Forgive me for showing off. This is the soufflé I made on Monday. I used very young and tender grape leaves, finely chopped, in place of spinach. It was very delicious. And now I have another use for our grape leaves.

Tonight we'll get back to homemade pizza for our Friday movie night. We've missed a couple of weeks of pizza and a movie Fridays this summer. Some weeks our schedules don't mesh. I am out of pepperoni, though. So I'll do an Italian sausage, mushroom, and basil pizza as I made a couple of weeks ago.
I love looking at our meals and thinking about how much is coming from our garden, orchard, or foraging. I know that some of you must do the same. On Monday, without all of what we grow or forage, we would have had a plain cheese soufflé, toast, and pie crust (with sugar inside but no berries). Yes, I'm easily entertained.
Many of you have mentioned the peaches you've been enjoying. I don't live in peach country, so fresh peaches are a special treat for us. Fred Meyer has peaches at $1.99/lb this week. However, my daughter was gifted a peach this week by the lady she was cat sitting for. This lady left town and remembered she'd left a peach sitting out, so she texted my daughter and asked her to eat it. Well, my daughter brought it home for the four of us. So I cut it up and added it to other fruit for a really wonderful fruit salad to go with our lunches on day this week. Unless I find a great price on peaches, that will be it for fresh peaches for me this year. I hope you all enjoy the ones you can get.
Those were our evening meals for the week. What was on your menu?
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
