Today was a Meera Sodha bake from the Guardian - spiced tomatoes, chickpeas and eggplant.
After I doctored it with some harissa, baharat and allspice and gave it extra baking time it was very tasty. Accompanied with creamy feta dressed with olive oil and fresh mint, as well as a chopped salad of tomatoes, cukes, onion and parsley.

I spent the day hauling off Brown Turkey fig tree branches so I needed an easy dinner. Three bowls it was. Bowl one, chicken, pinto bean, hatch chile chili from the freezer, with queso fresco and green onion. Bowl two, cotc, butter, sazon and cilantro. Bowl three mixed greens, tomatoes from the garden, red onion,. avocado, ranch dressing. Bonus bowl, Desert King figs, yogurt, date syrup.There were several orange palomas. As I’m sitting here typing I’m having a glass of Lambrusco. I see it is National red wine day.

Homemade peach frozen yogurt
I start a new job tomorrow and just enjoyed 3+ weeks off, so this very much felt like the last day of summer for me. Bittersweet.

We enjoyed another sensational dinner at The Circle restaurant in Fredon, NJ, including gnocchi with crispy charred corn, corn chipotle puree, smoked cotija cheese and sambal; outstanding foie gras pb&j with black sesame butter, nectarine jelly, cointreau, on a toasted brioche; hanger steak with caraflex cabbage, crispy confit potato, Thai basil and cherry mustard; halibut with smoked miso broth, chanterelle, pickled ginger, and guajillo chili; burrata with spring pea. For dessert we enjoyed a flourless chocolate cake with hazelnut ice cream. It all went great with an excellent Syrah and cabernet.

Made Nora Ephron’s Linguine alla cecca tonight - linguine in a raw tomato sauce with crushed garlic, basil, RPF, salt & olive oil. Incredibly light and fresh tasting - we wolfed it down. need to make it at least one more time before summer tomatoes are gone. Also, a few blistered shishitos on the side, from my sister’s client’s garden.

Sometimes (not often) I do everything right.
Soft shell crab with lazy remoulade, charred corn and poblano salsa.

Good to see you! I like your tweaks to that recipe.
Real nice
I prefer uncooked tomato sauce. Super. Light and fresh.
Tonight I made smoked tomato gazpacho (Andres’ recipe but with smoked homegrown ‘maters), heated up leftover savory foraged mushroom cheesecake made by my DH, and made David Tanis’ fresh (garden) tomato pasta with ricotta.
I picked a bunch of the neighbor’s figs (with permission this time), so jam is in our future.

Can I ask for deets on how you are smoking your tomatoes?
Perfect finale for summer!

Last night’s dinner was mini Thanksgiving… not all of the usual dishes, but more than enough to feed hungry girlfriend.
