This has nothing to do with food, but I'm still repeatedly suddenly sad about Thom Gunn passing away.

Tartine: baguettes and butter and strawberry jam.
Watermelon salad: cubes of watermelon with feta, mint from Ernestina's garden, and cilantro.
Quiche: Rosemary pie crust made with minced rosemary from the neighbor's garden, sauteed onions, beet greens and arugula with thyme, salt, and pepper, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup milk and smoked gouda cubes tossed in with it. Brought this to Erin's BBQ party--a bit too much veggie in proportion to the custard, but still good.
Quiche scraps: rosemary pie dough scraps sprinkled with Parmesan and baked till brown and crunchy

After I got back from Italy, I went to the garden--now overflowing with fava beans--and picked a large metal mixing bowl full of them. Shelled them, blanched them, peeled off the tough outer skin of the beans; sauteed them with thyme, Italian parsley, and a red spring onion from the garden.
At Molly's house in LA we had a few meals of the following:
Black bean chili
Avocados
Raw corn, grated carrot, and sweet onion salad with lime juice and cilantro
Pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, cilantro)
Plain yogurt
Tortilla chips
