beans

At least the beans are surviving in this dreadful heatwave...
(unfortunately so are the weeds - thriving, actually - but that's a whole 'nother story)

at the moment...

... pink hydrangea is blooming away,the fennel is taking off,and the last of the radishes are in the fridge.

A Fennel and Radish Salad
Thinly slice one fresh bulb of fennel and one giant purple radish (or a few smaller radishes of your choosing), and toss the slices together in a bowl with a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season it all with salt and pepper and a few feathery shavings of parmesan.

Vacation was amazing - going through the photos now...

muddling through

Hmmmm. Too hot for words 'round here. We're talking triple digits and wheezing window units. I'm thinking pizza. With some of the first zucchini, mint and pecorino, maybe. On the grill. Just to avoid turning on the oven.
Of course, there's a bit of this salad leftover from yesterday too.
Some how we'll muddle through...
I might even snap a photo or two again.
