FauxPas

My dental hygienist was telling me that her husband planted at least 65 tomato plants last year and she was freezing, canning and dehydrating them up until November. She said she BEGGED him to plant less this year, she took a peek and he's started about 60. So I guess that is less, but still.... 🙂

I was curious and looked it up. I found a few different possibilities, here is the Wiki attempt at explanation. The name tuna may come from French roi de Thunes,[1] [king of Tunis], a title used by leaders of vagabonds. But there is also a legend of a real King of Tunis, known for his love to music and party that usually liked to walk around the streets at night playing and singing. That explains why the term roi de Thunes was applied.

Fajitas? (Or maybe help out a poor starving doggie with a few bites?) I think PJ learned how to type. 🙂

I do! There are other variations but this is the one I started from. I don't bother with the onions, I just use a chunky commercial salsa like Pace and I usually up the salsa amount a tiny bit. Sometimes I make a batch and freeze it so that I have it on hand when a craving hits. 🙂 https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/quick-and-easy-spanish-rice/

Our neighbour dropped off some fresh-caught salmon and we enjoyed it for a couple of dinners and also a couple of lunches as salmon salad sandwiches. A dinner we have quite often, but we still enjoy it. Simple teriyaki-type marinade, with steamed broccoli and carrots and Instant Pot Spanish rice. Crappy photo, but tasty food! I love our generous fisher friends and neighbours!

No, it's the online store! 🙂

I am not a very sophisticated coffee drinker at all. But I do like a latté every now and then and decided to finally get a heated milk frother. I like quite a bit of milk in my coffee and this saves me from having to reheat in the microwave, ha. Also, it's fun. It's the Keurig frother, as I had a store credit there.

It was fun to check out his singing: https://stevesando.bandcamp.com/

Here you go. 🙂 https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2022/11/18/little-green-dress

... and you're sure you don't have any sugar in the "belly of the beast"? 😄😄😄

Just made a small batch of blackberry jam from local wild berries which were picked and frozen last summer. Another low sugar version, added a splash of Campari to this one. I was thinking of some ruby port or gin but had neither on hand.

@Smithy, I'm with @Shelby, I think the almond (oops 😁) pecan crust sounds lovely. 🙂 I love a bit of nutty flavour in crusts, I think it would be nice with the lemon bars.

I used to order from Sandia Seeds when I was living in US as they have a good selection of hot peppers. The Lemon Drop peppers are there for $3.99 USD for 10 seeds or $3.39 if you buy them in an assortment that includes Orange Scotch Bonnets and Chile de Arbol seeds. 🙂 I hope they do germinate well and that you let us know how they grow! 🌱

I've read this over a couple of times but I am at a loss - why would you care about the former if you don't care about the latter two items?

Hahahahaha! This made me laugh! 🙂
