If not for the plantains at the end of their shelf life, I wouldn't cook today at all. It's 110 F and neither of us have much appetite in this heat. So tomato slices, English cucumbers, red onion, oregano, salt, pepper, dressed with olive oil and vinegar. K adds torn romaine to hers, and I add chick peas and artichoke hearts to mine. With a side of fried plantains.
