Summer Dinner

Corn Dog

Pan-fried eggplant layered with basil leaves, roasted peppers,

grape tomatoes, and oyster sauce.  All of the vegetables this

evening were grown within five miles of my house.

Seems like food always tastes better in the summer.

Grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, sliced shallots,

basil chiffonade, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.

Jersey sweet corn. Boil a ton of fairly heavily salted water, drop the

corn in, turn the heat off, and let sit covered for 10 minutes. 

Done. Place the cobs on a large platter and wrap with a cloth.

Good enough on its own, but the author needs to have it with

melted butter, brushed on, and either Old Bay, celery salt,

or good old salt and cracked black pepper.

Top Round London Broil, marinated in Worcestershire, Soy, Ketchup,

Honey, Garlic, and Ginger.  There will be enough for my wife's lunch

tomorrow, and snacks and dinner for a couple more days.  Rarely do

we not have leftovers, and never do we waste anything.
