We had the 2nd half of yesterday's pizza, it gets even crisper when reheated in the oven.
Made a pizza tonight, using the King Arthur keto flour again. Pretty good, but it did stick to the pan a bit.
We shared a T-bone steak, and I had some salad from the Aerogarden, Diane had some strawberries.
Yeah, it makes me want to do pizza again soon.
Nice set of pictures and a great looking pizza.
I picked about 5 pounds of tomatoes today, the first significant harvest of the season.
We had tuna salad in tomatoes for supper. Ah, summer!
I had a tomato and salami sandwich, Diane had beany-weenie
Very nice, Joan, what kind of frosting did you use?
We had taco salads using the leftover T-bone steak meat from yesterday as the protein.
I made a batch of custard tonight.
I had a t-bone steak, but saved about half of the meat to put on salads, Diane had the rest of her salad from yesterday.
The heat wave we've had for the last several weeks broke Monday evening, the high on Monday was around 104, but it was in the low 60's by7 AM and the high on Tuesday was in the high 70's. I don't see a lot of 90-degree days in the long range guesses, either.
So it looks like my tomato plants will be setting fruit for a late August/September tomato bounty.
We had take-out salads from Amigos, with some low-carb adjustments.
What's available? Fresh from your garden would be best, farmer's market a second best choice, fruit and veg stands #3, and then whatever you can find at the grocery store, preferably locally sourced. The further they have to travel, the more likely they are to be picked while still somewhat green and 'ripened', which adds color but IMHO not much flavor.
I've been buying the 'tomatoes on the vine' ones at the store since last season, those seem to be the most likely to taste like a tomato. Smaller store-bought tomatoes tend to be better than bigger ones, too.
That must have been a pretty big file, Joan. I think I've got the limits set at 1280 x 1280 pixels.
