Summertime is made for lazy days. And lazy days don’t always include thought out or involved meals around our place.

Plum Galette
July 18, 2010
Every time I see a photo of a rustic style galette somewhere I’m taken by how beautiful they are. I’ve actually never made one before this, but it’s been on my list for quite a while now. With peaches, apricots and plums looking so good these days, some kind of stone fruit galette seemed in order.

It was an eventful weekend. Finally got the new camera I’ve been reluctantly convincing myself I deserve. Drank quite a bit of wine in celebration of a friend’s birthday. Nearly drowned myself trying to pull some kind of thoughtless stunt in a kiddy pool (believe it or not, completely unrelated to the wine). And then there were the bees…

And it seemed like nothing I could do would make them better then they already were in their raw state.
Ceviche was pretty much the only thing I could think of that wouldn’t countermand their sweet, sweet purity…
Scalloping in Homosassa Bay
July 1, 2010
Homosassa Florida. Who knew you even existed? Not I. Not until Katie, our dear friend and woman of the sea opened our eyes to scalloping. Speaking of eyes, did you know scallops have between 50 and 100 of them?
Bay scallop season in Florida, which usually starts July 1, opened early this year and we were lucky enough to get invited along last weekend to join some real scalloping pros…

June 28, 2010
This is it guys, my first time making ice cream! I’ve always wanted to try, but don’t have an ice cream maker and can’t really justify owning one given the amount of ice cream it would lead me to consume. Plus, that’s what friends are for, right? My good friend and the biggest ice cream head I know, Corey, recently got an ice cream maker and invited me over to take it for a spin.
