So here we are in August. How did that happen? Every year I ask myself that same question. I look down woefully at my summer bucket list and scold myself for all the boxes left unticked. But this year, that isn’t the case. I kept my list sensibly short due to the COVID of it all. I figured there was no point in grand plans when even a trip to a grocery store requires more than its fair share of forethought. Initially, I was bummed but now that I’m more or less free of mid-summer blues, I’m thinking a small, manageable agenda is what I should’ve been doing all along. I mean, it’s easy to get the most out of summer when all you want are cold beers in the backyard and this Watermelon Fava Bean Salad.
