Dinner at Salvatore’s Tomato Pies

The husband and I found ourselves in Sun Prairie just in time for an early dinner. I was very excited to head to Salvatore’s Tomato Pies.

Late summer and the cucumbers are fresh from the farmers market.

What do you do with quick bread leftovers?

Vanilla Mascarpone

Combine:

*Or try other flavorings. I have tired two others: maple syrup and homemade preserves.

What interesting flavors can you come up with or tried? Comment and reply to share.

What do you do with over ripe bananas on a hot summer day? …. Make banana bread of course, but at this time of the year skip the oven.

For an upscale, relaxing brunch after the farmers market, the husband and I headed to Sardine. Not too far of a walk from the downtown action.

It was a gorgeous day so we sat on the patio overlooking lake Monona.

Here’s a thought…. You’re about to boil noodles, what do the directions on the box say?

Does it say “add salt to water, bring to boil”?

I say – why does it need to be regular salt?
