We are heading to New Mexico for a few days but that doesnt mean the blog can rest - oh no! Hopefully I will get some much needed inspiration plus there are a few cool things happening that I can maybe tell you about in the next couple of weeks or so, I know, I hate when people do that too but sometimes you cant let the cat out of the bag.
Enjoy some more squash blossoms, I want to declare 2010 the summer of the flower!
Ajvar (roasted eggplant, roasted red peppers, roasted garlic) pesto and baby squash fried to perfection makes this summer on a plate. Oh and it case it slipped your mind - Mew Mexico is where my family has lived for over 350 years - its my "pais" my "homeland" its where I "hail from" - I LOVE going home.
UPDATE: We have standby tickets (dont ask, but if free helps answer any questions) so we didnt get on a flight starting at 6:00 am yesterday morning and every subsequent flight after that - so we will try again after the 23 when my schedule opens up again - we want to be able to stay more than 4 days. Argghhhhhhh! Yesterday Sucked!

Happy travels, happy cooking, happy developments, my friend. You know I'll be eagerly awaiting whatever you're able to share, whenever. But meanwhile, I'm just gosh darn jealous that you're going to New Mexico and I'm not :)
Have a safe and fun trip!!!!!
Have a wonderful and safe trip! We spent way too little time in New Mexico and have resolved to return for a proper visit some day soon.
The ajvar looks and sounds great!
It's been raining a lot in NM.. bring an umbrella! And it's almost green chili season, perhaps you'll be here for that! ;)
I need to get to a farmer's market for some of those blossoms. Have a great trip!
That dish is perfection on a plate - wow! Love that you fried the squash and flower intact - how beautiful. I would love a taste!
I've been to NM a lot before coming north. It's a good place to relax. Hope you have a wonderful time.
happy traveling and enjoy the local cuisine

Hope you have a wonderful time in New Mexico - I've always wanted to go there - but the furthest west I've ever been is Iowa - how sad is that?!

You flower child! Enjoy the trip, looking forward to some great dishes!!

Love New mexico - Land of enchantment. Hope you are enchanted. We've been eating blossoms all summer- raw, stuffed, sauteed, fried - it is sunshine on a plate.
so pleased you had fun back home
Sorry you missed your trip home, but I hope the free tickets and knowing you'll be able to go (hopefully) by the end of the month helps.
Your dish is lovely. Yumm! Summer of the flower. Love it! --{@
Brave you for flying stand-by but free I understand after seeing what I paid to get home this summer. Yipes! These squash blossoms look fabulously scrumptious! Hope you have a safe and fun trip home.
Ooooh, I love squash blossoms!! I hope you had or are having a nice trip :)
