I've never thought about using peanut butter chips! Great idea!

I've never tried corn but I don't see why it wouldn't! I'd maybe brush a bit of oil on ....but you might not even need to do that.

I couldn't take the heat...or the jet lag. But I'd love your wife's amazing knowledge about wine. And yours about the food. Again, I need to stay on the air conditioned plane lol.

Ok. You had me at the wine commentary. I suppose I'd be ready to use a bathroom other than the airplane one anyway. 🤣

I'm Doing It My Way So I don't have mess around with any pesky substitutions or requests. 😬

I'm thinking about taking the same flight and just staying on the plane. No need to see land. Just eat the airplane food.

Just a little reminder that quesadilla type things work well --if you don't mind cleaning up some cheese off the maker that is lol. It gets the tortillas nice and crisp without having to use oil and especially without having to flip them over.

Thanks for this, Kim. It looks delicious! I've made a note in my SV book.

I always read this thread but rarely post because 99% of the time my breakfasts are leftovers from the night before....or a cracker and a piece of cheese lol. But, this is my favorite breakfast when the garden tomatoes get good:

I already had enough cucumbers to start a crock of pickles a few days ago. I will have enough to start a second one in a day or two. I need an additional fridge in the garage sigh lol.

I haven't been very creative yet this year. Been using the mandolin and salting the strips and squeezing fresh lemon over. Did a huge grated up ziplock so I could make fritters--which we might be sick of by now lol. And this sour cream zucchini bread I've given tons away already. It's either feast or famine with us lol.

I very much enjoy seeing everyone's meals whether cooking for one or cooking for a crowd. I seem to be piling up pictures and not posting very frequently. Garden is really thriving which is good but also makes me need a large nap in the afternoons lol. I am definitely in a cooking rut. Nothing sounds good when it's hot. Now is when I envy those who can get food delivered. Big salad night. Bacon, shrimp and leftover smoked trout for meats The usual broccoli salad with zucchini fritters and roasted chicken quarters SV'd steaks and cheese broccoli and cauliflower SV'd goose legs Deli turkey sandwiches Ronnie went to Sam's for supplies--cases of water because we're going through it like mad--and picked up a rotisserie chicken. I reheated it in the CSO. Nice and easy and good. Cauliflower mashed potatoes to go with Using the leftover chicken I made enchiladas Another big salad night You'll be seeing more steaks in the future. Ribeyes in a bag (not cut up yet) were on sale so Ronnie picked up a couple. Steaks ended up being about $9 a piece and the meat is SO tender. Reason number 126 why I love my Vacmaster.

Nope. I admire the hell out of you. When life is a pitfall and you don't know when you'll quit falling, a good meal like you made is amazing. Looks delicious.

I'm so glad some of you got to eat there. I wish we had gotten to go. I wish him the best of luck in his next endeavor. I'm sure it will be another amazing adventure.

You tell her to get in line 😬

I just heard about this a month or so ago. I made a mental note to ask my farmers what they think about it but I haven't done it yet. It would be interesting to plant some.....

I didn't know they closed down. I've never eaten there.

It's been a while since I've made a burger with an egg on it. Need to rectify that.

I do NOT like that at all. It leaves a horrid aftertaste and...some sort of slime that makes me gag.

I seem to be all about easy the older I get lol. I use an Italian spice mix from Sam's and use the Italian breadcrumbs in the can from the store. Works and saves time.

Thanks for this report! I, too, enjoy hard ciders. I'm decidedly more on the sweet side. But, maybe because it's been so hot, the drier ones sound good to me. I just might have to order some

I know I'm not Mitch but this is my favorite recipe. I wouldn't mess around with grinding your own meats....just sub ground beef for the venison and add ground pork. Very tender.

That made me really hungry.

We are having a much needed break from wind and excessive heat today. We got an inch and a half of rain and more is on the way. Don't worry. The heat will be back tomorrow and next week looks to be 100+ every day (with the heat index included). YUCK. But, the rain let us pull a few onions this morning. We cut the greens off and washed them. They will dry here in the kitchen for a day or so and then I'll put them in the garage fridge. I went all last winter without having to buy onions. I don't think that I'll be able to say the same with this years crop --I didn't plant as many as last year--but I still have this many or more still left to pull.

It's that time of year again over in my hemisphere. Lock your doors. I'm lurking...ready to leave squash.
