I too have some powdered cream in my pantry. Bought from someplace in Ohio. Its not bad I tried some. However the absolute best thing in my coffee is A2 powdered heavy cream, shipped from Australia. Bought 4 or 5 times now on ebay. Because there is no liquid your coffee is not diluted. And the flavor is fantastic. Better than what I have in the pantry. That came in cannisters, the A2 comes in a sealed bag and I just kept it in the fridge. Jersey cows are mostly A2 and have fabulous milk. Very heavy butterfat.
Lack of patience got the better of me. I picked a pepper, fried it in oil and put some Kosher salt on it. Yum
LOLOLOL I hear you. I picked 13 this morning. I am going to lightly char them in a hot skillet, stuff with cream cheese, and then submerge in a jar with olive oil. Next batch I will chop fine, lightly saute in olive oil and freeze in little baggies. I roll enough to season a dish, rollup in a snack bag then put a bunch in a freezer quart bag. There is nothing better than an omelette than these. I bagged up so many of these and we ate them all.
I’ve never had them before but was dying to try one.
OK.
I just saw something in my garden today that I would not have believed otherwise.
A beautiful little hummingbird feeding off my tomato flowers. I guess food is food but I never would have thought there’d be enough nectar for hummingbirds. Heck, they’re not even red.
I need to get more hummingbird friendly flowers, I guess.
Hummingbirds are great pollinators. That’s pretty cool! Mine have been coming and going all summer; haven’t had as many as usual for some reason.
Post Humus

Scatter my ashes in my garden
so I can be near my loves.
Say a few honest words,
sing a gentle song,
join hands in a circle of flesh.
Please tell some stories
about me making you laugh.
I love to make you laugh.
When I’ve had time to settle
and green gathers into buds,
remember I love blossoms
bursting in spring.
As the season ripens
remember my persistent passion.
And if you come in my garden
on an August afternoon,
pluck a bright red globe,
let juice run down your chin
and the seeds stick to your cheek.
When I’m dead I want folks to smile
and say, “That Patti, she sure is
some tomato!”
Those are good reasons for eating tomatoes.
lol
