The Boys of Summer

TO SATCH

Sometimes I feel like I will never stop

Just go on forever

Till one fine mornin

I’m gonna reach up and grab me a handfulla stars

Swing out my long lean leg

And whip three hot strikes burnin down the heavens

And look over at God and say

How about that!

Tom Hamilton’s voice once again rings through our Northeast Ohio summer evenings! Our boys of summer inaugurated the 2020 season with a pitching feat: six consecutive starts by six different pitchers who went for at least six innings and allowed no more than two runs. That streak ended with a bang when Shane Bieber returned to the mound to pitch eight scoreless innings in Minnesota on July 30.

The Cleveland Indians accomplished this feat only one other season: 1948. The same season that a scorching hot Satchel Paige helped to bring home Northeast Ohio’s most recent World Series victory.

Looking for a salty snack to pair with a Tribe broadcast, too much zucchini and a cold beer*? We have you covered with our Parmesan Zucchini Fries!

*We recommend Prosperity Wheat, brewed right around the corner from our friends at Larder.

Parmesan Zucchini Fries

  • Wash and trim 1 large or 2 small zucchini.
  • Cut into snack-sized pieces (roughly the size of steak or jojo French fries).
  • In large bowl, toss zucchini in 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Season to taste with Ravine’s Edge Ramp Salt (or garlic salt), dried Italian seasoning and black pepper.
  • Add grated parmesan cheese to taste, note that the cheese will increase the saltiness of the final dish.
  • Arrange so that the zucchini are not touching on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in an oven set to 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
