tasty morsels and pretty pixels

2 more Chez Panisse Vegetables recipes checked off the list today:  Stuffed Squash Blossom Sauté (yay, we’re no longer squash blossom virgins!) and Summer Squash and Corn Pasta (a real wow, I totally recommend it! and a great recipe to use a green butternut squash picked last week by lucky accident.)  A delicious ending to a perfect summer day.  Visual evidence of the day’s perfection (taken with my due-for-an-upgrade Nikon D70 & a 60mm micro lens) below.

zucchini fritters a-la alice watersThe torrential storm arrived almost simultaneously with Richard and Fran who were stopping by to see us for lunch on their way from Boston to NYC.  Thanks to said lunch, I now have photos of the chilled cucumber, mint and yogurt soup (on the left) and I also tried my first Alice Waters’ zucchini recipe from Chez Panisse Vegetables — the zucchini fritters (on the right).

I diverged a little from Chez Panisse recipe.  I definitely used more than a pound of grated zucchini, and the zest of only 1 lemon (instead of FOUR),  . . . CONTINUE READING → lunch update
