Fit for a Queen

Marc Johns.crown

Yesterday morning, I went early to the Farmer’s Market, and scored big. For the first time this season, there were good cherry tomatoes. I also bought my first melon of the summer and some beautiful white and yellow corn. Last night for dinner, I grilled my bounty – including red peppers, and baby carrots, which I glazed in a balsamic vinaigrette. Accompanied by my nightly chilled martini, it was a perfect meal. I treated myself like royalty, because I deserve it.

    Do you grill indoors? I’m just curious if you use a stove-top grill pan. I wish I had the inspiration to cook.

      I have a grill on the patio. When I bought my condo, being able to grill was high on the wish list. Living in L.A. I use the grill all year round. My mother loved to cook, and I’m sure I got the bug from her. (My brother’s an avid cook as well.)
