Wishing you a speedy recovery, Navlys.

Last night I had leftover pork tenderloin with one pot mac and cheese.

I made pork tenderloin on the BBQ, had it with mashed potatoes, sugar snap peas, cauliflower, and carrot.

I made a stir fry with broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and shrimp.

Those tuna melts look good.

Yesterday I made Sloppy Joes. Had it with a side of sugar snap peas.

Storms rolled through here late morning/early afternoon and the electric power rolled out. I was without power until about 4:30. You never know how long it's going to be out so it's hard to plan. I didn't want to open the fridge so I ordered out a late lunch from McD's. I haven't had them in about 25 years. I enjoyed it. I wanted to order from Wendy's but they were offline: I suspect they were also without power. Since lunch was not exactly a well balanced meal, I wanted a veggie laden dinner, so I made a simple chicken veggie soup with sugar snap peas, carrot and a little cauliflower.

Repeat of yesterday's.

Rotisserie chicken, pasta and green beans.

I made pita sandwiches with rotisserie chicken and tzatziki sauce, green beans on the side.

Yesterday I cooked a couple of pork tenderloins on the grill.

Tonight I made a grilled tenderloin sandwich on rye with pepperjack cheese.

Thank you, Joan and BA!

My green bean patch is looking good. 15 seeds have germinated, I think there were 2 failures. Hopefully I will have some beans later.

It's nice that you have space for all that, Mike. A nice setup.

I'm starting to get tomatoes, I've had a few over the past week or so but today was a nice harvest. One of the bad tomatoes rolled off the table onto the ground. When I went back out there a few minutes later, I saw one of the rabbits had eaten a good portion of it.

BA, the capacity of my toaster oven appr 12.5" x 11". The pizza pan I use is appr 11"

Dinner was fairly simple, a hamburger, broccoli and carrot.

I made a pizza in the toaster oven. While I still prefer baking pizza in the regular oven on a stone, I use the toaster over when I don't want to heat up the kitchen. As I mentioned the last time, my method for doing this has evolved a little. I thought I'd show pics.

I cook the bottom only of the crust on a griddle. This gives the proper color and crispness. It takes about 3 minutes.

Then I put the crust on a parchment lined pizza pan and build the pizza. Last night's pizza was sausage, onion and homegrown bell pepper. I had two open packages of cheese, a little mozzarella and a mac and cheese blend, so that is what I used.

I baked it at 450f (the max temp of the toaster oven) on convection. After 3 minutes I slide the parchment off and let it finish baking. It doesn't take long, maybe a few more minutes.

As you can see, the bottom of the crust is just about perfect. It's not limp and perfectly baked through.
