Summer weather here in D.C. can get very very hot! When that happens, I often like to make very refreshing and light dishes for dinner.

4 - Ready to Cook Salmon Burger ( you can find it at major grocery seafood dept.)
1/4 cup - Asian Style BBQ Sauce
4 - Leaves green leaf lettuce
What to Do:
1. Toss cucumber, onion, and rice vinegar in a large bowl. Drain, discarding liquid. Chill Veggies, covered, until ready to serve, at least 30 min and up to 3 hours.
2. When ready to serve: Using soft cloth, coat grill grate lightly with vegetable oil. Place burgers on grill; reduce heat to MEDIUM. Brush top of burgers with BBQ.

Vintage West Germany Mint Green and Modern Black and Gold Necklace
One of my latest creation! It's one of my favorite.
Both Modern and retro! Just simply beautiful!
The beautiful mint green beads are vintage and they were made from west Germany. Gorgeous carved teardrop bead is black with a detailing gold inlay, which measures 27x18mm.
This necklace is about 36 inches long. Long enough to slip over your head without the need for a clasp. That's what I love about this necklace! Very easy to put on and take off!
