I baked two loaves of my Buttermilk Whole Wheat Grape Nuts Bread. I am still making minor changes to the recipe. I have realized that it is a good idea not to let the Grape Nuts Soak in the buttermilk for too long, as the bread I produced last time was a bit gummy. These loaves look good, so I look forward to slicing one tomorrow. I will freeze the other one.
Yes, the pizza party was fun! Maybe we need a cinnamon roll party?

They usually like our flowers, and our neighbor has a large hanging flower basket to attract them. Perhaps we should put out a feeder.
One of these days we should try another virtual meeting. Perhaps high tea?
Lovely presentation, Len, and I bet that it tasted delicious.
I baked Blueberry Cobbler on Wednesday. I have almost used up all the blueberries from our second picking trip that I did not freeze. I have enough for some muffins in a couple of days.
Thanks for the good wishes.

Thank you, Chocomouse. Best Wishes on your anniversary--and on all the family celebrations! It is so good to be able to have them again.
Tuesday was a lovely, cool day, ideal for baking. I baked Maple Granola, Oat Cakes, Zucchini Muffins, and Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from the dough I made a week ago.
Thank you for the good wishes!
I did not bake again today to avoid heating the house. It should be cooler tomorrow. If not, I will see what else I can bake in the countertop oven.
We started today with heat and humidity, then some rain arrived in the late afternoon. We are having some thunder with it now.
We had leftovers, but I roasted more potatoes with Penzey's Sunny Paris to go with them.
We had several short rainstorms this afternoon, which were welcomed as it was hot and humid. We are having a pleasant, open the windows evening.
For our anniversary dinner, I made Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin, roasted Kennebec potatoes tossed in olive oil and Penzey's Sunny Paris, and microwaved fresh green beans from our garden. We had more blueberry tart for dessert.
I made Cornmeal-Pumpernickel Waffles for breakfast on Sunday in honor of our twelfth wedding anniversary.
I don't think that I could handle such a high hydration dough. If you try it, Mike, I will be reading about it with interest.
I baked a blueberry tart on Saturday in my countertop convection oven. I used a three-quarter recipe of my Buttermilk-Oil Crust. For the filling, I used the filling in Dorie Greenspan's Blueberry Galette recipe (from her online site). I replaced the grated zest of a lime, which I do not have, with grated zest of lemon, and I increased the cornstarch by half a teaspoon.
I made salmon and couscous with Penzey's Greek Seasoning for dinner tonight. We had it with microwaved fresh green beans from our garden. It is another hot, humid day, so I used the countertop convection oven.
I have a hard time getting my husband to eat eggplant. Usually, at this time of year, I have some tomatoes. If I did, I would make ratatouille for me. I've seen a recipe somewhere for making a spread for eggplant for crackers, etc., but I cannot recall where.
To go with leftover turkey-zucchini loaf and coleslaw, I roasted sone Kennebec potato chunks tossed in olive oil and Penzey's Chicago Steak blend.
All this talk and baking of cinnamon rolls is making me want some....
