      I made chocolate pudding for Diane this afternoon, she had a crown come off last night and the molar underneath was cracked, so she had it extracted today and is on soft foods for a few days.

          I started the left Aerogarden today with Salanova, Buttercrunch and Black Seeded Simpson lettuce.

          I'll wait a couple of weeks before starting the right one, probably also with an all- lettuce crop, though not Salanova unless I order more seed from Johnny's, as I finished off the seed I had.

            With the possible exception of Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake, I tend to keep frosting to a moderately thin layer, even a cream cheese frosting like on a carrot cake. It always cracks me up when I see pictures of cupcakes with frosting that is more than half of the total height of the cupcake.

                Our black raspberry season is winding down as well, I forgot to pick yesterday and there were only a handful of berries worth picking today, a number of them had dried out.

                  We had tuna melt on the L'Oven Fresh keto bread. Dinner was 9 net carbs. πŸ™‚

                    We had a KC strip steak, with a small baked potato and some sauteed mushrooms.

                        I had a tomato and salami sandwich on the L'Oven Fresh keto wheat bread, and we both had half of a Thomas keto Bagel Thin with some cream cheese. (Diane had ham on hers as well.)

                        The Thomas Bagel Thins aren't bad, they at least remind me of a bagel in taste, if not texture, but bagel thins tend to lose some of the bagel texture anyway.

                          We had tuna salad on lettuce tonight. Jack had some of the tuna water, of course.

                            I'd be interested in knowing if there has been research on whether ascorbic acid has different effects than other acids, like vinegar.

                                Jack has been coming in during the day and going out around sundown, but there have been three times when I've let him back in for a while after midnight because a fox was barking loudly at him. He'll go back out again after a half-hour or so.

                                Last night I let Jack in and the fox was pretty much right behind him heading towards the back door, so I yelled at the fox and he turned around and ran away.

                                I'm hoping this doesn't become a nightly occurrence, as I'm still not sure we can trust the cat indoors overnight after we've gone to bed. It may be that the fox is just protecting the young ones, in which case that may change when they go out on their own. But even when we didn't have a cat that went outside sometimes the fox would stand on the patio and bark.

                                Here he is on one of his favorite napping places, the treadmill.

                                  We had salami and tomato sandwiches on the keto white bread, that bread will make tomato season a lot more enjoyable.
