I have the first two tomato plants, either Italian Hierloom or Defiance (I'm not sure which, though I'm about 80% sure they're Defiance), in the DWC hydroponics system. I think I finally got one Celebrity and one Better Bush to sprout, but it'll be a couple of weeks before they've got enough roots to be moved to the hydroponics system.
Hopefully I've got the pH and nutrients in proper ratios and appropriate schedules set up for the drip irrigation and grow lights. If not, I may have to start more seedlings.
More Ossi Di Morti, these are the original recipe but I somewhere along the line I think I messed up and I wound up adding a lot more flour in order to get a dough that would roll out.
Each cookie weighs 5-6 grams, has just under 5 grams of carbs (wheat flour is about 75% carbs and sugar is 100% carbs, so that seems to make sense) and about 30 calories.
I made a small batch of ossi de morti (bones of the dead) almond cookies tonight, just to see how well the recipe works. I baked them at a lower temperature than normal (around 280) so that they'd dry out more, and am pleased they didn't lose their shape.
For a low-carb cookie (made with almond meal, Carbalose and Splenda) the taste is pretty good. I think I might increase the amount of almond extract but that's a tricky ingredient, too much overwhelms the rest of the cookie.
