We had curry chicken salad and deviled eggs for dinner. Total nom. The heat of the day is gone and it is so nice eating on the back porch, enjoying a glass of wine, and just relaxing.

If only caprese did not involve tomatoes.

Inorite?

I don't much love raw tomatoes, but really fresh ripe tomatoes just off the vine are pretty great.

My panzanella came out really tasty and I shouldn't drink any more wine.

I am so close to defaulting on this damned story. Argh.

I mean, I have no trouble just eating mozzarella and basil, but that seems kind of gluttonous, whereas caprese salad seems breezy and healthy and so continental.

My neighbor doesn't like tomatoes either and was on a mission to create a tomatoless Bloody Mary. She liked the result with a cuke, red pepper and celery veg combo.

I've been eating tons of tiny strawberry tomato, cuke and feta salad with champagne dressing. I will note there is such thing as too much, but your mouth won't tell you that.

Because of the heat, I didn't do much of the cleaning I meant to do, but I did register for a 5K in October with -t! There is wine and a groupon involved, but still.

That will be very fun! Eta: and I should put it on my calendar right now because I have already forgotten when we are doing that...

I am actually okay with tomato juice (given enough spices) and sauces. Maybe cold tomato soup with mozzarella balls and basil would do for me? Today I have none of those things, of course.

Hahahahaha the other 5k I'm already signed up for that I thought was in September is also in October. Not the same weekend, though, I'm sure it'll be fine. Also in San Jose, oddly enough.

I'm watching Jon Stewart's last episode. After this, I should do something productive that doesn't involve moving since it's 84 in my apartment. Paying bills it is.

I finally watched that today, too! And mostly it made me miss Colbert. I wonder if I'll actually watch his show? I haven't watched a network late-night show in years, beyond clips online.
