Here I go again.... It's one of those perfect seasonal moments where worlds collide and culinary possibilities seem endless. All at once we not only have literal tons of tomatoes, piles of peppers, summer sweet corn and endless eggplant, but also pears, apples, figs, and other flavors some may associate strictly with fall. Fall may be just around the corner, but now is the time when nearly everything seems at hand.
.
Serve up some pizzas: one with pears, red onion and blue cheese and one with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Greens are finally showing themselves again as well so toss together a salad. Make a quick fresh tomato and pesto pasta, or some chilled butternut squash and pear soup. How about some scalloped potatoes and chicken with plum sauce. Perhaps some fresh peach pie for dessert!
Have fun and enjoy... this is the time!
