To anyone who still thinks John Kelly gives a damn about anything that orange asswipe in the Oval Office does, here's proof to the contrary. Gen Kelly, if you don't stand up to this, you are a coward and an opportunist. Resign now. huffingtonpost.com/entry/amvets-t…

@sansturbot Gorgeous

@KitchenCru This was yelllow watermelon + sungolds

97° too bloody hot to cook. Gazpacho Andaluz is the perfect choice. Also I just noticed how much the proto-gazpacho resembles panzanella.

@sansturbot I like that variation. Went pretty classic this time, although I admit to slightly over garnishing for the sake of the photo.

@KitchenCru Add watermelon FTW

The Gabi @OxPDX #OxBox lunch popup. Grilled albacore, grilled eggplant & provoletta, chimichurri. Decadent, sloppy, delicious.

Good morning, Portland.

@tonyajonemiller Done, and done. I add a slice of Walla Walla onion, too.

@KitchenCru Tomato + mayo sandwich on shokupan or other soft, white bread.

Over a week of 90° plus weather coming, which is unusual for us. Looking for easy prep, cold-to-room temp dishes to prepare. What are some of your favorites? I'll start: - watermelon, mint, feta, lime salad - cold sesame noodles - shrimp & avo tostadas - omelets & frittatas

Keep cool 😅 in the hot🌡️this week. We've brewed plenty of @Smithteamakers tea, and have freshly made lemonade & limeade. You can jazzt them up with real fruit syrups, too, like @StarvationAlley cranberry, our own strawberry, blueberry, & more.

@verysmallanna Great ideas. Look forward to trying the japchae, never made that! Starting research now.
