Hi Blaze Babes. Again I’m traveling this month, boy is life rough. I’ll be in Maine at our oceanside summer house, which doesn’t even have electricity let alone Internet access. Talk about a blissful escape, especially from this horrible heat and humidity.

Next month, however, I will be here and eager to chat!

I turned in the second Blaze of an online-dating trilogy due next year, and have a brief rest from back-to-back deadlines before diving into number three. I do get a little antsy when I’m not writing, but life has been busy and that helps. I’ll be taking paper and pen (remember those?) to Maine so I can brainstorm for the next book, sitting in the sun on the rocks, feeling the breeze, smelling the firs and hearing the gulls calling. Ahhhhh.

Okay, back to earth. For our outdoor meal a salad would be the perfect compliment to the tart. I tried the following for the first time two days ago and can’t wait to pass it along. It was absolutely delicious, easy, and beautifully summery. The recipe calls for broiling the corn, but if you wanted to toast it in a pan or, for even better flavor, grill it, I think that would work nicely. The combination of flavors and textures is superb and the dressing is so good I’ll be using it on other salads, too.

So here we go to epicurious.com:

Arugula, Tomato and Corn Salad.

Have a wonderful August! Hard to believe fall is around the corner.

Cheers,

Isabel
