I have many great memories of summer picnics and gatherings at my Maw Maw’s. We would spend the morning picking black berries with all the cousins and then come in at noon to a huge spread of food. Maw Maw would make fried chicken, southern green beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, and sliced tomatoes. We would have a choice of ice tea or Kool-Aid to drink. Desert would be a cherry pie made with the cherries from the tree in her yard. We would take our plates to the front porch to eat while we sat with our legs dangling down towards the ground. When we had finished our lunch there would be a race to see who could climb the maple trees the fastest. Only three of us would fit in the tree at a time, so you had to be fast. Those were good times. With those summer gatherings in mind I have posted a potato salad recipe that includes tomatoes. I have also shared my Maw Maw’s recipe for 7-Up salad. Enjoy!
