With arugula and a sous vide egg.

Makers mark and brown sugar as a glaze for pork chops.

At home, butter and truffle salt.

If I'm at the movies I dump a box of junior mints into the bag.

Either way, yum!

If it's good prosciutto the best way to eat it is by itself. A little cheese won't hurt anything though.

I actually wrote a blog about Roasted Zucchini Soup a couple of weeks ago which includes instructions for if the zucchini you are using have gotten out of control. Hope you enjoy.

My friend and I each had an eyeball, which we liked, and a little bit of brain which neither of us liked (but at least now I can say I've tried brain).

Thanks for the advice.

I used to love eating frozen peas when I was a kid, so I would have been down for one of these.

Make infused vodka. Last year I made both cantelope and watermelon infused vodkas. Round about January it was delightful to have a little sip of summer.

I harvested my very first tomato from my garden and made Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce. Yummy.

Set up a charcoal grill for indirect cooking. Add wood chips so it's good a smoky. Put russet potatoes directly on the grill grate (no foil as it defeats the purpose of the smoke). Let them roast for an hour or so then enjoy with the usual baked potato toppings. So good.

Clean it off then let it dry. If you have as much as I did last year, you and all of your friends will be able to use your oregano all winter.

These are my husband's favorite:

They are dead easy to make too.

For a group I like to do "design your own" burgers. I'll put out a plate with tons of options. All the standards (lettuce, ketchup, etc) but then I like to add a couple of kinds of cheese (esp. blue because I love it), carmalized onion, bacon, avocado, flavored mayos (chipotle and curry are favs), barbecue sauce, etc.

It's also fun to do sliders with this type of presentation because then guests can make a couple of different kinds of burgers for themselves.
