      Not in the oven, but on the grill. I made flatbread rounds, and used KAF Formaggio in the dough. Oh, yes, I did make two loaves of whole wheat bread this morning also.

        Chicken on the grill, a sparagus, leftover zucchini casserole, and leftover broccoli salad. Not much cooking, mostly just reheating!

          I'm back from Maine and cooking again! I had a sweet Italian sausage and a salad. My husband had his sausage with baked beans from a can. This morning I made a rhubarb "cake", my husband's choice. I do not like it, would much prefer a cobbler. Tomorrow I think I'll make a cobbler - and he can have some of it if he wants!!!

            I have oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in the oven as I write this. They will go to Maine with me tomorrow for our snacks. I'm looking forward to some time away from cooking and gardening. Sorry, Joan, the lemon blueberry muffins are gone, none left to go with me!

              Lemon-Blueberry muffins smell so good! I sprinkled lemon crumbles on the tops before baking.

                That's great, Len! We had a Reliant peach about 30 years ago, but it never fruited; we are at the limits of it's cold temperature tolerance.

                  Just back from a week in Maryland, where I had a nice visit with Skeptic! I also met a few "new" people who love to talk baking and shopping at KABC! To help all of us justify using lots of chocolate in our recipes, let me explain that chocolate is a healthy food. After all it comes from a bean, and beans are vegetables, and vegetables are a very healthy food, right?

                    My husband rototilled our asparagus yesterday, before the stalks have started to emerge; it is usually around June 1st before we harvest any. However, the fiddleheads are above ground now so folks who like those are picking and eating them. Tomorrow I will plant lettuce, spinach, and peas before I leave for the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival, where I hope to meet up with Skeptic again!

                      I made two loaves of whole wheat-rye bread this morning. This afternoon I made Joan's recipe for Lemon Oatmeal Sugar Cookies. However, my Breville countertop oven seemed to not bake correctly, as the tops were not cooked but the bottoms were brown. It appears the top bulbs are not working. It did seem to be fine for baking the bread earlier, which is cooked through. Bread is not as fussy as cookies! And the cookies are delicious!

                        We had quesadillas for dinner - leftover pork, onions, sweet red peppers, and cheddar.

                          I just printed out the recipe Joan posted for Lemon Oatmeal Sugar Cookies. They look so good - I'll be making them tomorrow morning. I've been making some similar, just adding lemon and oatmeal to another recipe. Thanks, Joan, for enabling me! Lemon is a favorite flavor of mine, and oatmeal makes sugar cookies healthy, right?

                            Today I made two small (7") cheesecakes, a maple and a chocolate. I'll freeze the chocolate one for next week.

                              Dinner tonight was chicken thighs on the grill, along with grilled potato chunks and the last zip-lock bag of last year's asparagus. We'll have fresh asparagus from the garden in 6-8 weeks.

                                I made Blueberry Pie Bars for a potluck.

                                  Why pick on tomatoes? What about a tariff on, say, okra? There is a large hydroponic tomato farm with year-round delicious tomatoes about one mile from my house - no tariffs there. But thinking about prepared salsa, ketchup, soups, sauces. . . . staples that most folks purchase regularly.
