I have a Lodge cast iron pizza pan and love how pizza or focaccia dough bakes on it - crispy bottoms. I haven't tried any sweet focaccia, but have a recipe that calls for halved grapes on top, and I'm tempted to try that. Grapes might not be as juicy as plums.
We had Philly cheese steak sandwiches and corn on the cob.
Len, gorgeous tomatoes and peppers! What variety of peppers is seedless? I've never heard of seedless peppers. Do you know how they are propagated?
Our dinner was grilled Greek chicken breasts, leftover potato salad, and corn on the cob - our first of the season. But not from our garden - we have not grown it for years, because the racoons always got into it the night before it was ripe.
That's good to hear about your sister, Joan. I'm sure she's more comfortable in the nursing home than the hospital.
We've cancelled our two-week trip to the midwest, making a very last minute decision the night before we were to leave. The latest data on the Covid surge along with some extreme new restrictions helped us to decide to stay home where it is a bit safer.
And then today our AC stopped working. We have a heat pump with three wall units. We were able to connect with the company's emergency technician who located the problem, but needs to order a part on Monday. I'm so glad this didn't happen until today, as the weather is changing and the temperatures dropping. The last three days have been 94, 96, and 96, with humidity ranging from 80-99%. And, we had stored our old window AC in the basement, so my husband hauled that out and we have it running. However, it is a smaller btu unit, so probably would not handle the higher temps effectively.
Tonight we had grilled chicken thighs, potato salad, and a green salad from the garden.
What a beautiful dress! Perfect choice of fabric pattern for a flower girl's dress.
Yes, Skeptic, candied peels is a great dry cold weather project! I had quite a few oranges leftover from feeding the Baltimore Orioles earlier this summer. You can also freeze the peels in zip lock bags until you have enough to bother with the process.
This morning I made a big pot of chili, before the temperature rose to 96* this afternoon. I'm leaving town for 2 weeks, and my husband asked me to make some for his meals. Otherwise, making chili is too hot a project for these days.
Thanks, cwcdesign! I will make it soon.
Yesterday I made candied orange peel, using a recipe and detailed instructions from Mrs. Chiu on the old Baking Circle. I keep them in the freezer, and use in muffins, coffeecakes, etc whenever I want an orange or tropical fruit flavor, and in the much loved (or dreaded) Christmas fruit cake.I made a blackberry pie.
cwc, I'll have to try that recipe. Looks like a good way to clean out the refrigerator!
Mike, please tell your wife I send my best wishes for a quick recovery with no surgery needed. Shoulder issues are so painful and debilitating.
I made Ellen's burger buns.
We had chicken patties, french fries, and summer squash and zucchini.
