SIDESSALADS

Peach, Heirloom Tomato & Mozzarella Salad

There are lots of nice things about summer: the beach, the sunshine, the fact that you can wear flip-flops. My favorite thing about this particular moment of the year, though?

PEACHES.

I have eaten so many peaches in the past week that I should probably have turned into one. (I'm serious: probably in the neighborhood of twenty-five; I bought a silly number of them at the Farmer's Market on Sunday, ate them all by Monday, and have been stopping into Whole Foods for more practically every single day.)

Floods Are Not Especially Fun

Seriously?

OK, so that was no fun at all. Or rather "continues to be" no fun (I'm still mid-dealing-with it; there are a ton of fans running in our basement, I've only just begun the claims process to try to get back some of the money we've lost on this, and there are some items - vacuum, baby stuff - I'll need to run out and replace before I can get on my flight).

I honestly wasn't even going to write about this, both because it's kind of gross and I wasn't sure anyone would be in the mood to read about broken sewer pipes over their morning coffee, and because it's getting sort of embarrassing, the amount of commotion that my life has involved lately (website hackings! fights with enormous national corporations! last-minute cross-country moves! anxiety!). I'm starting to worry that I sound like one of those people who manufacture their own drama, just to keep things interesting.

DIY Cucumber Hint Water

I am utterly obsessed with Hint Water.

Have you ever tried it? It's delicious in a way that makes no sense, considering that it's just water that tastes ever-so-vaguely like an ever-so-vague flavor (such as blackberry, watermelon, grapefruit, or - my favorite - cucumber).

The only problem with Hint Water is that it exists only in stores, and sometimes I am home at 10PM and my son is in bed and I all of a sudden realize: need Hint Water. Now.
