Summer in Miami brings rain, thunder, heat, humidity and inevitably mud. Put those elements together and you have a great venue for two things. 1) Boogie Boarding in the flooded streets, perhaps towed by a neighbor on a bike or 2), making fresh mud pies in a palm frond hut. I highly recommend trying both this summer. (Amateurs, trust me its not the same without the hut.) Mud pies are the epitome of simple summer treats and the only real necessity is a relatively pie shaped vessel. The rest is up to you, some like a little grass and leaves I think pinworms add a pleasant touch to a fresh packed pie. As far as the effects of pinworms, an itchy hole (not your pie hole) is the only one I know of and frankly, it’s worth it. Some cultures believe mud pies are actually a potent aphrodisiac. If you ask me, that’s just dirty. But give it a try. What the hell it’s 93 but feels like 102 degrees outside what do you have to lose? Breeding ground for people and pinworms alike.
