Wine & Cheese

via

The other night, my two-year old son was trying to tell me something. "I do not like ______." I kept asking him to repeat himself so I could understand what he was saying. After about 7 tries, I finally realized that he was saying "I do not like Humboldt Fog"

I'd picked up a small wedge of Humboldt Fog earlier in the week and my parents must have given him a piece for lunch that day.

For several months now, whenever we've given him a new kind of cheese, he's asked "what kind is this?" The point is, we eat a lot of cheese, so I was pretty happy when I saw these 13 Diagrams on Buzzfeed. 

Easy Recipes for Summer Nights

It seems as though we are in the dog days of summer. NYC is hot and sticky, and I'm lamenting that we don't have outdoor space for a bbq. sigh.

In the meantime, we're throwing together lots of quick, easy meals. Here are some quick and easy recipes we've hunted down for this week's menu:

• Lemon-Soy Edamame Barley Bowl (Camille Styles)
• Baked Salmon w/ brown rice & broccoli (The Marathon Mom)
• Grilled Chicken Salad w/ Vinaigrette (I can't find this recipe online, but it's a favorite from Sara Foster)
• Pasta with Pesto: I've just discovered that Russo's Mozzarella and Pasta sells the most delicious pesto. So, I have just been buying that. If you're in brooklyn, they also have fresh, homemade mozzarella every day. 

Stay cool!
