Ok. I can't let you do that. I'm canning tomatoes. Even though it's an hour early for me, I'll pour a wine.

I hit the like button for the breakfast, not the packing.

Every time I see corn on something, I think of you @liuzhou.

Fried up a couple chicken legs and thighs

*high five*

I will try to retain this valuable info--truly they look SO good--but I reserve the right to ask you again at a later date how you did them.

Those shrimp look perfect.

Sausage and pepperoni pizza last night

A crock of pickles was done yesterday. I think upthread somewhere I mentioned that my crock pickles are always cloudy. I don't mind it, but in the interest of trying something new, I decided to make new brine to put the pickles in and can them. I was starting a new crock anyway, and I always have a lot of brine left over so why not. They turned out very pretty. We will see if they taste the same as the ones canned in the original brine. And, because I feel I should show the bad, along with the good, I had a catastrophic failure About one minute after I lowered the jars into the pot I heard the dreaded "BOOM" I always ALWAYS carefully inspect my jars but I missed this flaw --if there was one. Some of my jars are very very old. This was one of them. I think I should stop using them. At least it was a clean break.

WOW! Those eyes!

I couldn't believe how hot they were. They are hotter than my jalapeños.

A tostada of sorts with poblano peppers from the garden. They are the HOTTEST poblanos I've ever had.

I made a broth out of a lot of them You're right, great flavor!

Needed biscuits and gravy last night (AC is fixed!)

No. That's a brilliant idea!

Bringing my corn post forward I tried to use my FoodSaver to vacpac the corn, but that did not work. The corn was way too juicy. Freezer bags worked great.

Yes.

I par boiled mine on the cob for 5 mins and then straight into cold ice water in the sink.

No, we ate so much of it that I didn't have any left to VM--but there is always next year I just love that machine.

Cut up a ton of okra, let it sit in a bowl with some cornmeal for about 30 mins, then I spread it on a cookie sheet and froze it for a few hours. VacMastered. Will be excellent in the dead of winter.

Quail from the Asian market. Which was secondary to the tomatoes, okra and green beans with new potatoes (for me anyway).

No...in fact, I often wonder if they are even truly scallops and not round pieces of some kind of fish.

I would name the 4th Galaxy Chocolates.

Aw, well, it sure looks delicious!
