What Are You Eating?

[Brute]

It's hot af right now - OK, "Alaska Hot", or 73° - so I'm chillin' on the upper back deck in the shade with a summer wine¹
and one of them fancy SharkCoochie plates².View attachment 161532
1 - 6oz cheap Spanish red, juice of half a lemon, and a 12oz can of lemon-lime sparkling water, over ice in a big-ass yeti tumbler.

2 - carrots, celery, bitchin' dill pickles, castelvetrano olives, feta cheese, all topped with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pile of flatleaf.

Sangria…by the pitcher…

Easy Costco meal.

A salade niscoise reimagined…Layered in the center, sunflower sprouts, shaved radish, shaved fennel, smoked mackerel, capers & fennel fronds…potato confit, quail eggs, blanched asparagus tips, tomatoes, artichoke hearts & olives…

I think this would have been really good with fresh albacore seared...anyone know anybody with fresh albacore?

fresh galas, not so delicious but better than cold storage

Yours?

Yours?

Sadly no, just a clients, out of 8,000 acres I consult on, only ~1800 owned by locals anymore, this bins out of an “investment farm” NY or NJ money, sad state of affairs that Grant and many fruit producing counties in Washington are entangled in. LLC might be registered to Yakima/Quincy, but that ain’t where the money is coming from

I await Peach-O-Rama every year. These may look like ordinary peaches but I assure you they are not. Get yerself to the nearest Met Market!

Looks GREAT!

In the gardening thread you brought up a sandwich with your tomatoes and basil. Last week we were in SoCal and scored some basil and tomatoes at the Farmers Market (Torrance). Our daughter fixed us sandwiches using toast Ciabatta (TJ's), drizzeled some EVOO on the toasted bread, slice and spread a generous amount Buratta (TJ's), tomato slices, basil (lots of it) with well aged prosciutto and fresh ground black pepper. HOLY SMOKES! Try it, you'll love it.

Starting some baby back ribs on the grill. Should be ready by dinner time. It is impossible to get a low temperature on my Weber Genesis grill, I wish it had a 'low and slow' burner.

My son made a load of pizza…so good and as a Pagliacci worker he knows his way around making a great pie. Ooni is the way to go.
