Bumping my way out of the black hole I’ve been in… have been riding the folder, hugely loving it, walking hours and hours with J-man, the best dog-in-the-world! Fitting into thinner pants.
Ice cream is my latest challenge. If I stick with the FF frozen yogurt I’m fine, it’s the impulse DQ cone on the way home that snares me… it’s 4 PM, I’m hungry.
Hurray for holiday weekends, bought an enormous watermelon for 4 bucks. Also chicken burgers, Boca burgers, fish, shrimp. Salads are appealing again, esp those with fruit, etc. Bought Paul Newman light Italian, mixed in some crumbled bleu cheese for flavor - that way I end up with far less cheese than if I crumbled it directly on the salad.
I’ve been pinching off the tops of the herbs in my garden as usual (basil, rosemary, sage, thyme), and I had a brainstorm to use the herb shreds to infuse olive oil. Heat 1/2 c or so of olive oil a little with the chopped fresh herb in it, just enough to extract the oils in the herb. Not so hot it changes color. Combination are awesome, can also add chiles, lemon or orange zest. Plunk in a stem of the herb to the clean jar, use a funnel to pour into the jar… use in a month or two for salads, dips, egg white omlets, fresh pizza or foccacia dough topping.
