Thin Slices of Joy

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

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.

Oh, my pup is now 9. Doesn't look a day over 3.

My first aloe pup ever!

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

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.

An hour well spent!

I grew this! Indigo Kumquat. Sweet.

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).

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 - 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 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.
