When stone fruits and berries reach their seasonal peak, it's time to bake rustic desserts. In this class you'll learn to showcase fresh summer fruits in pies, galettes, cobblers and buckles that are great for picnics and barbecues. We'll demonstrate how to assemble a lattice crust, make a streusel topping and balance the flavors of the filling so the fruit is the star.

If you're new to canning, you may be surprised to discover how easy and safe modern canning truly is. Join us and learn how to can tomatoes—it's an excellent introduction to the technique. Our experts will show you the tricks of the trade for preserving summer tomatoes to enjoy throughout the year.

FROM GARDEN TO CUPBOARD: PERFECT PICKLES- Sunday, July 21
Pickling, an age-old technique for preserving foods, is enjoying a revival these days. And no wonder—who can resist a colorful jar of pickled garden vegetables, or crunchy homemade pickles atop a grilled burger? We'll create pickling blends, both sweet and spicy, and make quick refrigerator pickles as well as canned ones.

FARMERS' MARKET FINDS - Sunday, July 28
Farmers' market stalls are brimming with summer's fresh fruits and vegetables, including those seasonal favorites: corn, tomatoes, bell peppers and squashes. But what to do with it all?

FREE Comerica Java & Jazz Concert Series at Detroit Main Library closes on July 16th with Sin Hielo

Free concert series comes to an end on July 16th...

Comerica Bank has partnered with the Detroit Public Library to present the FREE Comerica Java & Jazz: A Coffee House Series for the 13th consecutive year. The concert series brings world-renowned jazz musicians to Detroit for music fans to enjoy free of charge.

“Comerica is proud to present the Java & Jazz series, which provides an arts and culture experience for people of all ages, backgrounds and budgets,” said Patricia McCann, vice president, national civic affairs manager, Comerica Bank. “Detroit has a great history of jazz music dating back to the 1950s, and the city continues to be a driving force in the genre today.”

The FREE concerts will be held on the third Tuesday of every month from March through July at the Detroit Public Library, Friends Auditorium located at 5201 Woodward Ave. Detroit, MI 48202.

The series ends on Tuesday, July 16th with Sin Hielo at 6pm.

Sin Hielo is a musical project that starts with guitar giants Wayne Gerard & Sean Blackman - and often includes other accomplished guest artists -and tours the nation. The band is based in Detroit, and has created a new sound of Latin/jazz/rock.

Blackman is a powerful, acoustic nylon-string world music guitarist. Gerard is an electric guitarist jazz virtuoso. The third musician, Rick Beamon, who plays jaw-dropping percussion, is known as one of the best in the business.

Blackman and Gerard, who head Sin Hielo, are individually successful, established, award-winning artists.

In 2011, the two talents came together and formed Sin Hielo - a unique, exciting Latin/rock/jazz project that quickly caught fire; performing up to a dozen shows a week in just Detroit alone. The band's Spanish name represents both the new hot sound its has created and the sexy clientele that has jumped on the band's touring party vardo.

Pepto has 5 tips to make your summer grilling a success....

Disclosure: I received a complementary Pepto Summer Party Kit as a thank you for sharing the following information with my readers. With an 13 year old son that eats lots of junk food, the Pepto will come in handy.

Has your summer BBQ resulted in potato salad overload? Did you consume a couple of hot dogs that you’d prefer not to count? If summer celebrations leave you feeling less party-animal and more party-pooper, Pepto’s got you covered!

For the millions of Americans who love to celebrate the rise in temperature with food and festivities, Pepto-Bismol is here to get the party started with the following summer grilling tips...

1. Enlist your musician friends to set up a garage band at your party.

2. Recruit a neighborhood cook-off. You don’t have to cook everything!

3. Set up the badminton net; it entertains the kids by day and adults by night.

4. Do your guests a favor; surround the buffet area with citronella candles.

5. Keep the Pepto-Bismol on hand in case those extra wings did you over.
