Trip to Bountiful.

Summer, en Francais. 

Yeah, I know it’s Thursday afternoon. I know it’s hot. But what the hell? It’s always a good time for buttermilk pancakes. 

Fried chicken sandwiches are all the rage these days. I had a delicious one at Allswell, a lovely spot in a tragically hip Brooklyn neighborhood a few weeks back.

Serious Eats shows us how to make ’em at home.

More tomato love.

I don’t have anything against Mayonnaise but it never occurred to me to put it on a simple tomato sandwich. But that’s how they roll down South so last weekend I gave it a try after picking up some nice, rip tomatoes from a local farmer’s market. And you know what? Southerners know what they’re doing.

Over at Garden & Gun, Jed Portman explains why Duke’s matters. 

To Stay or  To Go. 

Interesting…

Pop.

Fun-looking peach and plum salad from Saveur.

David Lebovitz gives pickled strawberry preserves. I’d try it, sure.

Smitten Kitchen delivers green beans with almond pesto. 

Food 52 gives Spicy, Savory & Sweet Watermelon Rind Pickles.

Alexandra gives Whole Peach Bellini. Bottom’s up.

Deep. 

Flourishing Foodie gives triple berry crumble on the grill. Why the hell now?

Alexandra gives Blueberry Cobbler.  Diggum, smack.

Good Lord, yes.

Alexandra gives new potatoes with green harissa. 

Bout that time of year again, ain’t it?
