I used to do a substantial garden. But over the years I have shrunk it. And in more recent years the area that I used to garden in floods too easily, which wipes out everything. So for about the last 5 years or so, I have been using "self watering" tomato planters. It's a plastic tub that has a plastic divider that separates the soil from the water reservoir, which is designed to soak up the water from the reservoir into the soil. The tub can hold 1 to 2 tomato plants, although it does get crowded with two. I have 2 tubs and do 4 tomatoes and a couple of parsley. The system works pretty good as long as I give frequent fertilizer and some calcium supplement.
This year I planter one each of Burpee Fourth of July, Mountain Magic, Burpee Big Boy Hybrid and a Health Kick. I planted them 2 weeks ago and they are progressing very nicely.

Hot dogs (Vienna Beef), burgers on the grill with all the fixings.
Yesterday I made whole wheat sandwich buns with sesame seeds.
I made pasta sauce today, from canned San Marzano tomatoes, rib bones from a pork roast I made on the grill and meatballs. Came out real good except I need to thicken it with a little tomato paste, which I will do on tomorrow.

No donuts for me today, I'm trying to cut back on sugar for a while.

My condolences to you and your family, Wonky.
I put a pork roast on the grill, gonna have it with a little pasta and broccoli and carrots.
My raisin bread didn't come out pretty, but it tastes good.
Today I made sandwich buns.
Happy Birthday Ms. Wirth, hope you are having a great day!
Today I put a bottom round roast on the BBQ, made sure to use a minimal amount of charcoal so it would cook slow. I seasoned it with smoked paprika, some fresh ground pepper and a little salt. It turned out tasty.
I'm in the process of making cinnamon oat raisin bread. I haven't made raisin bread in about a year. This time I've added a little rye flour to it. I'm waiting for it to rise now. I just haven't decided what shape it will be, regular loaf, 3 strand braid, basket weave or buns.
Tonight I made Chicken-Roni (ground chicken with pasta sauce).
I made a loaf of bread today, 50% whole grain (rye and white whole wheat), did it in a basket weave.
