Pizza night!
Pesto, Castelvetrano olives, artichoke hearts, fresh mozzarella, pine nuts and arugula with lemon dressing
Pepperoni, Vidalia onion and mushrooms
Tried Ooni's quick pizza dough, not bad. Mine usually takes 3-4 days, but this was good.

How will you use the pickled scapes?
Dunno yet. We do a lot of meze, charcuterie type meals, so probably with cheese and such. And my mother is a fiend for anything pickled or garlicky, so I’m sure they won’t last.

Picked and pickled the garlic scapes this morning.

care to rent out that pool house?
stunning.
Thanks! The building in the photo is actually a detached garage.
The pool house is cool looking, but the design is iffy, especially when it’s the middle of summer. The sun sets right in that opening, and it’s miserable. We are looking into some kind of screening maybe. Pardon the mess, still getting it set up.

I haven’t made these in years, but I found some really nice sun dried tomatoes at the Buford Hwy Farmers market.
These are soaked in vinegar with sliced garlic, herbs, parm, olive oil and capers. Really good with goat cheese or burrata and grilled bread.

Tried a pasta dish from Gordon Ramsey. I looked for something to do with a leek, mixed mushrooms and some tarragon. Found a pasta recipe, used up a bag of pappardelle. Pretty tasty with the tarragon.

Made a salad and ranch dressing, then fried some enoki mushrooms like I fry chicken. Didn’t taste any different 🤷♀️

So exciting that our garlic is all happy! And my mom got her potatoes planted next to it. Behind a little because I’ve been down with my back bothering me. Hopefully can get more done soon.

Alter Bridge, Tremonti and Mammoth WVH. And sometimes my mother's stuff (Eagles, Bob Seger, ELO) if she's in there. But, I'm usually the one cooking.

Is the Chattanooga Choo Choo still in operation? I stayed there with my son on a business trip circa 1980. Had an acceptably nice dinner, don't remember what. But with the fancy drinks we ordered we got to keep the glassware. His is still my little boy's favorite glass.
Really old thread, but I was looking through the Southeast section.
The Choo Choo has been remodeled recently, and it's still in progress. It's been taken over by a hotel and the boxcars are all being redone. It's looking really nice. But, the prices are going along with it. We stayed at the hotel while it was being worked on. A music venue called the Signal moved in and its a nice place for concerts.
They have added some good restaurants. Nic & Norman's and Stir are two that have nice brunches on Sunday with $2 double Champagne and Mimosa's. That area has changed quite a bit. Really good places to eat, nice coffee shops, Chattanooga Distillery is across the street. And a great bakery (Neidlov's) and Italian restaurant (Alleia) are right behind it.
I wish they would spiff up the Choo Choo sign though. It still looks pretty ragged.

@RWood. Beautiful! How long does it take to decorate a cake like that?
I started this morning, with a few breaks in between since my back has been out for the past week. I finished about an hour ago.

Got around to finishing my birthday cake (somewhat).
Ran out of buttercream for the layered retro piping thing that’s going on now.
All chocolate throughout (and the one Rocher on top, even though I decided against hazelnuts inside this time).

Did they mention price jumps for any other Valrhona items? Was it the whole professional range? I've seen the rumblings online about chocolate pricing. I'll also be asking one of my suppliers. Wondering if stocking up now is a good idea - although that doesn't really help us for Halloween - Christmas.
She didn’t say. I don’t know if they use different cocoa butters in the other varieties, as that was the culprit in the price increase.

Tomatoes are doing OK (except for two plants 🤷♀️), and I’m trying to keep the bed from being a litter box 🙄. The potatoes are growing like crazy.
I found the teeniest friend on them this morning ☺️
