Sacramento’s fabulous Corti Brothers Gourmet grocery store posted this photo yesterday to announce “The First of the Season heirloom tomatoes are here!”
Beautiful images and recipes. As to Sercial, according to Wiki : “After phylloxera devastated Madeira's vineyards, the grape became more common on the mainland, where it is known as Esgana or Esgana Cão, meaning respectively Strangler or Dog Strangler.” !
These all sound magical, especially since it is now high summer and I am in bed recovering from covid. My Texan Mother's coleslaw was the most delicious and none of us ever wrote down the recipe so we are left to endless experimenting...
A question, for the pasta I assume it is 12 ounces?
Love, love, love. All the summer foods here. But I will say, my mom (not happy about cooking in the 60's) used to make a coleslaw I couldn't swallow. It was cloyingly sweet with veggie chopped and sold in a bag. So they were a bit dehydrated when she put the business together. Tough and what I will call, icky sweet. Nothing to look forward to. But she loved it. I have tinkered with coleslaw trying to find the recipe for me and here we are - not unlike the trick to your macaroni and cheese, the bath in water sounds like it will make for happy slaw! I'm making your cole slaw tomorrow! Will report back.
I was the kid in junior high who had a tomato in my lunch with a little baggie of salt. I would eat it like my friends ate apples and I didn't care much if the boys thought it was weird. It was wonderful. There's a benefit to being raised by a girl who grew up in the midwest and loved fresh tomatoes from her own plants! Now, I need to think about some tomatoes and cucumbers for salad too!
As you might think, I'm quite inspired to take on some summer dining.
As I am inspired by your comments and reply. Wonderful, thank you, and how did the coleslaw turn out?
Tahnjk you, and this week all about "faites simple."
Dog Strangler indeed. Only from an inferior and too young Sercial.
Love your recipes, simple but delicious ingredients.

Wonderful recipes with the out of this world red tones from those tomatoes and raspberries. Simple magic from the Wizard!
Thank you Angela. Always the wizard of appreciation.

Thank you
Yes, of course, and how careless of me. Thank you.
Thank you for your reply, just for a second I thought of counting out 12 strands of spaghetti!!
Too much work!
