Today we went to an art festival here in town called Art in the Park. We ate kettle corn, got too much sun, and (Fred's snickering at this one) I bought three photos of man hole covers. Ah, a typical weekend day in the summer!!
After the program we went for a swim, played a bit of tennis, and then came home for a Woods to Food dinner.
Tonight's dinner was trout stuffed with tomato, basil, and firm goat cheese (it called for parmesan, but we have a lot of cheese from our friend's goat farm in right now), rubbed down with olive oil, salt and pepper, wrapped in bacon and grilled. I'm rushing the summer veggies a bit, but the corn on the cob at the store is good already, so we accompanied the trout with most everything Bernadette suggested in the book: corn on the cob, boiled potatoes, cucumbers with peppers and onions in a vinegatte, good bread and we added more goat cheese to the menu!
Boy, did it taste like summer. I think it was mostly the cucumbers in vinegar and ice with mint and dill that smacked me in the face that it was a summertime meal, actually.
The fish was great. After muffins for breakfast and kettle corn for lunch, I was quite ready for a solid, healthy meal and this one surely did not disappoint. Honestly, I wasn't sure why trout had to be wrapped in bacon since it is so good on its own. However, when is it ever a true mistake to add bacon to anything, eh? I like the taste of grilled bacon, and it gave the trout a smokey, complex taste that was certainly nothing to complain about.
