This afternoon for about an hour it just kept getting darker and darker, and there was even a little thunder, but no rain. I mean, now it’s raining hard AF, but there was a long threatening period.
Kind of like dozens of other threatening things hanging over us now.
I think I’ll just post a bunch of food pictures and call it a day. And maybe some wildlife.
Washing kale leaves in the sink
Kale made into greens cheese pie – home made puff pastry that I think did not rise as much as it should – but tasted good
Waiting for everyone – all 3 of them – to show up on July 4
Getting the grill started – I wanted the fire to burn down, and not be crazy hot, but I charred the fancy brats from the local sustainable meats store anyways.
Crane on our walk Sunday morning
There were two, and Mark is taking a picture of them
The closest I got to this guy
Going back where they came from
King Arthur Flour rustic sourdough. It has sourdough starter and yeast, and makes a tighter crumb bread that Mark likes, especially if I go easy on the whole wheat flour. The smaller one rose and hit the lid of the pot I baked it in, giving it a funny shape, but texture & taste are OK
John, who’s been baking lovely sesame topped sourdough breads, suggests a box cutter for a cheap lame – smart
Fennel frond & basil pesto
On pasta
Antipasto pasta salad (Leftover from 4th of July) on greens for Monday dinner
And now there’s a rainbow. And the basement was all dry when I went down to check before bed.
