  1. Did a bunch of grilled veg (I had salmon fillet brushed with hoisin, DH had a strip steak). Corn salad for tomorrow’s dinner, leftovers of the grilled eggplant/zucchini/red bell pepper/red onion warm salad that I make a lot over the summer.

  2. There is an ice cream shop not too far from my house that has a nice variety of flavors (homemade) and I enjoy ube flavor. As a child, I always preferred vanilla over chocolate ice cream, ube kind of leans towards vanilla. And what a beautiful color!

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

    low-fat cottage cheese ( no added salt - why not add your own ? )

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

  6. 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.

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

  8. 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.

    I agree they are probably overly sweet.  When I had a day job, I’d buy a package of these flavors, taste one and leave the rest in the break room.  Easy peasy.  I could probably use a few in a cookies & cream ice cream but would have no use for the rest. 

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

  10. 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...
