Page 8-C Creative Cooking From The Chowan Herald Kitchen By Mildred Hus kins Summer is a thirsty season so it is fortunate that so many seasonal fruits are thirst-quenching and refreshing. One thing to stand up and cheer about in this bicentennial year is the all- American blueberry. It was here waiting to help the Pilgrims survive that first winter, and it brightened the lives of the patriots when their day rolled around, a century and a half later. Today, 200 years after the birth of our nation, blueberries are a-boming on farms in North Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, Maine and the Northwest. The fresh blues are now coming to market. They are not in as good supply as usual in North Carolina due to the erratic springtime weather but, even though they are higher in price because they are a little scarce, celebrate by blowing your family to a classic Publick House Blueberry Pie. It is said that the recipe was devised by a man who ran a post house on the Boston Post Road in the 19th century. People planned their trips, so the ' V SUMMER SALAD—MeIon and Chicken Salad is a pretty new way to serve cantaloupe. Try, too, Fresh Cantaloupe and Cherry Compote, which is a pretty and refreshing dessert.

(Note: One teaspoon lemon added to filling adds a bit of zip.) Cantaloupes have a summery, mellow flavor that is welcome in today’s meals. They’re delectable cut in halves or wedges and eaten with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime; but now when they’re in season is the time to try cantaloupes in other ways, too. Melon and Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing is fine summer fare and serves up cantaloupe in a different style. The salad is served in a melon ring which makes a pretty luncheon main dish. A well chilled Cantaloupe Cherry Compote is beautiful to look at and refreshing to taste.
