      I'm making an Eclipse Cake for dessert tonight. Will is making pizza and we're having friends for dinner. So I won't be baking pie today or tomorrow.

          I made a recipe for a French lentil salad from Barefoot Contessa. She used kielbasa which she just sliced without warming up to the warm lentils. I used Portuguese chorizo the I sliced and warmed in a pan. We really enjoyed it. Her accompaniment was toasted baguette with herb goat cheese. Ours was toasted sourdough with Brie (it was on sale)

            BakerAunt, I keep a bookmark to the King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart. It lists a lot of ingredients that I'm often curious about regarding weight and cups, etc. It lists the cups (sometimes ¼ or ½ cups but all you have to do is double) ounces and grams. I find it helps me with my visuals.

            For example it lists ½ a cup of olive oil so if I need say 1/3, I'll double the grams then divide by 3. It works for me.

              Italiancook, if you’re looking for something different to do with the cherry tomatoes, they’re great either sautéed or roasted, sometimes called burst tomatoes.

              Burgers, oven fried sweet potatoes and salad both last night and tonight.

                I’m making tomato soup from the Barefoot Contessa to go with grilled cheese on freshly baked sourdough

                  Asparagus was on sale so I got some to make a penne pasta with Alfredo sauce and Tuscan chicken sausage. I added a little Brie to the sauce. We both enjoyed it and have dinner for tomorrow

                    last night we had leftover homemade pizza. Tonight I made a chef's salad with homemade thousand island dressing. the salads greens are a mix of leftover spinach, Bibb and cilantro that I'm adding a small head of romaine to. Mix ins are turkey, ham and Swiss from the deli, cucumbers, carrots, tomato and hearts of palm (those were on sale).

                      Yesterday, I made a slow cooker carrot & chickpea tagging. It was a little bland, but Will doctored up the leftovers so we will eat some and freeze some. Last night we had it with couscous and sautéed baby boy choi. Not sure what I'll have for my greens with it tonight.

                      Tomorrow Will will make pizza (he has a friend visiting for a couple of days) with his sourdough crust and homemade pizza sauce made with tomatoes frozen from the garden last summer. He likes to make several smaller ones with different toppings - a cheese, BBQ chicken and vegetarian.

                      Happy Birthday to your husband, Joan!

                        The ramen was really good, BA. I like to use the brown rice and millet ramen noodles from Lotus. You can order a big bag from Amazon. It’s a better deal than Thrive Market. I always try to find other resources before I order from Amazon, but sometimes . . .

                        Will made roasted potatoes and broccoli with homemade quest sauce, only this time it was cheddar with a little bit of havarti and no peppers. It was really good and we have leftovers.

                          I made garlic butter ramen with fried eggs. The recipe has chopped spinach in it. It was good comfort food for a chilly night. Low 40s is cold here 🙂

                            The lettuce, arugula, kale and box choi have all sprouted. We are still waiting for the carrots and the nasturtiums.

                              Last night I made an Alfredo pasta with roasted broccoli. I sautéed chicken sausages to go with it for Will who wanted meat with dinner. All I wanted was the pasta. A nice warm dinner.

                                Depending on the vege, some you can keep year round, but for summer veges transplanting around end of February-mid March. We gave up the community garden plot at the end of last summer. We don’t know if we’ll be able to grow veges here because of the amount of sun, or lack thereof - great sun in spring, not so much in the summer - we have tall oaks and pines around us, so we have to find patches of sun.
