Peach Caprese, Wine Spectator

CapreseLoI have subscribed to Wine Spectator for a number of years. I pick up the other wine publications in airports and such but have also enjoyed the Spectator most.

In the most recent issue cheese columnist Sam Gugino shared a recipe for “Summertime Peach Caprese.” I made it last night and my guests loved it. I thought it was pretty spectacular as well.

Think of the traditional tomato-salad version and you have it. My version is in the photo. I was tempted to mess a bit with the recipe but didn’t. Here you go:

SUMMERTIME PEACH CAPRESE

1 1/2 pounds peaches, peel if you wish (I didn’t)

1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut in half

1/4 cup equal parts mint and basil, packed

4 tablespoons of olive oil

Salt and black pepper

Cut the peaches and cheese into 1/4-inch slices. Overlap them on a platter. Tear the herbs into small pieces and sprinkle over the plate. Drizzle with oil, salt and pepper to taste.

We enjoyed some Franciscan Equilibrium (see below) and a nice Chablis during the salad. Crazy good! Thank you Wine Spectator!

Scan: ‘No Evidence of Disease Progression’

That’s a nice way to say it. Yesterday, Mar 27, I had a PET scan (nuclear medicine) to look for cancer after my 60-day CAR-T cancer treatment. The headine here was the second sentence in the technical and detailed report. I really didn’t need to read anymore. I am cancer free and now can wear […]

Fighting Disappointment, Wrist Pain

Most of the past week or so has been dealing with the disappointment. I ended my 60 days of restrictions from cell therapy cancer treatment. But I learned a severely broken wrist can even out do cancer. I fell Sunday Feb. 19 in an icy parking lot. I had surgery the following Wednesday then Thursday, […]
