No dinner plans meant I was free to spend the afternoon cooking, which I did, after a walk to our farm to cut some fresh herbs.
And these:

The real reason I get a farm share

But back to the dinner: I made another tortilla at Jason's request, plus a couple of recipes from a book my Mom loaned me (Six Seasons, by Joshua McFadden. I already love this cookbook). First was a grilled eggplant with tomatoes, torn croutons and fresh herbs. It was good, although I wish I had peeled the eggplant and not used quite so many croutons.  Plus a fried cauliflower with spicy fish sauce sauce. Personally, I think roasting the cauliflower would have been fine, but that sauce made it all worthwhile. Even Carter liked it. I am plotting other uses for the leftover sauce. Nice summer meal, that I then ruined by eating too much leftover PB cookie dough.
