# Burst Tomato Galette with Corn and Zucchini - This was so good. It tastes like summer in your mouth. And the crust was delicious and quite easy. I used a slotted spoon to transfer the veggies from the pan to the crust and did not really have a problem with excess liquid.

# Kale Salad with Pecorino and Walnuts - This was also delicious! I used powdered parmesan from Berkeley Bowl, and next time I would decrease the quantity a little because it was a trifle too salty due to volume discrepancies. But it's great with the toasted nuts and the vinegared raisins (I might make some more of them next time, too).

# Herbed Summer Squash and Potato Torte - Delicious.

# Rice-Stuffed Tomatoes - I would definitely par-cook the rice for a full 15 minutes, as I only did 12 and in the end all of it did not fully cook. I also had to use tomatoes that Berkeley Bowl rated as "extra large" to get ones that averaged 8oz per, not medium.

# Roasted Tomato Soup with Broiled Cheddar - Wildly unseasonal, but I had the cheese leftover from a BBQ and the tomatoes are good right now and I used some of my homemade chicken stock, and it was delicious.

# Almond-Crisped Peaches - I made these last night using almond meal with the oats/sea salt/cinnamon variation and they are delicious. I ate two for breakfast this morning with plain yogurt and NOM.

I am all about those almond-crisped peaches, the recipe for which was published just as we stopped getting peaches in our CSA box. They sound fabulous. No surprise, from Smitten Kitchen (which [personal profile] oliviacirce introduced me to a few years ago.

Indeed! I was going to offer to lend you the cookbook, but clearly not useful.
