I am often gun shy about buying produce at TJ's, but the "donut nectarines" are juicy and flavorful. The plastic clamshell holds each fruit (pkg of 4) to prevent bruising. Not a great value at $3.99 for the package of 4, but fun for a change of pace.

I bought Zahav hummus for the first time, it was on sale (they stock it at a local WF, since it is in the Philadelphia area). I'm sure it's better when you get it fresh at the restaurant, it wasn't "exceptional" as a prepared product, but certainly better than the mass produced brands. I'm able to get some excellent ones that are made in Brooklyn (Sonny & Joe's is one good brand), and homemade (with good ingredients) is best when you can do it!

@liuzhou, with having a hard shell, do these last for a while when kept refrigerated?

I’m with you, especially when having it with fruit. I had mine today with peaches, sliced toasted almonds, and honey.

Whole Foods annual ice cream sale 7/2-7/8, 50% off for Prime members.

Frozen grapes, for sure, but I had frozen some slices of nectarines to use them for…something…and found myself enjoying them still frozen.

Had a bowl of (planned) leftovers from last nights dinner that I ate cold: grilled salmon with ginger chutney glaze, grape tomatoes, "supergrain" blend with some Asian-ish dressing to moisten it. Nice on a 100 degree day, staying in the airconditioned office all day.

@gfweb, from what I've read, she probably was. I liked how a lot of the "tributes" didn't sugar coat and I got the impression she butted heads with people at times, but her friends always knew where they stood.

Both educational and entertaining, I really enjoyed the overviews

Chopped salad (cuke, cherry tomato, orange bell pepper, pickled red onion) with cottage cheese. Very refreshing!

Chopped salad-radicchio, cuke, tomato, oil packed tuna w/sundried tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette.

@liuzhou, do the snails have different tastes depending on where they were harvested? Having only had them drowned in garlic butter, I can't say I recall what they tasted like...

Canned fish or jarred tuna is always in my pantry for when I just can't be bothered. MIght put it on a plate, might not. TBH, I do have stretches of disinterest in eating and out of concern for getting "some" protein intake, at least, those cans/jars along with Greek yogurt are pantry staples. Now that it is grilling season, I'll be better at having a supply of grilled veg and chicken on hand to throw together.

That's the strategy, I have a couple of men in my office who will hoover up ANYTHING left in the kitchen area!

Agreed, the flavors have potential as a combination, but more than likely the whole thing will be overly sweet. Don't think I want to risk buying a whole bag/package. But they would probably work repurposed as rum balls...
