Greetings to all. I’m writing this the night before I start our August vacation. I won’t be able to get online on the 15th because we’ll be at our house in Maine which has no electricity. It is so great to get away from it all and relax without TV, computers, phones, anything. Life slows down, we talk to each other, we play games, we spent as much time as possible outdoors. Blissful. Not that we really rough it, gas refrigerator, gas water heater, gas lights, etc. All the comforts of home, but no ads, no spam, nothing. Ahhh. Like going back in time.

As for our recipe this month, so far our hero and heroine have had meat for their main course but not much else. I’d like to share a salad recipe from Food and Wine. The dressing is the best part, so feel free to switch ingredients in and out. I’ve made it with diced red pepper when pomegranates were out of season, or in winter when I was too cheap to spring for fresh herbs, I’ve left half of them out, I’ve also made it with whatever lettuce I had on hand. But if you can try it as written, do, at least once. It’s fabulous.

Next month, dessert!

Enjoy your summer until then.

Cheers,
