Dyin' Gasp Dining

We have vowed to eat the dwindling summer crops for at least the next week, maybe the whole next month.
There's a glut of tomatoes at the market, and cucumbers are still doing well. The onions are from my dad's garden (delightfully mild, but with a still-discernable onion kick).
Voilà, panzanella. It's kind of like a big, unstirred gazpacho that you eat with a fork.
I died. I gasped.
I survived.
It was good.

Mmmmm- panzanella! I once died eating panzanella too. It was after a 42 mile bike ride on the Kalhaven trail in Michigan, at the Food Dance Cafe in Kalamazoo. I hope this restaurant is still there. For eternity.

panzanella...mmmmm.... in the region where I live, the yeast just won't go sour! No sour dough! It's a freakin sin... I tried a starter in the fridge for months, and it never got very tangy at all. yours looks so good!

MB: 42 miles? You are a woman of steel. And bread and tomatoes. Wow.

Stacie: Oh, gosh. Don't worry about sourdough. Just do it. (swoosh)

Oh. That would have been good.
But gosh, you would have loved the Bulgarian feta. Pure barnyard.

Looks good! Just when I thought there would be a small crop of toms now I got a ton.
