I made 10 buns today, 2.7 ounces each before baking, about 2.45 after baking. (69 grams.)

I think these are a big larger than the ones I was making last summer, but I like this size better.

I made buns today and we had burgers on the grill with some steamed broccoli.

We wound up having tacos, though originally I was planning BLT's, but the bacon had spoiled.

Didn't get the peanut butter cookies done last night, but made them this morning.

I plan to make another batch of peanut butter cookies this evening.

I'm going to use what's left of the rotisserie chicken from the other day to make a chicken pot pie for supper.

The pie crust (Susan Purdy's hot water recipe) is chilling.

Our kitchen is 17x18 but the counter space is almost always full of stuff. I need to find better places for stuff and/or throw some stuff out.

We're without a cat for the first time in over 20 years. The one we got when my wife's mother died had been in failing health for months, and I'm slowly cleaning out the cat paraphernalia this weekend, that might free up some counter space. Though I suspect we'll get another cat at some point, we're just not in a big hurry. Might get two younger cats so they can keep each other company.

Burgers on the grill again, I'm getting my grill timings figured out again. I'll need to make more buns before the next round of burgers.

I'm also making stock from the bones from our rotisserie chicken the other day. I might make another chicken pot pie using that stock, the two I made recently were both really good and went fast.

I'll be making peanut butter cookies this evening.

Thanks for the update, stay strong, Joan.

We had a chicken from Sams tonight.

We've been buying the Cabot 'seriously sharp' cheddar cheese, I don't know where it falls on the sharp scale compared to extra sharp, but it's got a good bite to it.

I get it at Costco but I've also seen it at Aldi.

Have a great trip, Aaron!

We had burgers on the grill tonight. I'm enjoying the start of grilling season.

We're having BLT's tonight.
