Caviar to go. What's not to love? inquirer.com/food/restaurant…

Need a midday bump of caviar? There's a kiosk for that now

Biederman's, the specialty grocery, has set up a sidewalk shop selling caviar, tinned fish, and accoutrements. Hold out your hand for a "bump" of osetra.

I might have overdone it a bit at the farmers' market today while gathering late-summer tomatoes. (And don't even ask me about corn - or cucumbers, or peppers, or eggplant, or green beans ... and so much more.) Summer's bounty is such a gift, even as the season wanes.
