        I marinated chicken thighs which my husband cooked on the grill along with roasting potatoes. We also had the last of the garden's asparagus and a green salad with lettuce and spinach from a planter on the deck. Today I planted Early Girl and Amish paste tomatoes in the garden.

            That looks so yummy, Joan. Carrot cake is my favorite.

                My last cat (of 19 years) did not get up on the counters except to watch the asparagus (and only asparagus, not other veggies/foods) going round and round in the microwave. Jus waiting for it to be done so he could have his share. And he'd snag it off the plate if you didn't feed it to him fast enough. He did not eat human food, except for asparagus and tuna juice - only the juice, not tuna fish.

                  Dinner tonight was assorted salads: leftover potato salad; spinach with mushrooms, bacon, red onion; bowties with spinach, black olives, goat cheese; and deviled eggs.

                    We had chicken sausage with grilled peppers and onions on burger buns.

                      Oh, yes, there is a huge difference between farm/home and commercial eggs. I love the eggs a friend often gifts me. I prefer to use them poached, or egg salad - some way I can appreciate the bright orange color. That orange does not show up well in a baked item! Of course, I do keep close tabs on the sizing -- home-grown range from mini to extra large within a one dozen container! Large eggs at the grocery were 2.55 last week! But I already had 3 dozen from my friend.

                          My husband had leftover seafood salad, and I had a green salad with lots of veggies and slivers of cheddar.

                            I have planted peas and cucumbers in hanging baskets; an experiment, hoping the vines will produce well growing down instead of up. I have a large, waist-high planter with lettuce and spinach, up about 2 inches, almost ready to eat. And I planted 3 rows of bush beans (green) in the second planter. Yesterday I potted up a SuperSweet 100 cherry tomato in a large pot. I need my husband to rototill the in-ground garden and put up the electric fence before I plant there.

                              I made burger buns this morning. To save time, I baked two pans (KAF bun pans) of them in the Breville countertop oven, one below the other. I never bake two levels of anything, in the Breville or the Jennair, because they just don't bake up right. This the result; bun on the left was baked on the top rack, bun on the right baked below it.

                                Our Baltimore Orioles eat the oranges faster than I can get to the store to buy more! The rose breasted Grosbeaks also like them. Soon, I start giving them cheap grape jelly, and once they taste those, they won't eat the oranges. The bluebirds in the bird house closest to my studio window either have eggs or are feeding babies. We don't have rabbits, but today I planted a SuperSweet100 cherry tomato; our resident chipmunks love to pick and eat the tomatoes, but peel them first and leave the peels in various plant pots.

                                  I hope the antibiotic will help him to heal quickly.
