegan strawberry ice cream made with almond milk that was amazing.
And then there was the vegan tomato corn soup that my friend Michelle made from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's and Terry Hope Romero's cookbook Veganomicon that I couldn't have shared if I wanted to.
Made these sour cherries that I picked with friends from a neighborhood tree into cherry wine that's bubbling away in the utility room and will be ready to drink in several months.
Our next-door neighbors Michael and Mulysa gave us this enormous bowl filled with all different lettuces from their backyard. So good.
Our friend Mount has been supplying us with his incredible coffee ever since Tyler built a coffee dispenser for his roastery. Delicious.
Our neighbor Butch gave us this side of Chinook straight off the boat. He and his family go fishing most weekends in the summer and early fall and we always get a lot of the catch. I'll show you what me made with it in upcoming posts.
