First tomatoes of the season for us, it has been so rainy in NE, we weren’t sure we would ever see any. The only upside was the lettuce season was extended.
BLTs on the menu tonight, bacon done in the toaster oven, not as crispy as it looks, but on the crispy side.

Kitchen reno has started, here is our set up, with 2 grills outdoors and 1 hot pot for coffee/tea making.

Shaved ice with condensed sweet milk, adzuki beans, mochi, flan, lychees, and almond tofu.

The most delicious and bestest dinner on a hot July summer.

Shrimp and potato stewed with mint, cilantro, tamarind, and chiles. We also had basmati rice and roasted green beans. Some leftovers for tomorrow too, although I may add a dish to round things out.

Made some Mussels in a white wine sauce with extra dipping bread of course. And some Spicy Corn Ribs to go with it.

Also made some garlic confit for a dinner party this week, but I made enough for every other night this week as well hahah.

Thunder, rain, tornado warnings on my phone (but nothing came near me this a.m.), downpours (multiple times) then quiet.

New kitteh and I had a nice cuddle fest. He still won’t come to me when I enter the room, but is OK with me picking him up and settling him on my belly while I read in the 2nd BR for 4 hours while the rain came down and then it cleared. LB didn’t eat his breakfast, which concerned me. We’ll see how he does overnight with his dinner.

B/S chicken breasts were seasoned with s/p and pan-seared in olive oil and butter. Then into the convection toaster oven to bake with a Caribbean Mango sauce I can’t remember where I picked it up from.

Sides were leftover rice pilaf and steamed broccoli.

Wine.

Like they say when it comes to cats: “This too shall pass”.
ETA: I always took the saying “This too shall pass” as a good thing. Like from bad to good. But checking it out online now, I’m not so sure. Well, good luck with the kitties.
