Late summer in NJ and tomatoes are at their peak...

leftover corn salad with some crumbled feta

@Smithy, please post (if you remember) when you try the beef birria and chicken mole. I need to find easy to reheat proteins for DH, who is most comfortable using the microwave when I'm not home.

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.

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...
