Have some marionberry pie

A little more traditional for good measure:

On special right now, at a market near you. They apparently distribute very efficiently from the Pacific NW. Fresh not farmed at 8.99 a pound at my supermarket - I've been eating salmon every night this week. With fresh sweet corn and fresh southern veggies. Fried okra works with that, RB.

Summer is so good.

It does travel well. But getting it here is a different animal. The very best salmon I've ever had was a whole salmon bought at Pike Place early in the morning and taken home to grill that same day with a very subtle dijon glaze and just a little twist of lemon.

Grilled over cedar chips, of course. And none of that gas grill crap.
 
I lived in the South. Maybe not Texas, but still the South.

It's climate is terrible. It's Stockholm syndrome to disagree. I've spent the past 3 months with temps ranging from the high 60's to the low 80's, with sunshine and a breeze. Sure, it rains in the winter...and here is where Texas is probably better, but in NC/GA it got just as damn cold and brown (albeit drier) as it does here. It just became unbearable in the summer rather than paradise.

Climate is relative to humidity. Texas still has some, but it's much better than the Carolinas.

Yeah, like I said, Texas may be a lot better in the winter, and I know the heat (outside the Galveston area) is much drier.

But man, people that act like the rain here is awful are trying to ward off people in the summer. Where it is possibly the nicest weather of anywhere I've ever been, including various places in SoCal, the Caribbean, etc. A soft lake breeze in 75 degree weather with the sun shining and Mount Rainier towering over everything. And always plenty of shade for when it gets a wee bit hot.

But back to the food...

This. Summer in Phoenix is hotter than summer in Asuncion... but I'll take 115/46 and low humidity over 98/39 and 80% any day.

Thanks for the great food pics all, missing a lot of it. the meat down here is ace, but the food choices are very narrow. Outside Korean, whose immigrants here basically said "F you, if you don't like it, don't eat it. We cook it our way", everything else is dialed down like Chinese food was in the 70s.

Can't hit churrascurrias every day (or every month... i limit those to once every six months or so), and man cannot live on lomitos alone, so most of our meals are are eating just because we need sustenance rather than because I'm excited to cook / order from somewhere.
