Not shy with the olive oil. Yum.
DITTO. I do still watch Seinfeld almost daily…

Ah, poor you! I have gotten these forever and I have had most success with switching my toothpaste and when I get a bad one using a product called Canker Cover. It can be clunky depending on where in your mouth it is, but it totally works for me.
Actually just watched the big salad episode

That sounds so good! I am curious about where collards are being harvested in July.
I love Bajan style hot sauce. Are you saying the hot sauce has cucumber in it, or it was served with cucumbers? (Emphasis on the CUM according to husband. But he’s Jamaican, and not Bajun).
It’s my first! Hopefully last. I do have a toothpaste with no SLS I can try.
I was just at the dentist and asked her recommendations because the kiddo got one this week too. She recommended (ONLY if she is good about spitting) a 50/50 blend of kaopectate and liquid benadryl. I haven’t tried it myself.
I’m in New Jersey. The grocery stores around here have collards all year long but I have no idea where they come from. The CSA bunch was definitely grown locally. The bunch itself was small both in number of stalks as well the leaf size.
The sauce has cucumbers in it but I bet it would be good on them as well. I think the cucumbers take the edge off of the heat. We brought a bunch of sauces home when we were in Barbados in February.

Was shaking that on fish cakes, eggs etc when last in Barbados. Have not seen it locally
I’m a sucker for hot sauces. We brought a bunch of different ones home with us so I haven’t had to look for any yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll stumble across is somewhere.
Wow! The second ingredient! I’ve been experimenting with recipes for years, and I’ve ever noticed that!
Wow - if you figure it out let me know then I won’t have to search! Good Luck!
Leftover soup and curry - no pic as nothing new. Normal food tomorrow!

Mrs. P made a very refreshing watermelon salad with feta, mascarpone, pistachios, pickled red onions, arugula, fresh homegrown mint, in a balsamic reduction. It was an excellent start to a crab fest featuring Dungeness crab and Alaskan king crab claws. We had TJ’s sweet potato fries on the side. It all went great with a nice red blend aged in rum barrels.

Dinner at my sister’s and BIL’s house after antiquing with Sis for her birthday in Acushnet, MA. It was a place we hadn’t been to, and it was worth the trip. I got her a wicked creepy English garden gnome hiding behind a mushroom for her birthday (hey, she wanted it!)
and I got myself a copper hammered/pressed ladle, both for short money.
No pics of dinner, but dinner was ginger-lime grilled chicken, honey-garlic grilled shrimp and my Thai pasta salad with veggies.
Dessert was cupcakes and lobster tails/sfogliatelle from Guarino’s Pastry Shop in Norwood, MA. These were the BEST damn lobster tails I’ve ever had. Flaky, with a perfect, not-too-sweet filling. Pic is from their website.
I’m full. And I got some hugs from Sis and BIL.

Joyeuse fête nationale, a little late!
Bean salad tonight, with RG Marcella beans, slivered Spanish chorizo, quick sauteed chopped garlic, celery & carrots, spring onion, lovely bright yellow zucchini, even lovelier purple cauli (slightly steamed), and cherry toms i got from the FM, with a smoked paprika/sherry vinegar dressing. Pan con tomate on the side, with crumbled manchego. everything was good, but the pan con tomate - swoony, every time.
