We had a Moosewood Restaurant cookbook. Sadly it perished when our basement flooded long ago.

Oh, my. 😍

ScotBird - Congrats to your daughter! DH, being a Brit has explained about the rigours of final exams in the UK.

Definitely remember the moosewood!

ScotBird

Thanks ladies!

I just googled Moosewood - I’d literally never ever heard of it. There is a great chain of Vegetarian Restaurants in London called Mildreds. It’s one of my favourite restaurants ever. I hope they are doing OK, some people are starting to go out a bit more and it definitely helps the economy, employment etc but most people I talk to are very wary and just want to stay safe at home.

My daughter and her boyfriend both became vegetarian last year and he is now “a vegan except he eats prawns” (me neither😂). I think I need the Moosewood!

I made sourdough crackers with some homegrown rosemary.

More places are opening up here, but now we have rising cases. We did get ice cream today from a local shop. We usually go once or twice each summer, so we have spent more than 4 times our usual amount (so far). We cannot let them close.

I'm working on it one bowl of Sea Salt Caramel at a time! It's a hardship.

Made yogurt. Good. Now have too much yogurt.

Covid cases up. Had younger daughter cut my hair into a bob. Good job.

For Serenity - Here are the Lyrics for the "Cheese Song"

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I traveled the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Thanks, Celia! I love Eurythmics. I've heard covers, but no one compares to Annie Lennox.

CeliaC

Serenity - Also love the Eurythmics and agree that no one compares to Annie Lennox. I have been doing a lot of listening on YouTube to favorites from the 80s and this is one of them.

Celia - My family teases me that I don't like music made after 1996. It's mostly true. I've also been listening to YT and Prime for music. On YT the Playing for Change playlist is great summer music.

After several months without any mouth sores, I felt one developing last night. Swished some hydrogen peroxide rinse and awoke with no sore. Woohoo!

Yesterday I spent about an hour making a baby laugh, by laughing myself.

I grew this! Indigo Kumquat. Sweet.

santabarbarian

Those are gorgeous, much prettier than the regular ones.

I've never heard of them before. My husband brought the plant home when I asked for a cherry tomato plant. They start out a deep purple and then turn amber. It's more dense than regular cherry tomatoes. Worth growing at home.

"Indigo color is derived from anthocyanin, a known antioxidant." (I didn't know about this antioxidant).

santabarbarian

anthocyanins are great anticancer, abundant in berries too.

Cool! My younger daughter liked them. This is huge. She's nonsensically particular. She doesn't like sourdough or the yogurt I made. Though she did eat the sourdough focaccia.

ScotBird

Serenity I relate to the nonsensically particular daughter. For me it’s the middle one (of 3). When she likes something new, I am ecstatic. She is sooo hard to feed, it almost puts me off cooking😂. She loves boring carbs like plain bread and butter, roast potatoes, pasta but not much else. She is delightful in other ways, just really not into food at all. My joy today was an email from my boss (in reply to one from me saying “Thanks, this is helpful”. He is a person of few words.

ScotBird - Yes, I know that feeling when we find out she likes something. My husband usually cooks. When he was away for almost 2 weeks, she asked him to come home because I was making prison food! Well, now when he's away, she cooks. She likes bread, cheap chocolate, and pasta, but she also likes duck, lobster, and oysters. ???

I am not at all itchy. Just enjoying the feeling. It's been some time.

I love Princess Bride. Wish everyone would wear a mask. It seems to reduce severity of the symptoms for the wearer if infected. I want to go to Italy next summer.

Too adorable! Look at her little paws.
