Our UPS guy was just here--a bit later than normal due to Prime Day deliveries. He said that today is bigger than the day before Christmas for UPS deliveries and they don't hire any extra help which I think is nuts. He has a co-worker that normally has about 100 drops a day out here in the boonies. Today he has like 250 and he isn't scheduled to get back to the UPS home base until midnight tonight. Crazy.

I used the CSO. My oven is full of my cast iron skillets and I can't be bothered to take them out lol.

You guys are light years ahead of me in organization

You had a beautiful garden!

Interesting. Thank you! I will have to look into this for next year.

You need to go back and find that out for me

LOL I need some magical algae water.....my lettuce bolted 20 degrees ago.

I can't believe how good the lettuce looks in the middle of all of that heat!

You could probably add different spices to make this more middle eastern, but I've been eyeing this recipe for a while: https://smittenkitchen.com/2013/08/rice-stuffed-tomatoes/

I had zoodles last night I've also done them in a basil pesto with some SV'd chicken breast and parm. cheese. And I've done an alfredo sauce with shrimp. All are very good.

Had enough garden tomatoes to make a little batch of sauce. Heaven. Over zoodles with venison meatballs. A bit of ravioli on the side.

WANT

You're making me feel sweaty just reading this

Yeah, those spring rolls look a LOT less greasy than the first ones. I made the mistake of lighting a cone of incense in my bedroom after coming home from a 2 mile run in the heat--this was in high school. The floral-y/smokey smell of it made me so sick to my stomach. I've never been able to overcome that. Is it super strong smelling there all the time?

Oh no, one should be afraid. Be very afraid.

I use one of these

Seems to have more veggies than the other places. I would like that. I admire you.....I just came in from the garden and it's only pushing 90F but I am dying...I dunno how you walked and ate in the heat. You guys are troopers! I would have looked like a sweaty drowned rat by the end of the day lol.

In anticipation of BLT's

I had a big day yesterday. Finally had enough tomatoes to make a bit of spaghetti sauce. It's still keeping warm in the Instant Pot because I was too tired to put it away last night lol. Also finally had enough cucumbers to start a batch of pickles. Thankfully there was still a nice bit of dill in the garden to use. Then, I copied @dcarch and dehydrated some squash. I don't know why it never crossed my mind to do that before so THANK you dcarch!!! They dried overnight and this morning I did a little test--rehydrated a slice in hot water. Worked like a charm. I will use these in the winter in spaghetti sauce for sure!

That tomato sauce is going to make your house smell so good! It was 103F here yesterday and it's supposed to be hotter today. I'll take a little of your rain please.

NICE!!!

It is!!!!!

Oh man, I HATE hard pork rinds. Could you taste any difference in the noodles due to the special water?
