I picked a small (49 grams) tomato today, sliced it up really thin and we both had it on sandwiches.
This was definitely a Defiant tomato and was the best hydroponic tomato I've grown so far. There are a lot of Defiants on the vines, and while they aren't getting much larger than this one was, they'll be tasty.
I had meatloaf, Diane had beanie-weenie.
I've been happy with most of what I've bought at Aldi's, sometimes the produce isn't as fresh as I'd like, though. I haven't bought a lot of meats, but I do buy dairy there. They usually have a good price on eggs but NOBODY has a really good price on eggs these days. They carry a keto-friendly bread that is better than anything I've been able to bake. I also like their fig bars.
I suggested the half-hour idea on another forum and was raked over the coals by a lot of people, it would mess up a LOT of things. (But I still think it's a valid compromise.)
All my clocks are reset. I wish they would pick a time and stick with it.
That would require Congress to actually DO something, they spend all their time avoiding doing anything that they can get blamed for by voters and donors.
I made banana nut mini-muffins on Saturday.
I made peanut butter cookies today. Same recipe I've been using for a while, but Diane said they didn't taste very peanut buttery, I think COVID has dulled her sense of taste, I know mine is still a bit off.

Diane's appetite is starting to return, so I made meatloaf tonight.
I had a sandwich, Diane had peanut butter on toast. Her appetite hasn't bounced back from COVID yet, mine mostly has.
Pasteurization generally does disable some of the enzymes present in milk, but depending upon the pasteurization method used it may not disable all of them.

There are numerous recipes from sources like the Culinary Institute of America that still call for scalding milk even though all milk used in restaurants is pasteurized, presumably this is being done for a reason.
A late happy birthday, Joan.
We had some more of the vegetable beef soup for supper. Diane has hers with peanut butter, because that was the only way she was willing to eat vegetable soup when she was young.
I had some peanut butter and crackers, and I do have to agree it pairs well with vegetable beef soup.
I made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies on Saturday.
we had oatmeal for supper tonight.
She had soup again and I had a ham sandwich and a salad. She did get in a good nap this afternoon, too.
