I am currently eating corn salad with merguez and it's delicious:

kernels from 2 ears of corn, charred
kernels from 2 ears of corn, sauteed with:
1 diced zucchini
3 diced serranos
some cumin
some cayenne
deglaze with a little tequila

toss the above in a bowl with
1/2 round of queso fresco, grated
1 large ripe tomato, diced
1 can black beans
1 large lime, juice of

and I served that over some arugula with chopped up merguez from the farmers' market. I made it on Sunday and I made it today and it's delicious and I'll be making it again.

I'd suggest ceviche, but no mexican. So, in that case, I suggest german potato salad held hot in crockpot(rabbit optional, but appropriate), or like, a cucumber-y mint-y, dill salad thingy with a white bals vin, honey, red bells, etc. Stick to crunchy veg, a tart/tangy/dill-y vin, maybe a rotini pasta salad? I dunno, its about that time of year I start making citrus-y refreshing pasta salads for the wife, with dill, cucumber, onion, parsley, carrot, etc.

These are very good suggestions! I especially like the idea of bringing cold noodles and watching all the old Italian ladies freaking out about it.

Since I posted we got a request from someone to bring pulled pork, though, so maybe I can do that.

Or maybe I can bring pulled pork and use it on banh mi?

Hmmmm......

my standard is a vietnamese slaw using papaya or cabbage, fish sauce, cilantro, sesame seeds, palm sugar, thai chili, lime. apparently no one ever makes this, but I eat it all the goddamn time.

How different is palm sugar to cane? I've never used it before.

not that different really. cane sugar tastes more skewed toward molasses, with a subtle sour note.

palm sugar isn't sour, and has a bit more of a depth to it, I'd say like a very faint complex coconut richness, but "coconut" is a stretch. more beguiling in any case. I use it a lot in SE asian curries and uncooked dressings where you might be able to actually taste it.

In any case, plain sugar or light brown sugar (or a mix of the two) are perfectly acceptable substitutes.

Thanks, very helpful. Probably not worth buying, although I cook SE Asian fairly often. I don't use that much sugar when I do though.

Oh man. I grew up in Nassau. If you're over in bethpage that way and want hella seafood, Popeis is the place. Expecting Lobster is my JAM. Sorry I can't help you any more on the east end, I rarely went out that way. But go to the rattiest oldest looking place you can find with the beatest up old cars. The few old time locals that the yups havn't driven out won't point you wrong.

Their specials can comfortably feed a family of four if you have kids. That and a bowl of soup each and sodas, and you get out of the best fish fry in the most expensive county in the US for about 70bux. Not bad.

I've got raspberries, blueberries and cherries in the house. Just got back from Italy, where we gorged on cherries. I love them so much. Also brought back:
2 jars of honey
2 bags of lentils
I bag borlotti beans
I bag polenta (part-eaten)
I big hunk hay-matured pecorino

Just been eating them fresh. It's like tomato season - I have these ideas to actually make things with them, but I never get around to it because I can't stop eating them raw.

But mostly we've been eating 3 or 4 melons a week since they're in season and good right now. Crenshaws, Casabas, Canaries, etc.

Simmer them in lingonberry or raspberry syrup, soak a couple days, and make a galette.

I really like cold cherry soup, too, especially when made with sour cherries.

Rodgrod med flode (no crossed o on my phone keyboard) is great with some cherries. Again, sour cherries.

That first one especially sounds amazing. We don't really get sour cherries here in the UK. I can't recall seeing them.
