Head of Lettuce

When I was in Bhutan earlier this year, my group was fortunate enough to be there for the Paro Sunday market. People come from all over the countryside to sell their fruits and veggies.

I presume this woman was keeping her head cool by keeping a lettuce leaf on her head. I loved it!

I love market photos! What a great picture.
My post is a recipe for pasta with pancetta, arugula and pecorino based on a pasta I had last year in Rome.

This looks very similar to our markets here, even the types of veggies!

My link is to a post on using the gourmet sandwich menu theme as an idea for group dinners at hostels. What I would love is for folks to stop by and suggest different ingredient pairings that would fit a variety of countries and locations, based on what would be available there. For example, I noticed avacados were really affordable when we were in Peru, so pairing them with other veggies and cheeses might be a fun combo. Or using baba ganoush as an alternative sandwich spread in the Middle East. All ideas are welcome.

Kristina, your recipe sounds amazing. I’m heading over to your URL to check it out right now.

Well, if an energy crisis hits and we lose our air conditioning, I’ll know what to do midsummer! Great photo :-)
