Part III of the summer recap:  Mattfolio.

Everything in the pictures above has collard greens in them.  In the last few years of my life its become a staple, but prior to that, I had never even heard of it.  So to follow up with the past couple of notes, obviously, this is another major component in our summer dining aside from the noodles.  Another essential-

Corn meal!  It’s called ‘grits’ I learned.  Not ‘polenta.’

With okra- another thing I had never ate at home in the past, along with the aforementioned collard greens and cornmeal.  

I never imagined this.  I never thought that I’d be treated to such exotic fares on the regz, and that I’d find myself living a bucolic life in the outer borough.  But one day, I met a boy who is the total opposite of me.  He was the first boy I met who seemed to really like to cook although I thought his food tasted a bit too hippie co-op at first.  I’m not sure if I just learned to like it, or he’s improved over the years.  Whichever the case may be, these days I’m just thankful.  Thankful that I can do absolutely nothing, and be treated to this-

and this-

and my favorite-

Fried green tomatoes.  Apparently, not just a movie title.  So here it is- greatest hits of Matt’s summer creations, and with this, I’m wrapping up the summer recap.  Thanks for another a lot-more-than- bearable-summer, Matt, 수현언니, and dear friends.

Remember this?  :D
