It's been a hot and muggy week here, and the cool rain this morning was a blessing. As much as I wanted to stay curled up under the covers, I got up to teach my 10 am Slow Flow yoga class. I've been teaching on Saturday mornings for a few weeks now, and I've been loving it. It truly was a "Slow Flow" kind of day. I actually felt a little chill in the air. Fall is coming...
But we are still being blessed with the late summer harvest. Thought I'd post some Instagram snaps here.
I love summertime produce... it's nature at its fullest expression: sweet, juicy, and colorful.

| one of many, many tomato salads: heirloom tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper |
 |
| yellow heirloom tomato with purple basil, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper |
 |
| more purple and yellow - color wheel contrast perfected by nature |
 |
| a tabbouleh-inspired salad: Israeli couscous, cucumber, grape and yellow pear tomatoes, lentils, EVOO, lemon, parsley |
 |
| shisito peppers, blistered in a searing-hot cast iron pan with olive oil and whole cloves of garlic, plus lime squeezed over top |
 |
| green and purple basil - so pretty! |
 |
| crunchy and peppery radishes, enjoyed simply with butter and coarse salt |
And let's not forget the fruit, enjoyed in different ways...
 |
| jewel-like blackberries in a simple cake, about to go into the oven |
 |
| apricot jam - a hint of black pepper and lemon was just genius (recipe here) |
 |
| the best thing about August: peaches! |
 |
| can't get enough... |
 |
| chilled canteloupe and basil soup |

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!
