Tuscan White Bean Soup, which I made with stock I had going from Deborah Madison's Greens Cook Book.
This stock has just about every summer vegetable in it you can imagine, from summer squash, chard, to eggplant. It asks for quite a few herbs, which I fortunately have: basil, marjoram, parsley. She got me on lovage, though. Don't have that this year.
It turned out to be quite delicious and I'll even have a little left over for tomorrow.
Salad is tossed greens, meaning butter lettuce, baby spinach, and ruffly green. Pear tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion with lemon vinaigrette.
Dessert: a few slices off a chocolate croissant and cold Earl Grey tea.

Romaine lettuce as a base. Thinly sliced red onion rings, cucumber slices, orange and green pepper slices, hard boiled egg slices and garlic croutons topped with pine nuts then dressed with a mustard/olive oil/salt & pepper/white wine concoction. The tuna has been marinating in a light soy sauce and will be pan seared then sliced ultra thinly before being laid artfully on the salad, (snicker!). Bread and butter on the side.
Ice cream and cookies for dessert.

Good Evening
Lucky you. I'd have to pay $6 for one. Santa Claus and Christmas melon are the same.
And look! They're almost all sold out!
