I am so sorry about not getting the blog updated last week! Somehow it just completely slipped my mind until Monday, at which point it seemed a bit superfluous.
Chow.com has an assortment of eggplant recipes, some potentially low in fat (eggplant soup, eggplant pickle, charred eggplant salad) and a delicious (and visually stunning) collection of grilled-summer-fruit recipes! Serious Eats has a fairly technical but still interesting exploration of exactly why barbecued chicken does not count as barbecue, and an intimidatingly complete taste-test of all of IKEA’s packaged food. “There were some winners, some losers, and some fish pastes that come in toothpaste tubes.”
Darya Pino, at Summer Tomato, explores whether “That’s the greatest invention since sliced bread!” is really such a great comparison (Hint: no). Simply Recipes provides a couple of good-looking salads, one of green beans with basil and balsamic vinegar, the other a caprese (tomato, basil, mozzarella) tossed with grilled sweet corn! And Snack-Girl explores the latest version of PointsPlus.
The 16th is National Rum Day. I’ll drink to that. Saturday is National Soft Ice-Cream Day – Golden Spoon counts! And next Wednesday is Eat A Peach Day (do I dare?)
And August 15th would have been Julia Child’s 100th birthday. All hail the immortal Julia, who flipped a potato pancake onto the table, put it back in the pan, said directly to the camera “There’s no one in the kitchen but you!”, and kept going. Julia Child invented shark repellent. JULIA CHILD INVENTED SHARK REPELLENT.
August 15th: National Lemon Meringue Pie Day; Julia Child born, 1912

August 17th: National Vanilla Custard Day
August 18th: National Ice-Cream Pie Day
August 19th: National Soft Ice-Cream Day, National Potato Day, National Hot & Spicy Foods Day (And once again I deplore the use of "spicy" as a synonym for "laden with hot chilies": ginger and cumin and cinnamon are all spices)
August 20th: National Lemonade Day, National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day; feast of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, patron of beekeepers.
August 21st: National Spumoni Day; feast of St Bernard Tolomeo, patron of olive growers
