This Caprese Grilled Chicken dish pairs boneless, skinless bird with torn wedges of fresh mozzarella cheese and basil oil. It’s a summery concoction that adds a delicious touch of acidity and sweetness by adding a quick pickle topping of cherry tomatoes. The halved tomatoes take about 25 minutes to prepare, most of that time unsupervised with tomato halves resting in a pleasing brine that stars white balsamic vinegar. White balsamic vinegar is made from the same Trebbiano grape as dark balsamic vinegar. The white vinegar has a milder, less sweet taste than its darker counterpart.

The annual Perseid meteor shower, which NASA has called the best meteor shower of the year — and which inspired John Denver to write “Rocky Mountain High” more than 50 years ago — is underway now. It’s expected to peak Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. The astronomical show often generates as many as 50 to 75 shooting stars per hour over California and much of the United States.

The FBI is warning people of a new scam involving fake packages with QR codes designed to steal data. If people scan the code on a package they were not expecting, it prompts them to provide personal and financial information. They also might download malicious software that steals data from their phones, according to an FBI scam alert issued late last month. The criminals often ship the package without sender information to entice the victims to scan the code. The fake packages, while not widespread, are a variation of a “brushing scam,” which is used by online vendors to increase…
