We've replaced 3 disposals in the last few years (all 20+ years old) for all three we went with some higher end InSinkerator models, they're built to last and really quiet. The most recent one is a Pro 750-4 model. The other two are 1 HP models.
I'm tilling the vegetable garden today, two passes to loosen the soil and then at least one to till in the compost that is part of the Nebraska Urban Soil Health Initiative study we're in. Tomorrow I hope to put back the landscape cloth, probably replacing about half of it, and then plant tomatoes and other plants on Monday.
It got down to about 40 last night but the two week forecast doesn't show any lows below the mid 40's, so hopefully it is late enough that we won't get a cold snap like we did last year, a day after the plants went in. :sigh:
We ordered pizza and lasagna last night and had leftovers of both for supper tonight.
I've started the preferment for a batch of semolina bread. (Hamelman calls it a 'flying sponge', it sits for 90 minutes.)
We're having BLT's tonight.
Tonight I had macaroni and cheese while Diane had oatmeal.
We had steaks on the grill, with salad and steamed broccoli.
I have a small funnel I sometimes use when filling the rinse agent dispenser, but it tends to get buried in a drawer, and not always the same one.
I've had better cookies from other places in Lincoln, the Warm Cookie Company is really good, I don't know what their prices are, though. Their specialty is delivering fresh warm cookies to offices and events.
Our friend who brought the cookies said she stopped at the LeMars Donut store the other day, and a dozen donuts was $20, which is about a $6 increase since last fall.
I have been looking at recipes for galette bressane lately, it is made with brioche dough shaped into a flat circle with the center filled with butter, cream, whipped cream or creme fraiche, usually with some sugar sprinkled on top, making it somewhat similar to a danish. I was wondering how it would be with sour cream. I may also try a butterscotch filling in it, there's one in a Kringle recipe online that I've used in schnecken (Danish).
A friend brought over some Crumbl cookies today, the lemon curd one was probably the best, though I liked the chocolate chip oatmeal one, too.
But I think all of them had a bit too much salt in the dough. And at about $5 each, they're expensive.
We had burgers on the grill for supper tonight.
I made another batch of the peanut butter cookies tonight. I've been making them about once a week for a couple of months now.
We had steaks on the grill, baked potato and steamed broccoli.
Most of my tomatoes have been moved into 3" pots. We bought some Hales Best cantaloupe plants at the UNL Horticulture Club sale last week, so now I've got enough melon plants. Still just 2 spaghetti squash plants, but that may still produce more spaghetti squash than we normally eat in a year.
I also set up another Aerogarden, same varieties as the last one, but a few more snow peas and not quite as much lettuce.
The UNL Urban Soil Improvement project we're participating in provided some compost, I bought enough extra to do the entire tomato garden area, hopefully I can get started on prepping that area this weekend.
