Thyme for                         Cooking

Summer is coming to an end but we still have lots of beans, zucchini (courgette), a few tomatoes and the last of the sweet corn.  We're starting to use the oven more, and, soon, the grill will be retired for winter.   This menu uses Prosciutto on three nights, and Creamy Brie on two.

Friday:         Prosciutto and Basil Stuffed Tomatoes
Barbecued Salmon
Potatoes with Sage and Brie
Sautéed Courgette (Zucchini) and Celery

We're having our last rosado of summer, again from the Somotano region of Spain, a Vinas del Vero.  We're having a light local wine, Fiefs Vendéen with the Salmon.
