Summer Treats from Around the World - Blog Carnival

Summertime is a great time for dining outdoors and enjoying the dozens of locally-grown fresh fruit and vegetables that are readily available only during this season. Summer is also a good time to expand your culinary horizons by trying new dishes. Alison Welner, our About.com Guide to Culinary Travel, has compiled a terrific list of 36 summer treats for all of us to try when traveling or at home. These yummy delights include refreshing drinks, ice cream, picnic fare, and summer treats from the USA and around the world.

Alison has even included the recipe for a Eureka, the delicious signature cocktail of the Celebrity Solstice Lawn Club. I can't think of a better use for all those extra cucumbers growing in our garden!
