I'm certain you've seen headlines about how hot it is in CA this week but because no one here can stop talking about it...it's been SO hot. We do not have A/C and it has been 90' inside the house so I am grateful for cut fruit and leftovers and the grill and cold margaritas. This week's menu doesn't include any oven time now that I look at it. Consider it inspired by circumstance!

The pasta is a nod to the kids, as I feel like we haven't has a super "kid friendly" meal up in awhile. You could easily pack leftovers in a lunch box! We had to do one more corn dish for summers end, I love love this salad, and there is a marg that is half mezcal because I like them a little smoky, but not a lot smoky.

Hope you are staying well! All kids seem to be back in school now and soccer starts this weekend and we're expecting a hot rain this afternoon so things are certainly shifting. Cheers, friends!
