Whew, we know it's going to be hot this weekend, with today's temps in particular approaching 100. So for today, we'll be looking at a nice, cool dinner, a gigantic caprese salad featuring the fresh mozzarella I picked up at Wednesday's fantastic one-day sale at Whole Foods, when it was $2 for a half pound ball. (You can still find good deals - both Sprouts and Sunflower are featuring 8 oz containers of fresh mozz for $3 this week, and my $2 mozz is now $3.99 at Whole Foods, still a discount.) Some crusty bread and something green, maybe just a tossed salad on the side, will fill it out.
Then with temperatures still in the 90s, we'll be grilling tomorrow, probably whatever fresh wild salmon I can find at Sprouts or elsewhere. I've just realized that Sprouts' current ad is ambiguous, as the fresh salmon they have for $7.99/lb doesn't specify whether it's wild or farmed. Grilled potatoes in foil packages and grilled veggies can round it out, without having to do a bit of cooking indoors.
Then to actually cook something on Sunday, we'll take advantage of all our wonderful spring (now summer) produce with pasta with peas, asparagus, butter lettuce, and prosciutto from Bon Appetit. Asparagus is a great price at Sprouts at $1.69/lb, lettuce is in full swing, and I picked up a nice package of pancetta to substitute for the prosciutto at the Broadway Whole Foods closing sale - already a decent price, and then I got 30% off of that. Some peas might stay in, but the sugar snap peas are so beautiful right now, they'll have to be added as a featured component. A veggie fiesta to end a hot weekend.
Then on to more planning...
