And I usually wing it too once I see what's at the markets. <br /><br />I think you would melt down here in Miami in the summer, Eggy, one tends to have perma drip down one's back each day....I almost got heat exhaustion at the garden yesterday...no hat and the hottest day here yet, I had forgotten to take the extra precaution as it had not been an issue until now!<br /><br />I hope you poured yourself a cool ice tea and put your feet up after the salad! xoLaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-79781089709857644022012-06-09T16:53:10.129-04:002012-06-09T16:53:10.129-04:00Everything looks wonderful and I am sure was quite...Everything looks wonderful and I am sure was quite tasty!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614391502032930541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-22807504008503106482012-06-05T15:29:03.971-04:002012-06-05T15:29:03.971-04:00oh ho!

I'se in Spain, they eat at midnight thirty. Thas' too late fer mah tired ole carcass. So I simply has a "bocadillio" afore headedin' up to bed. jes' to set the stage, lemme say I'se in a monastery hotel--place whar' lots o' pilgrims find a bed in the hostal--12 beds to a room--tho Aunty be beyond such, an' mah room is in the sleek modern hospitality buillding...geraniums on the balcony, wifi, monogrammed sheets wif' state of the art bathroom, includin' an extry accessory I use fer hand laundry but they call a bidet. Anyhoo....<br /><br />I take mahself to the tapas wine bar in the cobbled plaza across the way. I chose a Tosta Tipico:<br />thick slice o' peasant grain bread grilled and spread wif' Cabrales bleu cheese an' topped wif warm caramelized onions. Mamacita!!<br /><br />A memorable "little something" afore bed that I'se sure to try when I gits back to mah own hearth.<br /><br />I know--ity ain't salat, but it t'was GOOD!<br /><br />As always, your food photos make mah mouth water.<br /><br />Aunty--unsigned in...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-51839484794308513712012-06-04T23:20:57.198-04:002012-06-04T23:20:57.198-04:00Runny eggs o top of a salad is the best.I love it ...Runny eggs o top of a salad is the best.I love it for my Sunday Brunch.

I had a chance to check out the Covington farmer's market when I did the Know Your Farmer bike ride a couple weeks ago, they had some nice offerings. I'm sure the Napolean Ridge cheese brat was a zillion times better than the cheese-filled Oscar Meyer hot dogs I had as a child:)Katie D.http://tasteandseecincy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316997354640264566.post-4378360372805650562012-06-01T13:05:37.694-04:002012-06-01T13:05:37.694-04:00I know how you feel.

Simple enough and I like the strawberries with sausage. <br /><br />I think iif you made toasted foccacia croutons, that would have made it nice and crunchy. <br /><br />I'm probably still about 2 weeks away from getting my kitchen back, so I hope to be in the next challenge, assuming it's at the end of June.
