Summer ?? Brrr!! It's a Sloppy Joe for me tonight !


...no jokes about Chernabog, either. OK?

Want to share that soup recipe GD?

Last night we had pizza at home. It was going to be anohter sourdough crust but my sourdough starter looked funny so I dumped it. It should have been in the fridge instead of the cupboard. Oh well. I can always start another one. (use the pineapple juice method if you're interested.) I used a regular recipe but threw in some semolina flour too which is supposed to make it chewier and add some flavor.

Pizza had pepperoni with red peppers and onions.

We need to have a temperature exchange. Send us some of your cold and we'll send you some of our heat.


(ETA: That last part sounded kinda dirty...)

What IS for dinner? I don't know. Taco salad maybe. or Grilled chicken. or ??? it's too hot to think about.

I've seen your kind of heat ! Send it! Send it! :evil:

I made hamburgers with grilled onions and smoked gouda. The sides are easy leftover salads from the 4th. I had the potato salad and italian pasta salad. The boy may go for macaroni salad but neither of us eat the honey dijon pasta salad.

Tonight: Leftover Pea & Chicken Soup

Oh, about the soup. Owing to a sad and unfortunate Freezer Accident, involving poor eyesight and inadequate labelling, the Ham Bone I was going to use for the Pea & Ham Soup turned out to be Chicken Wings.

Thus, Pea & Chicken Soup was born.

It's not bad. I put some smoked paprika in it to give it that almost-bacony flavour. No Bacon Stock Cubes - I react too much to the Hydrolysed veggie protein in them.

Lash - that's funny! Last year, a few days before Thanksgiving, we arrived home to find a wrapped frozen turkey with a lovely note from our landlord.

I was really surprised when I went to make it, unwrapped it and discovered it was a ham. The note didn't say it was a turkey - I just assumed it was because of thanksgiving.

Caramelized Brussel sprouts, gazpacho and corn on the cob.
