Summer goodness

It’s July. It’s hot. A good time to be into “bowls” for the summer’s bounty.

For years now, I have been reliving our trip to Spain with it’s Serrano ham and Spanish olives, manchego, and really fresh produce.

Guess what! No more pining away at the exorbitant cost of shipping things from Spain or Spanish food purveyors. I found Aldi’s. Wow. Two miles away.

    So added to my wonderful fresh cucumber and tomato salad with white wine vinegar, olive oil, and a little freshly ground pepper, I now have Serrano ham (Aldi’s for way cheaper than ordering online) and and Manchego (from Costco).

Okay, I know it’s not a gourmet assembly or presentation, but it’s a  perfect little lunch for the 95 degree day today, and it’s only for me.

Hello summer!
