Poached Fish and Grilled Vegetable Salad
Updated: 2010-09-03 03:15:23
I look forward to those overcast summer days, when the sun isn’t shining or it’s supposed to rain. It’s an excuse to stay indoors, cooking and spending time with a friend.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been lucky to have a steady stream of friends and relatives visiting from New Jersey, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Phoenix. When dinnertime rolls around, as some of us are cooking in the kitchen, we send others out back to the garden with the question: “What looks good in the garden?”
Summer is a funny time in the kitchen, always crowded and crazy. As friends come and go on vacation, the kitchen becomes a place to catch up while cooking something quick. It’s Grand Central terminal, where friends connect, often briefly, before moving on to someplace else.
Early on this summer one of our friends was in a major accident. We’re thrilled he’s doing great now, the neck brace is off and the whole family is on the mend. While Alison and I have been advocating helping friends in need for years, I have to say I learned more this time than ever, as three of us coordinated food and help for the family from about 50 dedicated friends.
Jackie had just returned from nearly three weeks away when she texted me --“Want to hang out and cook something today?” It was a muggy Monday, and I was dragging a bit, still hoping to come up with something to do with the kids. “Sure,” I said, “but there’s a catch—we have to use peaches since I have pounds and pounds of them from my CSA.”
The tomatoes here in New Jersey are better than they’ve been in years. I’m getting 5 pounds of firm and beautiful organic beefsteaks this year with my CSA share instead of the measly ½ pound like last year.

I’m finally reaching a point in the craziness that has been the past few weeks that I can begin to contemplate all the things that I should have been doing. I finally have a chance to contemplate cooking something again; which is a good thing considering I have a deadline for a recipe development project looming very near now.
Seriously, it’s been sheer insanity around the CbsoP household. I’ve been…
Here is another great spinach recipe. In the past, I posted Ricotta and Spinach Recipe, Strawberry Spinach Salad and Spanakopita Recipe. Here is another great recipe with spinach - and it’s very easy to make, too.

Sorry for the lapse in posts lately.
