What I'm Reading This Week #25
Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun. We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice. You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons. I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons. (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all! I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape. I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in. There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all. Nope. The second it bloomed, it was gone. I haven't seen honeybees at all. I've checked ...
Happy Memorial Day!! I have a few things I really like on the grill. One is pork chops and I'll make fresh pico de gallo to put on top -- the coldness of that on the meat is so good. I like corn on the cob too. One of my favorite things to make (which reminds me I haven't done it in a long time) is a cheesy bread with an Italian loaf that you cut slices almost down to the end and insert a concoction of whipped butter, parsley, mozzarella and a few other ingredients in between each slice. Then wrap the whole thing in foil and heat on the grill for about 30 minutes. It is SO good. And it's surprisingly light and not greasy at all. I think because the heat kind of takes some of the moisture out of the bread it just gives it good texture.
