      I read an article recently suggesting using daikon radish instead of potato in potato salad, I'm hoping to try it soon.

        I'm making a small batch of blueberry mini-muffins tonight, if I have it right they'll be about 2 carbs each, including the blueberries.

          Plan for tonight is to pick up a rotisserie chicken at Sams.

              Nice looking pie.

                  We had burgers on the grill, Diane had hers without a bun, and we had salads.

                    Azure Standard has barley flour, it might be worth seeing if they've got a dropoff point near you.

                    They have an interesting business model, every two weeks or so they pack up orders into semis (including refrigerated/frozen items) and transport them to the local dropoff sites,where volunteers help unload the truck and then the customers load their orders into their vehicles.

                    Their flours tend to be whole grain and very finely ground, I got some semolina from them but it would be more accurate to call it whole grain durum flour as semolina is generally coarsely ground endosperm. I've also gotten rye berries and tapioca flour from them.

                    For us, the dropoff point is a nearby shopping center parking lot.

                      The same things happen with my elderberries every year, they're gone long before any of them are ripe. At least with the black raspberries we usually get a few cups worth, though this year will be down because we cut back the ones on the east side and it'll take them a year or two to regrow.

                      Last night Jack sat on the back patio for about 5 minutes, then walked around a bit, finding grass to nibble on and exploring the neighbor's driveway. If all he wants to do is sit on the patio, I'm ok with that.

                        we had salads with some leftover rotisserie chicken pieces, tomatoes and olives.

                          We had the rest of the lahvosh pizza and I had a salad.

                            We've got chocolate mint that we put in 27 years ago that is still all over the place!

                            There was some catnip on the east side of the lot two years ago, but I couldn't find any last night when I took Jack for a walk. (We're trying to leash-train him, and he's not sure about that but doesn't really struggle to get out of the harness.)

                              We had another lahvosh to use up, so we had another lahvosh pizza, half tonight, the other half probably tomorrow night. I put artichoke hearts, mushrooms, tomato slices (water pressed out), ham, mozzarella cheese, romano cheese and cream cheese on it. It was great.

                              I also had a salad.

                                I have all my tomatoes in. There was one that lost most of its leaves to some critter, probably a rabbit, so I put another plant in that cage, but the one that had gotten nibbled on is throwing out new leaves so that cage will just have two tomato plants in it.

                                I have about 30 leek plants growing, I put in some dill seeds but they take 2-3 weeks to germinate. I'm still looking for a good place to put some catnip seeds.

                                I need to get my sweet corn for the soil test program in soon.

                                  We had salads with tuna fish and a hard boiled egg.

                                  Jack (the new cat) loves tuna water. He ignored the piece of hard boiled egg.
