August

Today is the last day of August. I cannot believe summer is basically over. We do not have any specific plans for the long weekend yet, but hopefully we will do something fun.

Maybe we will go out for a nice dinner to celebrate what's officially official. I'm such a proud wife, I love to brag!

What did we do this past month? Relaxed at home, B went to Texas, both of us got sick, started working out with a personal trainer, and cleaned the condo! It was a productive month. We did not travel near as much as we did in June & July... but we do have some exciting trips planned in the next 4 months.

Last night for dinner we had grilled corn and tomato salad, something we have not had since last summer. I have adapted this recipe from a Sunterra recipe I have had for years. We also had a piece of sun-dried tomato ciabatta on the side. It was freshly baked at the Italian Centre, we could not resist!


Recipe:
4 cobs of grilled corn, cut off the cob
6 diced tomatoes
onion
cilantro
grated smoked gouda
toasted cumin seeds
dressing: EVOO, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, fresh ground pepper

Mix it all up and enjoy. This is a great late summer dish as corn on the cob is very plump and juicy right now.

Last evening, we also spent some time with my aunt. Her dog had a toy pig that has a built in sling shot and oinks when slung. Not only did it amuse him... I could not get enough of it!


See you in September!
