this grilled peaches thing is too good. so far i did a grilled red onion, grilled corn and grilled peach salad – all of it with the black grill marks and olive oil, salt and pepper AND today i did a grilled peach thing with toasted almonds, creme fraiche and drizzled honey…

it’s not just cities where strange folks wave and holler at traffic. it’s just in the country t hey wave and holler at passing cows.

You can do interesting things with melon. I use it in soup, usually chilled soup but it can work in a warm soup too. The sweetness makes it work with spicy ingredients. I also like it in non-fruit salad, with thyme or mild, lemony herbs.

I have a thing about contrasts. Salt with sweets, and hot with cold. Really cold cottage cheese is the best with steaming hot veggies alongside it.

I like experimenting with lavendar. We had a roasted chicken with lavendar and greens that was really nice. It seems to pair well with rosemary too, but they’re both really strong. They kind of balance each other out. I’ve done lots of baking with it, but I’m getting into the savory uses for it and the possibilities seem endless.

Claire — pepper and chocolate? You mean chili pepper, or are you talking black pepper? Because that’s a new one on me — but I’ll give it a try if you say it’s good.

CarneKitchen — really? That’s just wrong…

I like to finish zucchini soup with Ouzo. Drizzled on top it gives a good licorice flavor.

Oh, your poor girl!!! I can’t imagine pepper in coffee – blech! Luckily, I drink mine black, so I doubt that this incident will ever happen to me.

I agree with you about how flavors just work sometimes. I’m a huge salt & chocolate fan, as well as pepper & chocolate. Hmmm…I’m sensing a trend there. Anyway, I might have to try your latest recipe…
