My tomatoes are doing well. I have 2 "self watering" containers with 2 plants plus parsley in each. There are tomatoes on the vines.

On Monday I browned a pound of ground chicken, mixed it with some pasta sauce and had it with pasta Monday and Tuesday. I still had some chicken with sauce left on Wednesday so I made up a small batch of deep dish pizza dough and made a small deep dish pizza in a cast iron skillet with 1/3 of the dough. On Thursday and Friday I made thin crust pizzas with the rest of the dough. Tonight I roasted a chicken.

Happy Birthday KidPizza!

That roast chicken in the bundt pan looks interesting. I might give that a try. One thing I wouldn't do with it is to shave corn on it, I'm afraid I would scratch it (besides I have a gadget for that).

Mike, is that 1/4 cup of celery seed right? That seems like a lot.

S_Wirth, maybe we could set up some kind of baking exchange, lol.

I've been making this rye recipe for a number of years now. In my opinion good rye recipes are hard to come by. I found 2 recipes on Food dot com that I like, one was a Jewish rye that was pretty good but then I found this one and it has been my go to recipe. Over the years I have developed a variation of it. I'll be posting my variation in the recipe section but here is the link to the original recipe. I make a half recipe as I only need one loaf/batch of buns at a time.

I made rye buns.

I've used the Barilla no boil sheets too. I have never pre-soaked them. I would recommend that you use a little extra sauce though, the sheets are going to soak up some liquid.

and a rye bread.

I recently bought a 6 cup bundt pan. I've found it's the right size for me and I'm always looking for ways to use it. On Friday I made a chocolate cake,

and a rye bread,

The back of my yard floods very easily in recent years so I have gone from in ground planting to containers. I'm only doing tomatoes and parsley, some basil maybe. I bought some self watering containers from Gardeners Supply and have been using them for several years. It works pretty good. The keys are (a) do smaller type tomatoes - I wouldn't do beefsteaks in them, (b) make sure it is always watered, especially when the plants get big and the weather is hot, (c) give it plenty of fertilizer. Right now I have them set up and they are just waiting for the plants. I have the plants and am hardening them off right now. I plan to plant in the next several days. I'll try to post pics as I get things going.

Hi Mike, not abandoning the CUBS at all, I have thoroughly enjoyed the heck out of the CUBS all last year and this year too. I just thought I would go with a more neutral name here, I don't want (misguided) folks who might support some other team to have negative feelings about me just because of my name (there are better reasons for that, lol).

Thank you about the cake compliment. I made that using an Arrowhead Mills vanilla cake mix as the base and baked it in a 6 cup bundt pan. It was pretty good but a couple of weeks prior I did the same but used lemons. The lemon version was awesome! Maybe I will post it in the recipe section.
