dinner =

1 cup-ish cooked pasta
2 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
about 6 old-school-Christmas-tree-light sized tomatoes, cut up
1 Tbsp-ish bacon grease
a few shakes of Italian seasoning
a dash or two of balsamic vinegar
a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella for kicks

(accompanied by creamy cucumbers and homegrown watermelon)

yum.

creamy cucumbers

1 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip, mind you)
1/4 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
4 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced

In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, dill, and seasoned salt. Mix in the cucumber slices, tossing to coat.

mom's peach sangria

a very tasty summer drink:

1 bottle of sweet, white wine (Riesling is perfect)
3/4 c peach schnapps
2 diced peaches
seedless grapes--green or red, sliced in half (optional)

Mix, drink. It's better if you can let it sit in the fridge for a bit; the longer you do, the drunker the fruit gets.

Note: feel free to use a dry white wine, but then add up to 1/3 c sugar for balance
