I got into making bread, got myself a bread machine. So far the bread has been great; been using it instead of store bought.  I have two recipes for white bread that I really like. Still learning, trying new recipes. Finding which I like, and trying breads like corn bread and others.

Over the summer I got a ton of veggies from my garden. Corn, tomatoes, beans. Lots of beans, the pole beans, which keep producing more than bush beans. I planted a lot of those three veggies. Corn was delicious, tasty, sweet and meaty in texture. So many tomatoes; gave a lot away but I've been eating a lot of them too. I had one cherry tomato plant - darn thing spreads out, needs its own zip code! Got tons of tomatoes from it. Planted lots of beans, too many, lol. I have about twenty packages frozen in the freezer, and those will last me a good while.

Took a lot of work though, for the garden. Between bugs and critters eating the young leaves, killing plants. I had to replant at times, and put down some critter repellent. Also sprayed a lot of hot pepper spray, which kept critters and probably bugs from eating the leaves. I also used some spray pesticide early on, not a lot though.

I have seen a Jamie Oliver video where he prepares a sirloin steak not just by dry rubbing it, but also coating it in olive oil in the end before letting it stand for a while.  I have tried that as well.  I like the results.  :)  The steak came out medium, but that's probably preferable for fatty cuts of meat.

You really ought to eat less sugar and more red meat.  :alberta:

I use olive oil on all my steaks and roasts now as a first step.  That way it never sticks to the grill. And grilling - as we all know - is essential to the proper cooking of meat.
