Sometimes I really get stuck in a rut, making the same things over and over again, mostly because of a lack of inspiration, so it’s nice to have a reason to make and to try a lot of new things to add to my culinary repertoire. It’s also been nice to have so many leftover that keep so well.
I’m going to admit that I sometimes blog asynchronously, so although this is published on July 2, I’m writing it the morning of July 9, talking about a plate of leftovers that I had from the gathering on the 4th of July. (Confused yet, my fellow time-traveler?)
From the top, clockwise, there’s Elaine’s Watermelon-balsamic salad, Southwest Mango salad, Curried Red Lentils, and a green salad (not “the” green salad, just a standard one).
