I guessed wrong. Never really think about carbs when it comes to fruit.

I'm looking at KAF right now, I can save about $25 on a quart of vanilla, but then I'd be paying $20 to ship it.

I found a few other things that I want. I saved $12.23 and spent $12 on shipping for a net saving of 23 cents, so all in all not a bad day on the internet.

I love the spatchcock chicken because it eliminates the cavity. I just put the chicken on a half sheet pan and apply my kitchen shears to it.

I knew this because my neighbor used to feed it to his dog, it's a low cal fill up. He also gave the dog canned pumpkin, he'd go nuts over that.

I guessed it.

I made a round roast the other night so I've been eating off of that for the last 3 days. Last night was roast with rice and canned baked beans and a salad, tonight was the same except I had spaghetti instead of rice.

Thank you Chocomouse and Joan. I've been using those containers for 5 or 6 years now, although this year I expanded from 2 to 4. It's a neat system, there is a coned plastic divider that separates the soil from the water compartment, there are holes in the cones that allows water to wick up into the soil. It holds about 4 gallons of water. So you just keep the thing filled and you have consistent and even watering.

And here are my other 3 tomatoes. They are getting nice and tall. They have flowers and some small fruit forming. They are Summer Girl, which is my earliest variety, Damsel and Oh Happy Day.

Mike, I've grown 4th of July tomato and it was always my first one to be ready. They would usually start to come in around this time for me. It was always a good producer.

This year I decided to go with slicing tomatoes and didn't do any 4th of July size (another good one in that size is Mountain Magic although it comes in a little later). This year I got a late start due to the cold wet weather. I don't have anything to pick yet (except for herbs) but things are looking good so far.

There is my Early Girl Bush hybrid, they claim it gets 18 inches high but mine is a lot higher. You can also see my overcrowded herb garden. I need to thin it out a little.

Got this one.

I made spaghetti sauce this afternoon using beef cut for stew. I'm going to have spaghetti and a nice cool, crisp big salad. The salad has leaf lettuce, 2 grated carrots, cucumber (seeded) and tomato. Still have to settle for store bought tomatoes, my plants are doing well but they're not ready yet.

I'm glad it worked for you, Chocomouse. I believe it's the semolina gives the dough a different feel.

[RiversideLen]

Chocomouse, I usually end up adding in some water near the end of the kneading, maybe 1/2 an ounce to an ounce, depending, but i always go on how it feels. The dough should be soft and compliant and almost tacky.

[RiversideLen]

i'm a creature of habit, I made rye/semolina/wheat buns again.

Yesterday I put country style ribs on the BBQ grill. I'll have enough for the next 2 or 3 days.
