Had dinner with friends the other evening. They made a peach caprese-style salad to accompany grilled salmon. It was such a refreshing and creative, unique twist on a favorite summer dish. Beautiful and delicious. I enjoyed the meal, and the company, and could not wait to tell a few people about it.
Apparently, I'm the last person to have heard about subbing out peaches for tomatoes in a caprese salad. At least of those I told - my son, my brother, a few friends.
"Oh, yeah, that's really big now," a friend told me last night at dinner.
Ah, well, that's okay. It was a delight to experience, there under a late summer evening sky with good friends and good wine.
I made it today for lunch. Like my friend, I used burrata. There was fresh basil from the garden and a drizzle of a good, balsamic vinegar. It's not so much a recipe as it is art.
Creating Space: Three Months of Showing Up for What's Showing Up is a daily writing practice. Turns out that a lot of this writing explores the landscape of grief. My mother died shortly before I began this writing, and this is what I'm thinking about most of the time these days.
