Papaya and Shrimp
There were more than 200 photos on my camera today and it took about 40 minutes to download them all.
The photo above is the papaya I bought during a heat spell. Now that is food porn! The photo below is how I served it: With cucumbers, cooked shrimp, green onions and a ready-made fig-curry dressing.
I grow herbs in pots on our deck, which faces the west and gets plenty of sun. It's easy to step outside and snip fresh herbs for whatever salad I am preparing. Potato salad is like chicken, a blank canvas that gets its personality from whatever you make it with, as long as you include potatoes. I have made potato salad with capers, bacon, ham, shrimp, radishes and - always - cucumbers.Last night we ate out, celebrating the difficult installation of a new window in our laundry room/potting shed area. We both had tenderloin. It was heavenly. What a way to end summer!

Yes, the years have zipped by. Our two biggest events of the year are over now, and we have an average of one a month now, instead of five or six over the course of eight weeks. That was a killer.
Happy Labor Day,

I missed the whole weekend - lying in bed with the flu instead of out playing and having fun. Getting better now, though.
