What's for Dinner, Tues., July 4, 2023

Watermelon, feta, and arugula salad with balsamic glaze.

I have arugula rustica which is very strong; also a very nice quality feta which I have been saving for such a salad.

Kinda' warm here, so not too hungry for anything else. Maybe later a decaf iced coffee with a chocolate covered pretzel stick.

with some of the first tomatoes from my garden. We had a big meal midday with both our sons, with ribs, potato salad and key lime pie to celebrate my husband's birthday.
