Hi Reader,

I hope your August is going well! I'm enjoying the streak of near-perfect summer weather (for me!) we've been having - cool nights with days in the low to mid-80s.💜 We enjoyed it especially this last weekend with a family trip to a lake cabin in central Oregon - not only the good weather, but the absence of thick smoke! I hope your August has been going well.

Google sent me a report on my most popular recipes from the last 30 days - can you guess what they might be? If you thought something preserving, you're right on the money! I'm sharing these below, plus the updated recipe for my FAVORITE way to eat fresh corn when it's in season (really so good).

But October - that's the real transition month for us. The beginning of the month is typically still nice...
