- Tonight we're having an all-American dinner: grilled chicken drumsticks, potato salad with chives, corn on the cob, tarragon cucumber pickles and peach pie.
- Some form of corn soup--either corn potato basil chowder or Tammy's lovely sounding silky corn soup (see the comments for the recipe) which I might try chilled, depending on the whether it is stinking hot or not; served with the broccoli/chick pea/red onion salad I made a couple of weeks ago and loved.
- 1 tomato will go into a potato-summer squash gratin: I'll use the mandoline to slice the potatoes and squash paper thin and then layer them with the tomatoes and some cheddar and chives. It'll be loosely based on the goat cheese-potato-summer squash gratin I made couple of weeks ago and loved.
- The other two tomatoes will go into salads with the lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, beets, feta and some blanched green beans.

We had the corn tonight, a cream of broccoli soup from the broccoli and a chocolate cake made from beets. Dinner was awesome.
Enjoy your trip!
Have a great vacation.
I leave for Cross Village, MI in 20 hours. Can't wait to leave the A2.
I hope you get to enjoy some great East coast seafood while you're out there!
The corn soup idea sounds fantastic, thanks for the link! Alas, I cannot eat broccoli, it hates me, but that salad sounds soooo good!
Gorgeous post picture, by the way, very nice lighting in it :)
