do some take ways.
Put on a pot of rice (basmati or jasmine). Flavor it with


- a touch of cilantro


- a bay leaf


- extra-virgin olive oil


- a squirt of lemon


- some thin-sliced scallions


When it's ready, stir in a few capers.





While the rice is readying, get ready for easy grilled vegetables: Thick-cut some zucchini and/or yellow squash then halve and put onto a sheet of foil large enough to fold over the vegetables. Dust lightly with sea salt, drizzle with olive oil, thyme and basil (go a bit lighter on the thyme than the basil).





Get the microwave in on the action by steaming asparagus and red peppers -- don't even go al dente; think blanching so they still have an almost-raw crisp. If you need a dipping sauce, take equal parts of soy sauce and vinegar, add a bit of ginger and garlic (fresh is best but powdered has become a reliable friend).





Enjoy!
