Yesterday was hot, hot, however, late afternoon we had a brief but heavy shower, it became sunny and we could see the mist rising off the roads. However, overnight the air cleared of all the humidity and today is a lovely day. Sunny with a lovely breeze.
Up early again to get our groceries, and now we are working on the patio for hubby'a daughter.
Dinner last night was not what I had planned, it was a pizza and salad. What would we do without freezers and microwave ovens.
I use a toaster/convection oven a lot, especially during the Summer months when I don't want to heat up the kitchen using the large oven on the stove. So along with the previously mentioned appliances preparing a meal is quite simple for the foods that we regularly eat. I do not make a lot of baked goods anymore, mainly because hubby should not eat them and I can certainly do without the calories which are usually in pies and cakes. Having said that I have recently purchased some Stevia, which is a sweetener derived from the stevia plant and it contains no calories. When the weather does cool down and we get into eating more comfort foods I am going to try this instead of sugar. The package does indicate you use the same amount as you would for sugar. Do you use any particular appliance on a regular basis to prepare your meals?
We have two tomatoes plants which are doing quite nicely after being planted quite late in the season, one is a grape and the other a cherry tomato. The animals are having a difficult time trying to east the fruit this year as we have both of them surrounded by wire mesh.
Dinner tonight, chicken, asparagus,( may not be much as the spears are looking a bit tired), salad and fresh fruit for dessert.
