I did a mix of heirloom, beefsteak and plum. Also too peach tomato roast corn and black bean salsa with cilantro. I know this is the kind of thing people who have twee hobbies say, but it tastes like summer.

P.S. New normals have a way of becoming new all over again. And again. Thrash, wail, cry, type words in order to not comment here but DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP. The other things can be helpful. Beating yourself us is a terrible waste of energy, psyche and steals good stuff. So just don't.

Dunno to whom to attribute the original astute observation, but it is spot-on.

I have a bottle of Riesling I need to use, and will not drink. I will google this Alsatian coq.
