Thank you, Susan! I'm so glad you commented--I really enjoyed reading your comments about farming and organic eggs over on the Kitchn. I really love your blog! I admire what you are doing on your farm so much.

What a great combination of flavors (and colors!) in your kitchen sink salad. I just harvested the first basil from my garden - now all I have to do is plant another crop of radish seeds and wait for the tomatoes and corn. : )

The melon salad looks wonderful, too. I never would have thought to pair cucumbers and melon with basil and cheese, but I bet it's really refreshing. I just

Hi, Zac! Both of these would transport pretty well for lunches. I actually ate the melon salad last week at my desk.

Can I just say wow?

Thanks, Sophie!

Laura: It is! The saltiness goes so well with the sweet melon.

Ellen: Hello, my dear! Yes, watermelon is just as good with this. I make a similar salad with watermelon and feta: http://www.adinnerparty.net/2008/06/too-hot-to-cook.html

Hey Lisa, it's Ellen! These salads look delish! Would the second one work OK with watermelon? Sadly, that's the only melon I really like.

I did a kitchen sink pasta the other day...everything in my fridge! I love the idea of the feta and melon, I bet that's a lovely contrast.

TSG: Yes, I love your version.

WBA: Thanks for reading! I couldn't agree more.

Daniel: I agree. Something with jello--or, better yet, aspic! Thanks for cropping that second image, btw. It's more of an appetite suppressant.

Victoria: Good call.

I think that second "swimsuit" would have to be some kind of Jello salad...

Well, we're in the same frame of mind these days! I'm loving cucumbers right now, so I'm absolutely making the melon salad with them this weekend - thanks!
