More edibles.

Breakfast in the back yard! BACON, eggs cooked in bacon grease (I know, I know; probably not advisable), levain from Rustica with butttttter, and 1/2 banana. AND espresso with sugar and too much cream!

1st popsicle-making experiment. These blueberry banana popsicles are decent, but too many icy crystals. 

 

Leftover bacon? Yes. BTC, bacon-tomato-chive. Ha ha. Tomatoes and chives growing a few yards from my physical self. This pic makes the sandwich look extra meaty. It's not too meaty. Just extra tasty.

Half-way

 

Summer. About half-way complete. This thought has made me anxious; I've had many a lazy day, reading outside, sleeping in much too late, walking by the river. I've made an effort to make some summery meals, which make me feel a bit more productive. Vichysoisse with garden tomatoes and garden mint. Soooo creamy and refreshing although the butter was slightly off. I'll make this again!

Today I made Shutterbean's Corn Zucchini Lime Pizza (with cilantro, jalapenos, and red onion). Yum! I used a no-yeast crust which was only okay- not quite cooked in the middle. The cilantro got a bit charred. But still very good.

Happy accomplishments of the summer so far: consistent exercise. Yeah! Lots of book-reading. Lots of vitamin D. Less asthma anxiety. A wee bit of boredom (necessary). A few glorious night-time swims, complete with flashing colored underwater disco balls. A new white ModCloth swimsuit! Multiple drive-in movie nights. Now, how to make the MOST of the last five weeks?
