Thought of Catherine W. while I cut up two of the (very few) reasons that I enjoy summer…made some cucumber/tomato salad tonight. Little bit of cider vinegar, some sea salt, and fresh cracked Tellicherry black pepper. Note: This is a locally grown cucumber from a friend’s garden, and I got two of them – both huge honkers…at least 2 lbs and over a foot long, each.
What’s your typical breakfast? My mom loves to have a slice of turkey breast on toast for her breakfast, usually. Not always, but it’s her go-to breakfast. I’ve been doing that for awhile, on some sprouted grain toast. Sometimes I will have avocado instead of turkey. Today I decided to add a bit of horseradish mustard and fresh spinach leaves to my sandwich “thin,” enjoyed some cottage cheese on the side. And yay, plums are back!
Bought a 2 lb. smoked turkey breast when it went on sale, shaved it with my mandolin and sealed up 4 packages of sliced meat for sandwiches…into the freezer they went. About $11 for the breast meat, whereas I pay about $10 per lb of shaved smoked turkey from the deli counter.
Salad for dinner tonight…not pictured: purple onion, sliced strawberries, toasted pecans
Luscious leftover sausage veggie brunch bake…
Fingerling potatoes roasted with garlic and rosemary (purple Pelisse, red thumb and Laratte).
