When we went to Campanile on Saturday night, Jay the General Manager had a taste a sparkling red wine. It is very low in alcohol and excellent on a warm summer evenings. We purchased a bottle at Silverlake Wine. It was a perfect aperitif!

When we ate at Campanile we had some extra Green Beans that we brought home. We had made a Salad with Sun Gold Tomatoes, Buratta Cheese from the Cheese Store of Silverlake, Lettuce, Pesto, and the green beans. We eat salads like this all summer, based on what is freshest at the market.

We had purchased corn (tasting it raw first this time, to get the sweetest corn at the market. We then made Corn Pasta with Pancetta from Cheese Store of Silverlake. The recipe is from the Zuni Café Cookbook.

We had fresh Cherries once again for dessert. They claim they are almost at the end of the season. An article in The Los Angeles Times food section said the cherry harvest this year was very poor. We didn’t notice it. There were always lots of cherries at the farmer’s market.
