Hot, Therefore Cold

It was quite hot and muggy today, and after a swim in the river Milo and I needed something light yet satisfying. The zucchini are going off again, so I made them into "noodles" with the saladacco and churned a thick, yummy sauce of fresh and dried tomatoes, pine nuts, pesto, and oil in the food processor. With a lovely cold glass of Les Domaniers Puits de Moret Côtes de Provence rosé (the Ott acquisition, which blindfolded I might guess was a chardonnay) it filled us up and scoffed at the heat. Being able to navigate the full spectrum from raw and vegan food to homemade pork paté- depending on ingredients, weather, and occasion- is to my mind one of the keys to great eating.
