I wanted to try cucumbers in a way I've never seen them used. Sure I've pickled them, but I've never spread them on toast, until now. It's a very unusual jelly and a perfect way to use up that bumper crop of cukes.

For June's Charcutepalooza challenge I made sweet Italian sausage. I opted to showcase it in a deconstucted pesto dish with some sauteed peppers and onions.

For May's Chracutepalooza sausage challenge I made merguez sausage. I came up with this North African Ravioli recipe. It's not a meal you can just throw together quickly, but it's flavor makes up for the time it takes.

I started thinking what I could make with lilacs now that they're in bloom. After deciding on a lilac simple syrup it wasn't a far leap until I came up with this lilac martini.

An idea for duck prosciutto. Open-faced duck prosciutto sandwiches with roasted grapes. If this doesn't clear up my weather blues I don't think anything will.
