I was down to one sammich bun so I made a batch of 8.

I made beer once using a Mr. Beer kit. The bubbles in the final product are made with a second fermentation, you add a specified amount of sugar to the bottle and then cap it and wait a few days. But that's not how the commercial brewers do it.

I read someplace that the craft beer industry was having difficulty getting their bubbles too. Might have to start stocking up.

Those pizzas look great, Mike!

I made a boneless chicken thigh. I chopped up some tomatoes and simmered it with the tomatoes. Had it with pasta and kale.

Normally, I would never have bought the Terra Cotta tomato. I was ordering some things from Gardeners Supply and saw they offered a few tomato plants so I included one in my order. It arrived deader than a doornail so I let them know. They offered the Terra Cotta as a replacement because the one I had ordered was no longer available.

Not sure what happened, my attachments didn't work out as planned.

Now it looks like it worked.

My Mountain Magic plant is producing plenty of tomatoes. It's a small variety, similar to 4th of July but a little later. I also have something called a Terra Cotta tomato, so named because of the color. They're not bad but sure are not pretty.

The Mountain Magic have been perfect, no splitting or blossom end rot.

Here is a pic of today's haul.

Here's another view of them.

Yesterday I made a small pork roast on the bbq grill, had it with asparagus, rice and baked beans (from a can).

[RiversideLen]

I plan on making the same thing tonight. Chocomouse, bring dessert and we'll share.

Happy anniversary, BakerAunt!

I made a stir fry with some shrimp, left over steak, broccoli, carrot, kale and asparagus. Seasoned it with grated ginger, sesame seed oil and soy sauce. I could have put more kale in there but it was picture perfect.

I think a frozen cake would travel best, maybe pack some dry ice with it to keep it frozen.

In my area, I have Amazon Fresh, which is fresh groceries delivered. Last week I ordered a layer cake, which they sell frozen. Even though some genius thought it was OK to pack the cake upside down, since it was frozen it actually arrived in real good shape. Even the frosting flowers on the top were mostly undamaged.

I am making a batch of rye/semolina/wheat sandwich buns today.

I put some NY strip steaks and hot Italian sausage on the bbq yesterday. Had it with BRM instant mashed potatoes and broccoli and carrot.
