I haven't made any kind of pie in a long time and haven't made a peach pie in years. So today I made a peach pie. I followed a recipe on Youtube but seasoned it with a pinch of cloves and a couple of drops of almond extract. I cheated on the crust, used the refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust. I won't know how it turned out until tomorrow (if I can contain myself tonight) but I think it looks good.

I made beef-a-roni with my homegrown tomato sauce.

I'm making tomato sauce from the excess tomatoes I can't give away.

I made a BLT sandwich for lunch.

I made a round roast today. Had a large salad with it (homegrown tomatoes).

I took a look at KAF and see that, BakerAunt. But in the photo it definitely looks like it was added after baking. I bet it's an error in the directions. I can see mixing it into the sauce before baking, but as a topping it should be added coming out of the oven or at the table.

BakerAunt, whenever I've seen fresh basil used on a pizza, I've seen them add it after the pie comes out of the oven.

I made a burger which I had on a homemade bun (I've been a bit lazy and haven't made them in 2 or 3 weeks) and a rather large salad.

Today I made burger buns. A mix of whole wheat, bread flour, semolina and rye. Superior to the store bought buns I had last week.

Thank you Joan. For me, tomatoes are one of the highlights of summer.

I'm not a fan of the strudel crusts that I have had, from bakeries nor from restaurants. I take a fork to cut off a piece and the crust is not very yielding causing the filling to come out. I prefer apple pie.

On Friday I made cupcakes using Arrowhead Mills vanilla cake mix. I added a teaspoon of cake spice (from The Spice House). I used a half can vanilla frosting to which I added one drop of yellow food color and a half teaspoon of banana flavor from KAF. It came out real tasty.

My tomato plants have been giving me for several weeks now. They may have peaked but have a ways to go yet. I'm having a hard time keeping up it, I can only throw so many tomatoes at my neighbors. I'm planning on making sauce on Sunday and then freezing it. I've had a couple of BLT's. Here's a sampling of it.

Tonight I made a hamburger on a homemade bun, fresh corn and asparagus and a little left over mashed potato.

[RiversideLen]

After my buns came out of the oven, I made a burger and had it with left over fried potato and fresh asparagus. I'm thinking about a banana split for later.

I haven't baked much of anything in about a month or so. I want a hamburger for dinner so I'm making burger buns right now. They should be oven reading in about 15 minutes.
