Check Out Our Friend, John Musto…he’s supplying us with some seasonal favorites!
Hello Wifflers,
It’s that time of the year again. When the sweet aroma of baseball begins to hit our senses and remind us of what true sport is all about. I am sure you guys have big plans for the wiffle and baseball seasons. I must say I am personally excited for the season to start, I think this is the year my Cubbies finally break through. Even if that is not the case, I am sure this will be another exciting season.
As you know, I recently started my cooking blog http://www.gustodelmondo.blogspot.com and it has been a blast since inception. Tonight I decided I would cook a couple of good baseball season appetizers, because we all know baseball and wiffle ball are not the same without the foods that accompany them. I included two recipes below and hope that you guys can take what I have written down and enjoy the food, the season and most of all the beautiful sport that we all know and love, baseball.
Have a great season and best of luck.
Sincerely yours,
John J Musto
