Yes, it's August. This is what we've all been waiting for since that last icy cold January, but we never thought the sun and heat would bore a hole right into our souls and leave us so limp with perspiration and fatigue. Yup, love that summer. Drink plenty of water (including lots of beer and wine), indulge in the bounty of fruits and veggies of the season and don't even think about turning on that oven. In this month there's a bit of overlap - you can find a wonderful, locally grown tomato just as easy as you can find a perfect apple. Just throw in a bit of cheese and bread and you're set! (Don't forget the beer and/or wine.)
Section off enough BAGUETTE for an individual sandwich and slice open halfwise. Thinly slice half an APPLE and as much CHEDDAR CHEESE that you think will fit into the bread. Pull off enough leaves of BELGIAN ENDIVE to fill out the sandwich. Layer all the fillings into the sandwich and douse with a good pour of light ITALIAN DRESSING. Eat messy sandwich in the sun, wash down with a summer ale or crisp chenin blanc. Ahhh!
The sandwich fillings also make a great chopped salad if there isn't a baguette in sight. The cheddar can also be swapped out for gorgonzola, but since it makes the sandwich a bit heavier, it's probably best to wait for that cool spell in September we're dying for right now.
