      I made burger buns early this morning, before it heated up; 95 here.

        We had chicken fajitas, with sides of summer squash and cucumbers in place of the more traditional beans, rice and guacamole. However, the margarita was authentic!

            Dinner tonight was chicken kebobs, corn on the cob, steamed summer squash, and cukes.

              Joan, it is amazing! Not very healthy, but the flavor is fantastic! Please try it, and let me know what you think. Use any fruit, but blueberry is my favorite.

                I have planted Table Queen in the past -- it's a variety of acorn squash. I just halve and bake it, put a little butter in the cavity, and eat it from the shell. I never ruin my squash by adding anything else to it! LOL You eat cooked squash skin?

                  We had pork kebobs, corn on the cob, and the last of the potato salad and cole slaw.

                    I've posted the recipe for Berries and Cream Cake in the Recipes forum. BakerAunt, I think you'll need to make quite a few modifications; the fat content is high, but that is what makes it so tasty! Mike, I think a clafoutis is more like a Dutch Baby, as that has quite a few eggs and no butter, but is also a great way to eat berries. Enjoy!

                      Today I made a Berries and Cream Cake, one of my absolute most favorite desserts. It's not really a cake, more like a cheesecake, but not really a cheesecake. It's baked in a 10" springform pan. The crust is like a shortbread, then a quart of berries (I used blueberries, and next will be blackberry, then a raspberry, and I plan to try a peach) poured into the crust. A filling of sour cream, sugar, egg, vanilla is poured over all of this. It's not very sweet, but the fruit just takes the flavor over the top! I got the recipe from a local newspaper recipe contest many, many years ago. About 5, maybe 10 years later, KAF published it online as their recipe. My original newspaper copy says nothing about KAF. I noticed today, as I searched to compare their recipe to the original, that it is no longer on their website. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to post it here.

                        Dinner was omelets, with ham, cheese, peppers, and onion; and English muffins. Tropical storm Isaias has arrived! Winds are now 30's mph, rain, some heavy and some not so much. I expect we'll lose power soon, as there are reports of numerous trees down.
                        Tornado warnings, but nothing sighted so far.

                          burgers and corn on the cob!

                            We had salmon, cole slaw, steamed zucchini and summer squash, potato salad and tomatoes from the garden.

                              I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom, cwcdesign. Not being able to visit makes it so much more difficult to cope with. My thoughts are with you.

                                It says they are one use -- I suspect they could be used more than once, like for cookies, scones, etc. just as parchment can be reused? You probably would not want to re-use it if it had "collected grease", as is mentioned. Re-use would make it more affordable.

                                  I hate the one-way signs in the grocery store, although I understand the need for one-way aisles. Another good thing about the special shopping hours for mature people, etc., is with very few shoppers in the store, it's easy to slip down the aisle the wrong way, especially if you just want something at this end. I don't need to go down every aisle in the store, and with mobility issues, I don't want to cover any "extra" territory. I've stood there trying to figure out how to cover my shopping list when all the aisles from where I stand are "exit" aisles!
