Joan, I wish that rain would come up the coast. There was a storm the other night and we could hear the thunder, but the rain only fell on the south part of the island.

I made tuna salad to go with the leftover kale salad I made yesterday. The kale salad is really good. It was in an email from Southern Living - chopped kale, toasted panko, grated hard boiled egg, a faux Caesar dressing and Parmesan. I used cheddar as my Parmesan had gone by - it’s a salad I will definitely make again.

Edit: the kale salad tastes better tonight - I would probably make more dressing. I meant to add that the recipe calls for curly kale, but I prefer Lacinato (dinosaur) kale

We started today with heat and humidity, then some rain arrived in the late afternoon. We are having some thunder with it now.

We had leftovers, but I roasted more potatoes with Penzey's Sunny Paris to go with them.

Lucky you, Mike, with all the eggplant.

There was actually a nice breeze this afternoon - I almost opened my doors.

I was inspired by a recipe in an email to make a peanut noodle salad. I ended up doing a mashup of 2 different recipes - it came out well - I can eat for the next several days. The recipe called for crispy Halloumi which I thought sounded great, but 8 ounces was $14 at Harris Teeter! I didn’t want it that much - ½ pound of tenderloin would have cost less

I made a stir fry with some shrimp, left over steak, broccoli, carrot, kale and asparagus. Seasoned it with grated ginger, sesame seed oil and soy sauce. I could have put more kale in there but it was picture perfect.

Do you have any leftovers, Len? I'll be there in a minute!
