Oh Vicki, that salad sounds divine, as does that peach-picking adventure with you friend! I’ve never tried pairing peaches and buffalo mozzarella, but I can taste it on my tongue from your description. Your painting is just lovely too! Feels like summer’s last hurrah.
What a beautiful painting this is, Vicki. And being able to pick up fresh buffalo mozzarella at a local creamery sounds absolutely dreamy. Now I’m craving some!
Yes, there is! There are several local varieties, mostly fresh white cheeses from cow’s milk. We do have water buffalo in Egypt, so we are lucky that we can get excellent fresh mozzarella in grocery stores…though I’m not sure how local it is. I don’t know of any herds here in Cairo, but you can’t rule it out! 🤣
Very much enjoyed reading your missive, there's something so calming to it, perhaps the imaginary sceneries that it evokes. Lovely ✨️

Thanks so much Ruth. This last hurrah is fast approaching!
I’d forgotten all about this delicate summer salad. Your recipe looks divine.
Beautiful art served both ways.
Thank you Amie!
I’d like the peach arugula basil mozzarella salad right now! 😋
I will be sorry to see peach season end!

Thank you, Samantha! It is nice to be able to go right to the source. Is there a history of cheese-making in Egypt?

Interesting!
Tastes great.
