We had another smoky day Saturday. I stayed inside and puttered. I am a skilled putterer. I hope to get out later today if the smoke clears. I have my weeding mojo activated. I learned my lesson when I mowed a few days ago. Sore throat and headache were my reward. It can't be good for the animals.
Crabby Tabby contemplating life
I made a blueberry compote for our after lunch ice cream and served it warm. It just cannot get better than that. Melty ice cream and sweet blueberries. Ah, yes. Seize the moment!
Since I was trapped inside I decided to make pizza dough and then later made the pizza. It's been a while since I've made a pizza. The weather is temperate so a hot oven wasn't a problem. A nice, quick dinner. I could eat an entire pizza and probably everyday. But I don't.
Goodday, one and all. Eat the ice cream, enjoy the pizza.
That all looks great. Better than weeding.
ReplyDeleteI weeded yesterday, Boud. You're right, better that weeding.
DeleteThe air is horrid so baking and cooking is a great activity!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit better yesterday afternoon, Far Side.
DeleteI had the best pizza that I've eaten in years, while in Vancouver. It had a very thin sourdough crust. OMG, amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound good, Pixie. I messed around with sourdough several years ago. I decided life is too short!
DeleteYes to both please! Our air quality is not very good today, but so far I did not feel an impact from it. We still need for you to send us some rain.
ReplyDeleteWeather just doesn't listen, Lori!
DeleteIt all looks delicious. Making food sounds more fun than packing. ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with that, Rita!
DeleteAll that yummy food!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was good, Miss Merry.
DeleteYes, seize the day!
ReplyDeleteI seized it yesterday, Cheerful. I'm paying for my seizing today. 😄
DeleteLOVE the blueberries! Sorry about the sore throat. Love that you called it mojo! That's a hoot. I love that word. Cheers and Happy New Week.
ReplyDeleteIt is somehow a very descriptive word, Ivy!
DeleteI got headaches for 3 days in a row after being outside in the smoke to do chores. Yesterday wasn't quite as bad, at least there was a breeze.
ReplyDeleteWeeding in my flower gardens is the next job. Let it go for a week and the weeds go crazy with the warm humid weather!
I let it go for at least a month. The stuff was up to my thigh, Val. Yesterday was better.
DeleteStaying indoor and puttering sounds good to me and the resulting food looked delicious. While I could devour a pizza, moderation is good because it would leave room for that blueberry compote and ice cream😋
ReplyDeleteWe think the same way , Dorothy!
DeleteYou spelled smoky correctly. I just spelled it with an E in another comment, and it didn’t feel right. It’s quite smoky here lately. Air quality is down a bit. Pizza! I think we missed our usual monthly pizza in July. Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteThat means you get two pizzas this month, AC. I think smokey is Smokey the Bear.
DeleteI really like pizza and once would eat a whole pizza not any more usually have only 2 or 3 slices
ReplyDeleteWhat we were all to do when we were young, right Jo-Anne.
DeleteUgh on the smoke. I hope it clears soon if it has that effect on you. Thank you for the food pics. They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe wildfire smoke sometimes looks like fog, Denise. It burns the eyes and throat. Thanks about the photos.
DeleteSounds awful Sandra. I am so sorry you are having to deal with that. Hopefully it will not be for too much longer.
DeleteMmmm, the pizza and the blueberry looked fantastic! Stay safe from the smoke. We were in the Bay Area of CA when the Sonoma fires were burning, and the smoke/yellow sky was terrible.
ReplyDeleteIt is awful, Dreaming. The thought of the devastation makes me sad and the smoke keeps me inside more than I like.
