aaaa-a-aah! woke up at 4AM w possible solution for sailing vacation dessert - to go w pan-Mediterranean grill-fest (chorizo, shrimp, lamb sausages, polenta, falafel, zucchini, porcini, peppers, feta, & pita all grilled, accompanied by appropriate dips & gracenotes) - based on grilled shortcakes I did a while ago but NOT grilled, I'll wanna sit down & visit w family by dessert-time - peaches & pears w honey, cardamon, lemon juice, & sliced dried figs & apricots, covered w a cardamon-scented cobbleresque top with (get this) surprising pockets of sweetened mascarpone doctored w/ lemon zest, I'm picturing a kind of localized melty lemon cheescakiness, combined of course w the usual fruit-meltiness on the bottom of the cobbler-top ... have to test-drive that soon.

nice walk around Cortina to Taylor Park, met Freckles & played w her, then dragged home, actually carried the 20+ lb dog the last half-block, cuz she was so very lying-down-in-the-shade... it is a bit warm out there, everything is limp or just downright brown - if only that 30% chance of rain comes thru this weekend, the blackberries will be a bumper crop this year!
hoisin tofu for dinner, kiwi & orange salad...got the FruitNVeg drawers/ bowls etc sorta under control. sorta. Set out pains au choc for tomorrow morning....
