Cooking
Catalogs arrive bearing goodies for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. School's started already (here, anyway). I'm seeing recipes for hot soups & comforting casseroles.
The heck with that. Last I checked, it was still summer.
We're experiencing the nicest weather we've had this year. Mid-eighties, low to no humidity. Sunny, cooling breezes. And people keep giving us tomatoes...
The only thing to do: Caprese for dinner. Gorgeous farm- and garden-fresh tomatoes, lovely mozzarella, and pungent basil. Just perfect.
We're kicking off our fourth year of Blog Party by taking a look back at some of our favorite first-year themes. This month, we're revisiting a BP favorite, Retro Party!
We're doing a bit of time-travel, and bringing back some of the weird and wonderful dishes & drinks from the 20's through the late sixties. You won't want to miss it! R.S.V.P. no later than Thursday, 21 August. Hope to see you there!

- Someone's In The Kitchen With Alex: Tortellini With Sun-dried Tomatoes

- Breakfast...or Dessert?
When I got my first look at King Arthur Flour's new recipe site, I found I'd lost at least an hour. I mean, there I was, at one time, and suddenly, it's an hour later and I was extremely hungry. Too many recipes bookmarked, and a realization...
- Everyone Wins
Be sure to stop in at your local Dairy Queen today. It's hot out there. So set aside some time, and get yourself a Blizzard. Or two. Because today only, all proceeds from the sale of Blizzards go to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. So grab yourself some...
- Scrambled Eggs With Smoked Salmon & Avocado
From Williams-Sonoma Breakfast. There really isn't much to say, is there? Gorgeous, and according to Matt, delicious. Served with crunchy latkes & orange juice, it made for a good, albeit late, dinner. We're kicking off our fourth year of...
- Tea, Take Two
This whole 'tea for dinner' thing is kind of taking off around here. Lots of lovely little bites, endless cups of tea. It's rather perfect, actually. Makes you sit and relax, whether you want to or not! Most recently, there were lots...
