The traditional French dishes, like Boeuf Bourguignon, Escargot, Coq au Vin, are usually well-known, even when not properly cherished.
One in every of my favourite bistro / cafe dishes and a summer season traditional, is Salade de Chevre Chaud, or a easy inexperienced salad with heat, melting goat cheese on baguette croutons.
Sitting at a sidewalk café, sipping a glass of rosé, and having fun with heat goat cheese on crisp greens, is a part of an ideal summer season day.
When one now not has lettuce – skip the croutons and put the nice and cozy cheese on pasta.
Don’t overlook the rosé….

Notes
The goat cheese I used is available in a log with pores and skin, that’s not fairly an 1 1/2 inches (4cm) in diameter. That permits for thick slices.
If doesn’t look prepared after 4 minutes, take it out anyway – it’s prepared.
Do the cheese after the pasta is completed and the prep work whereas the water boils & pasta cooks.

One other variation on a summer season traditional: Caprese Pasta Salad with Grilled Sausages
We’ve been having stunning, heat summer season days.
We’re on the northern fringe of the ‘warmth dome’, fortunately, so are lacking the actually scorching days.
What am I doing with my time on these beautiful days?
Why, making soup, after all.
The summer season squashes have been producing like loopy so I nearly have my annual quota of puréed squash soup for winter lunches.
The tomatoes began ripening final week, so I’m beginning on the tomato soup, additionally for winter lunches.
The inexperienced beans (and yellow and purple) have been nice so I’ve just a few baggage of these within the freezer for winter.
At this time I did all 3.
Tomorrow I’m going to take a seat underneath a tree and browse (yah, proper!)
