meanwhile, in the box this week

[pantryslut]

* Many large tomatoes! I think it's time for a round of tomato and cheddar sandwiches. And tomatoes on toast. And tomato and mozzarella salad. And...

* Summer squash. These days, it seems all I ever do with it is sauteed with bay leaves (yum!), or sometimes grilled, but if the weather gets/stays cool, I might try a baked squash and rice and cheese thing.

* Green beans. I ate them up yesterday in a stir-fry with garlic, fish sauce, and pork.

* Cucumbers. One Armenian, one regular. Probably destined for a stir-fry.

* More carrots. eek!

* Watermelon. I now have two on the counter.

* Another melon of the cantaloupe family.

* Peaches.

(The first thing I miss up here is fresh foods. Toilets are a close second, and real showers third, but being without any fresh foods is frustrating.)

my favorite season of the year, hands down.

I just made an enormous, feed-you-for-a-lifetime, supply of gazpacho.

And in 10 days I'll go visit my parents, whose garden will be full of home-grown tomatoes. Mmm.

Re: the Armenian cucumber, it reminded me of this (http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/005230cucumber_salad_with_mint_and_feta.php) Cucumber Salad recipe from Simply Recipes. I don't know that we get Armenian or Japanese cucumbers around here, but I may try it with regular cucumbers anyway.
