    I know, I know. My pork chop looks anemic. I SV'd it and I didn't feel like searing it. It was very tender so I don't care what it looked like lol.
  3. Our sandhill plum bushes are LOADED this year. I have never seen them like this before. I still have jelly from like 2 years ago but dang, I hate to not use these for something......
  4. Oh Elaina, I know how hard it is some years. Have you tried to dust with Sevin for the flea beetles?
  5. Holy crap, how cool!!! Nose molds!!!! LOVE the couches that you sit on. Was it comfortable to eat on them? Everything looks so good. Were those mulberries in the spoon next to the cheese? Love the pea presentation and also love the wooden spreader for the butter on the bread.

    Spaghetti night
  7. I went back and found my pictures, too . I remember that I didn't measure precisely but it turned out soooo gooooooood. Before baking After You can't tell from the picture, but this was a HUGE pot.
  8. I used it for pizza sauce the other day. Excellent.

    Ronnie went down to the river and caught us a nice catfish yesterday. So we had that, fries and a garden salad.
  11. Yeah, I think the pressure canner and I have made a little progress on our relationship lol. I've canned tomatoes in a water bath for like 20 years now. I think early on I canned spaghetti sauce but I decided that I'd rather just can the tomatoes and then make the sauce later out of those. OR, I make the sauce and freeze it. No problem with canning it, though. Now, if you put a lot of stuff in it like mushrooms etc. I'd pressure can it, but if it's mostly tomatoes you'd be fine in a water bath IMO.
  12. Yeah, @HungryChris I love fried clams. I can't remember the last time I had any and they certainly didn't look like yours. Envious.
  13. Everyone's stuff looks so good!!! I'm not counting my chicks before they hatch, but the garden here looks so much better than last year. I really really hope the tomatoes keep on keepin' on. You can't tell the scale by this picture, but some of the 'maters are almost baseball sized already. I can't wait for red ones! Just a quick snap of half of the tomatoes.
  14. Attack of the cucumbers! How many did you plant? I think I have 5-6 that survived the various storms. I've only picked one so far, though. I hope more come on or else Ronnie is going to be without pickles and I don't know if he can handle that lol. Did more green beans yesterday. It went a lot smoother which must mean I felt more comfortable with my pressure canner already. I really enjoy not having to lift the jars out of the boiling water bath.....so much so that I might use the pressure canner for tomatoes (if I get some).
  15. How did I miss this until this morning?????? What a WONDERFUL treat to read as I sip on an iced coffee. I had so much fun perusing each menu and then carefully deciding what I would have ordered. It was like I was having a mini vacation in my kitchen I would be in Eataly for eons and eons. I would have to probably be dragged out, kicking and screaming with my arms full of cheeses, meats and assorted kitchen wares. I would have had to order the burrata (I've never had it, only seen it online and it looks so good), the frito misto de pesce and the ragu arancini. But, then I scrolled down and saw your meat platter and I might have had to order that, too. Ohhhh that farmer's market looks so fun. Those jars of pickled mushrooms really caught my eye. I am pea green with envy over your visit to the art institute. Art museums .....well, lets just say I wanted to be a painter or some sort of artist when I was a kid. Then I realized that what they say is true...you don't make much money doing that until you're dead lol. So, I nixed that dream. I LOVE the Manet painting. I haven't been to a museum in years and years and years. Girl and the Goat looks fun. My order: Soft shell crab and the pig heart (unless someone would eat the pig face with me and then that would have been my pick) LOVE the lights at The Publican. Razor clam ceviche and the pork rinds for me there. And definitely, to drink, the house made Lambic Doux. Also love the ceiling in Dusek's . Choucroute for me along with the Nasketucket Bay oysters and that ramp pasta dish (yeah, no way could I eat all of that but a girl can dream). Wow. I really wrote a book here--sorry. I just had so much fun Thank you so much for taking time to do this! I am hungry now but I know that when I open my fridge, nothing will look near as good as what I just saw from your trip. Sigh.

    @rarerollingobject I'm very sorry for your loss. @Kim Shook Your meal looks wonderful. I'm going to have to try Norm's wings. @Captain Now that's a steak! Hot wings for us last night
  17. Right now I want nothing more than to have a slice of this with butter...or plain...it looks fantastic.
  18. I can't even begin to hit the like button on this because their mistake only prolongs your stay in that hellspital...I mean hospital..

    When I was young my Grammy and I would have either nachos or just salsa and chips for dinner while watching movies.....my stand out memory of that is the first time I watched Gone With The Wind.....nachos with salsa and extra green chilis from a can with tons of cheese. Heavenly and still one of my favorite movies.

    For the first time in my life, I think the heat of summer is affecting my appetite. My air conditioner is all fixed and running like a champ so I don't know why I'm feeling this way, but I am. And it's not even that hot here yet. Anyway, I wasn't hungry for anything yesterday except I craved cold shrimp cocktail. So, my wonderful husband trekked to the big city and got me some nice shrimp. So, cold dinner last night--except for the cheesy toasts
  22. UGH LIUZHOU!!! I'm so sorry!!! Hurry up and get the hell out of there!!! The chairs next to the tv look far more comfortable than the hard plastic ones that I've had to sit in. After a couple of hours my backside falls asleep and I walk like I'm 120 years old. If you feel well enough, I'm sure you're bored silly. Can someone bring you a few books? Can you download ebooks on your phone? Hospitals....I can barely make myself go visit someone...they scare the crap out of me for some reason. But, when my father in law and mother in law were/are in there I have to. For meal times they are given a menu of choices--one for people with diabetes and a regular menu. I've seen decent meals --a surprisingly good looking chef salad--and horrible meals--a totally inedible plate of what they called beef stroganoff (I took a tour down the hall that day and all the stroganoff meals were being reloaded on to the carts to be dumped). Your pork buns look very good, actually. I'm surprised they don't offer some kind of juice to drink or tea? And, yeah, like Lisa said, if I were there I'd bring you ice. Big hugs from over here in Kansas and I'll be checking on here regularly for your updates.
  23. I do that a lot and I'm still breathing
