      I took the rest of the tomato plants that I had started indoors in March and put them in some bare spots in the garden, if I get any tomatoes from them at all, that'll be a bonus. Most of them were pretty big.

      I'm not impressed with the First Lady II plants I grew from the seeds I got in January, next year I might switch to Defiant. It's a determinant but that's the one that one of the test gardens at UNL grew one year as a yield test and we got something like 100 pounds of them, and they were tasty tomatoes, and high-yield.

      I've still got about 20 quarts of tomato juice left from last year, this year I think I'm going to switch to mostly making and canning tomato sauce, plus some tomato relish

        She had two hard boiled eggs for supper, I had tuna salad on a bed of lettuce and tomato.

          She's not even taking tylenol much at this point.

            I also am making custard for Diane. I had a sandwich tonight, she's on soft foods today and will probably not eat much that requires chewing tomorrow as well. I was planning an eye-of-round roast on the outdoor grill for tomorrow, but I put it in the freezer and will make it another day.

              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. 🙂

                            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.
