fruit in unexpected places


I love fruit. I especially love it when fruit turns up in places it wouldn't normally be. For example, a few weeks ago I had the most amazing salad-- with grilled peaches. It sounds weird, but it was SO GOOD. It was so tasty because of the surprise factor, I think. I mean, who grills peaches? The taste of the grill, a little bit of oil and a little bit of that burned flavor, was perfect with the sweet, soft, juicy peaches.

So, I've taken to putting fruit in unexpected meals when I cook for myself. Yesterday, I had a delicious sandwich: ciabatta bread (er, sorry if that's misspelled), avocado, spinach, summer squash, and raspberries. It was perfect.

Just discovered your blog.

What fun!

I spend a lot of time analyzing food when I'm out in restaurants.

I try to figure out how to make the stuff I like myself.

I like food a lot.

But I'm not into putting so much work into my meals.

It's a conflict.
