Nothing sweet about it... have to visit the Time Travel Kitchen for that! But yes, for heat, it's good.

Thank you for including the recipe! My mouth was watering when I read about your cold tomato spaghetti, and I thought, "Drat! I am going to have to bug her and ask for the recipe!" But thankfully, you posted it. Sounds perfect for this week. Also, love your tip of getting up early and writing outside.

En plein air is not just for painters! When hiking I carried my smallest notebook, and filled pages, Mt Baker on one side of me and Mt Shiksan on the other. It does not get better!

I've always found the 3 Day Novel contest awkwardly placed, which is why I've only done it once (though I got a handwritten scribble on the letter they sent out afterwards saying I had made it a couple rounds!). We often only get two warm and dry long weekends a year and Labour Day is usually one or them so I prefer a last hurrah before the cool air of fall.

So good about the handwritten scribble!

But yes, agreed, about the timing. Maybe May long weekend would be better. Or something in the dead of winter...
