The art to cooking is finding the "perfect" balance of flavor and textures. There really can be "too much of a good thing." Take garlic as an example; tonight's dinner might as well have been garlic bulbs on a plate - like 100 of them. Glad I wasn't the chef.

High of 89F yesterday, dive today so high of only 73 tomorrow. Good to see new pods on the plants in spite of our rollercoaster weather.

Power out for a few weeks means no recharging electronic gear. No power at gas stations means you can't use your car charger after a while, either. IMO, better to let them conserve for as long as possible, so electronics are usable if an emergency requires their use.

Thank you, rodents with hooves. I was going to top my tomato plants this weekend, and now I don't have to.

I've never driven to Michigan before, only flown. Was amused that the next sign after "welcome to MI" was a warning to motorists not to pick up hitchhikers for the next several miles as we were in a prison area....

My neighbors think I'm crazy, hauling my plants in and out of the garage with the vagaries of the weather. But if the predicted large hail hits on Sunday, whose plants will fare better? HA!

Perfect time to be outside. Grey clouds contrast against pink from the setting sun, with traces of sky between. Just cool enough to want light sleeves. Lightning bugs flashing on and off as they wander by.

Don't you hate finding you're allergic to something you love to eat or drink? Le sigh…..

KNOWING I was going to put some of Lady Sic's extra hot pickled okra (made with Trin Scorps) on my burgers, I went ahead and dumped some naga powder into the ground beef before cooking. Mouth STILL burning!

Dehydrator humming with a new batch of jerky on a day I'm working in my home office. So hard to work when all I want to do is raid the dehydrator, but I've got to wait 5 more hours. So hard!
