What's that you're eating?

It’s so dang tasty! She said she uses imported Italian flour and yeast, powdered milk, olive oil and salt. She covers and lets it rest for at least a few hours. I’ve seen her portion them, roll them out, fold them, etc, and it always looks baffling to me but they really do seem perfect every time. She started a year or two ago with a cast iron skillet but now she’s using the cast aluminum griddle that came with her new range. She’s having a blast. And of course I feel incredibly spoiled!

This is great, thank you! Really appreciate the imported flour! 🤩
 
I had a bunch of fresh basil leftover and needed to use it before it turned. So, naturally, the little tyrant (my 3 year old) and I made pesto. We didn't have any pine nuts so we used pecans instead. Turned out great.

Lunch with my sister yesterday.

On the turntable are 2 Steamed Black Bass (about 2# each), a plate of Bok Choy & Shitaki Mushrooms, a plate of Fried Squid & a pot of Steamed White. An unremarkable bowl of house soup is off the turntable in the distance.

I ate all of the larger fish on the left. My sister ate 1/2 of the fish on the right & I ate the rest. Yum! :)

This is 2 of 4# of bacon that I oven-baked/pre-cooked this morning:

I just put the cooked bacon in a zip-lock in the frig to reheat in the microwaves as needed/desired. It lasts for a long time w/o spoiling but can freeze it if I don't think I'll use it quickly enough.

I've already eaten 6 slices which is why I've never had a problem w/any pre-cooked bacon spoiling before. LOL! ;)

I'm 72 and have eaten tomatoes all over the world. I have yet to find a consistently better tomato than Cherokee Purple. I'm always trying something different too, but there's always Cherokee Purple in the ground.

I’m going to have to try them. Just looked them up and they look great.
I’ve had some great Brandywines in the past, homegrown and purchased at farmers market. It’s been hit or miss on flavor in both cases. When you get a good one they are divine.
 
Remind me not to bother trying to go out for lunch on the 4th of July again. :rolleyes:

Drove by 2 places close to my house that were closed for the 4th.

Then I drove over to the next town to eat at a restaurant located by the water (which was nice in the 100+ degree weather) but after 30 mins waiting to be served the food we ordered, only to watch a table that arrived after us being served (who had also been waiting a long time & complained that their food was cold), I put $20 on the table for the IPA that I was served (which cost 1/2 that) & left. :(

As a last resort, I drove over to a Chinese restaurant nearby where we were finally served some food -- a Salted Fish, Chicken & Tofu "Clay Pot" & spicy Chinese Long Beans w/Pork w/Bucket of White Rice & a Pot of Tea (not in the picture):

However, the poor service continued when we couldn't find someone to ask for some more hot water for the tea, a take out box for the green beans & the check. Had to yell to get someone's attention to do that at this place which usually isn't so unattentive.

I'll go back to the Chinese restaurant & call it just a bad day but I won't be going back to the waterside restaurant ever again because I've been going to the Chinese restaurant for years but have only been to the other restaurant a couple of times (and apart from the nice view, which is nice) they are way overpriced.

Oh well . . . 🤷‍♂️
