We had tacos tonight.
Sweet and sour is kind of a classic pairing, but I'm not planning to run out to buy Oreos just to try it.
It's a little cooler here today than yesterday, mid 80's. Burgers on the grill is the plan.
I've made stuffing with gluten-free cornbread, it was pretty good. But the Pepperidge Farm Herbed Cubes are the gold standard here.
We had takeout Chinese sitting on the back patio. It hit 92 here today, but it is cooling off nicely this evening.
My wife heard from our older son but not from our younger son. He has been absorbed into the Google universe and these days doesn't even respond to texts. We only know he's still alive because sometimes he plays Minecraft online with our granddaughter.
We picked up dinner at the Farmer's market and on the way home. Nothing fancy, but we do have some nice strawberries for dessert that I bought yesterday. I was thinking about making a Charlotte sponge cake but I can't find my Charlotte pan.
We had burgers on the grill and some pie.
We had salads with tuna fish and some potato (sweet for her, baked for me.)
The Wall Street Journal has a story running today about how Brazilian farmers are looking to tropical strains of wheat as wheat prices soar. These are also high yield and high protein (15%) strains.
I'm working on my sweet potato pie, not sure if I'll get it baked tonight or tomorrow.
Take out pizza and lasagna here tonight.
We've had 2 1/2 inches of rain in the last week, after having nearly none for most of April. The grass, or what's left of it, is happy to see the rain.
We're having leftover french herbed chicken and my wife is baking several large sweet potatoes, some to eat, some for me to make a sweet potato pie with.
I baked off the second half of the punitions, and played around with them a bit, putting chocolate chips or half a Hershey bar pip on them, and then I put a lid on some of them to make sandwich cookies.
