Summer is bearing down hard on us here in NYC. It's not in full swing yet but we have a had a few inklings of things to come and let's just say I will be using my oven as little as possible. So in my mad search for cold salads I put together this scrumptious little concoction last week. It starts with my new favorite ingredient, quinoa. How come no one ever told me about this until about 6 months ago? It's lovely. To that I added sweet corn, chopped summer squash and basil. I served it on a bed of mache or lamb's lettuce and drizzled on a homemade lemon vinaigrette. Voila. Cool, crisp summer lunch. Try it.
I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT! Take a look.
