Steph- I'm making the edamame pasta tonight. Looks delicious. You are right about the rush from a long-shot connection like the response from the hotel. Makes the world seem like a smaller friendlier place. Same with Substack feedback. I enjoy our long distance connection.

Yes summer has a way of giving us expectations and then the heat and long days wears us out. Its odd. Take care. Scott

Your Illy story cracks me up! (Love Illy)....more importantly, on your recommendation, I have my tickets for the British Grand Prix. Heading from the US to see the spectacle.....can't wait. Hope you will be able to go this year and share your experience with us!!

Well...as a matter of fact, I CAN tell you are excitede for me, Stephi! Fun stuff, huh. I have an office in London so there once every couple months (love UK..yes, yes I know there are problems...I have learned there are problems are everywhere). But never during the British GP I just got me general admission with bells and whistles for infield and Fast Track entrance and I bet I'll find a spot. And, sadly, I HAVE experienced the Illy Peril. But if you love it enough, you just gotta pull! Enjoy!!

The heat is making me too lethargic to do anything, baking included. Great newsletter, though!

Steph,

The noodle salad was delicious. I had almost all the ingredients. Motivated me to go to the store to get Sirachi sauce. Glad I did. Had enough salad for leftovers for lunch the next day. Yum. Scott
