It's a hot and steamy day here in Delaware. Some thunderstorms are passing through as I type this blog entry. The rain is giving all of the beautiful flowers an extra dose of water today. Chef Hugo recently designed this heavenly recipe that is both nourishing and refreshing. If you prefer a vegan entree, simply omit the turkey. Try it out and let us know what you think.
