We had steak on the grill plus some of the tomato/zucchini casserole tonight.
The new pressure canner worked well, all the jars sealed and using it on an induction cooktop meant the kitchen didn't get as hot as it does heating a 24 quart pot of water to a full boil and processing the jars for 45 minutes.
Only thing I forgot to do was that I didn't put some vinegar in the canner, so I had to wipe the jars down because they had some calcium buildup on the outside.
I've got 5 quarts of tomato juice in the pressure canner, first batch using it instead of hot water canning.
We had some of the tomato-zucchini casserole for supper, a relatively light supper but still satisfying.
I didn't get the tomatoes processed and juice canned today, I'll try to get that done on Monday.
We had salami and tomato sandwiches tonight, it's tomato season!
We had just a little of the zucchini-tomato casserole left, so we heated it and had it with hot dogs. The pairing worked surprisingly well.

The recipe is a bit imprecise, but it worked fairly well. The next time I make it, if I wind up using some of the larger zucchini I'm going to quarter the slices.
Whipping the egg whites and folding in the egg foam should make for a somewhat lighter cake.
Your Berries and Cream cake sounds a lot like a clafoutis.
Dinner tonight will be tuna melts
Another batch of peanut butter cookies is on the list for today.
I've got a myweigh scale I will probably have to replace soon, the control panel is developing a problem. But I've had it for a number of years.
Is that the 'Grilled Asiago Rounds' recipe from KABC? That's been on my to-do list for a while.
I'm making semolina bread today.
We're doing tacos/nachos tonight.
These days I would worry about being exposed to mosquito and tic-borne diseases in your berry patch.
CDC estimates that 450,000 Americans may have Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a reaction to most red meat which is linked to tic bites.
We know two people who essentially had to retire from their professions due to Lyme Disease, another tic-borne illness.
