What to drink with a summer dinner when you don't want alcohol. No red, pink or white wine. No beer. Just something cold and refreshing with a lot of good, interesting flavor. Something you sip slowly. A great pairing with fish or shellfish. Or veal or chicken. Even hot dogs. Cheers!

Potato Pesto Pizza

July 7, 2022

Not traditional. But it should be. Gooey mozzarella. Garlicky basil pesto. And very, very thin slices of potato on their way to chips. A simple, satisfying and totally delicious pizza for $2. Not for a slice. For the whole pizza.

The Rainbow Chard Blues. Again.

Grill that watermelon

June 30, 2022

It's time for watermelon. It's time for grilling. It must be time for a grilled watermelon salad. Or two. Looks beautiful. Delicious. Almost nothing to it. Next to no time to prepare. Next to no calories. Hot and juicy.
