      We’re having leftovers from the last 2 nights - tuna and chickpea salad 2 nights ago and pasta with homemade pesto - basil from the garden, roasted eggplant from the garden and tonight’s new addition is cherry tomatoes from the garden - that’s about all we have growing right now.

          I saw that. It’s an acquired taste that I never acquired

            I got home from work and Will was finishing up making tortillas! We’ve had trouble getting them at the Market, so he figured he try. He found a video on YouTube and they are really good. He said they were so easy he probably will keep making them

            I made KAF dark and dangerous mocha ice cream. Made the custard after work yesterday. Brought a large double chocolate cookie from the resort bake shop to crumble since I didn’t have time to make brownies.

            We heard fireworks 2 nights in a row. Our company did that to keep the numbers down at the beach club each night instead of the normal 4th mobs. The county cancelled all fireworks

              I made peanut noodles using linguine and finished off a bag of Normandy style vegetables from Birdseye that I’d stash3d in the fridge back in March. I chopped up the veggies and sautéed them to cook off the moisture. The were good, but with no protein we ate a lot and don’t have leftovers for tomorrow.

                Got it wrong - my dad would be proud I chose his favorite food

                    I was so exhausted from wrk n Wednesday, that Will cut up a sheet a full pan of veggies including a couple of Japanese eggplants from our garden. Then I baked them and cooked pasta, so hot dinner that night and then we had it as pasta salad last night.

                    Tonight I made some chicken salad and I brought home a baguette from work - no time for baking right now

                        Hi Mike - I followed Bobby Flay's recommendations in Bobby Flay's burgers more carefully than I ever have. I had about a pound of 93% hamburger (my favorite). Instead of making 4 burgers, I made 3, so they were about 5 ounces each. Bobby's are about 6 ounces. I made them between 1/2-3/4" - he said 3/4. I usually would cook them (I have a gas grill) at medium heat, but this time I started at medium high and then decided to really experiment and turned back to high which is his recommendation. 3 minutes first side, 3 minutes second side and then 1 minute for cheese. I let them rest for 5 minutes. I didn't cut into them and I didn't use my thermometer. Go figure. Simple is usually the best.

                        Oh, he said to put an indent with your thumb on one side because that helps with the shape. I seasoned them with salt and pepper and then brushed both sides with canola oil - again his recommendation.

                            Ooh - that does look good. Adding to my "to try" list. I really need things like that now. Thinking you could add chicken sausage or as they suggested, olives - yum - might even bring home some pimento cheese from work.

                              I got it with an educated guess. We had very old raspberry canes at our house in Marion.

                                On Saturday our company FINALLY required all members and guests to wear face coverings in all public spaces. We were given to put signs on our doors that say “Face Coverings Required” and we can can ask them to go get a mask if they come in without one. Back in March, the store had been rearranged so that you couldn’t come straight to the counter so we are able to enforce that as well. I’d say compared to last week and Saturday when 80% or more did not wear masks, almost everyone is now. But, those who don’t, it’s interesting.

                                A few people hav3 told me they don’t have masks - how could you not have one, or a bandana in this day and age. 2 men came in t9day and were looking at the menu and when I said they needed masks they said they didn’t have them and I said I was sorry they would have to leave. They were surprised we wouldn’t serve them anyway and acted as if it was our loss. 2 young women (late teens/early 20s) left nicely and came back with their masks. I thanked them and they apologized!
                                Most people are thanking us for taking care of them.

                                Our county numbers are skyrocketing - as of yesterday we were up to 547, but I know the number is higher today. My Mom’s place still has no cases and one of my coworkers dad is director of the other nursing home/assisted living and they have had no cases.
