STORY
A Taste of the Wild
It is a beautiful summer day, and Spiro decides to try something he has always wanted to do: taste a junebug grub. He knows that wild skunks who live in the forest and meadow eat grubs all the time, but he, himself, had never tried one. When he finally makes it to the meadow, digs one up and tastes his first grub, however, he sets himself up to learn a valuable lesson about what it is to be wild.

Sparkle Kitchen: Flower-y Summer Salad
This week's recipe is far more lovely and appealing than grub-y grubs, although it's just as wild. This week we're making a gorgeous summer salad with edible flowers.
Sour Cherry and Whipped Goat Cheese Tart
Combined with tangy, honey-sweetened goat cheese and a sprinkle of dark chocolate, these tarts look fancier than they are. And, by using mason jar lids as tart “pans” you avoid the need for extra kitchen gear. Easy, beautiful, delicious--in short, these sour cherry tarts are a pretty perfect early summer dessert!
