Summer corn and tomato salad: Another option for corn

Experiments - 9 months ago - kira

Nothing really replaces plain corn on the cob, but sometimes, at the height of sweet corn season, you feel like there might be a way to shake things up just a little. Eric likes cutting the corn off the cob, so we came up with this salad of farmer’s market produce.

For two servings of this salad, mix:

1 cob of corn, boiled lightly for 2-3 mins and sliced off the cob

a handful of heirloom grape tomatoes, sliced in half

half a green onion, sliced

2-3 leaves basil, chopped

a splash of olive oil

a smaller splash of red wine vinegar

salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

No-knead bread French toast

Brunch - 9 months ago - kira

With a brief break between heat waves, baking bread has once again become a reasonable endeavor.

But wouldn’t it be even better to combine fresh-baked bread with summer goodies from the farmer’s market? And wouldn’t it be the best to do it for brunch?
