It's warm, humid and sunny. I'd be mowing the lawn if the mower was working properly. Instead I made applesauce from the apples Neighbor Bill brought me.
These apples are quite tart and don't hold form when baked, which I learned the hard way by making a pie with them several years ago. Applesauce pie, anyone? My favorite way to eat applesauce is warm over vanilla ice-cream. I could devour copious amounts, but I don't because, well, I'm overweight. But I'd love to.
It's a quiet day, really like most days. It just feels quieter than usual. Mark had been out to lunch with a client, maybe that's what feels different. Whatever the reason, it feels peaceful.
I have a pork roast in the slow-cooker with white wine, onion/garlic, fresh sage and rosemary. I seasoned it with old bay. It's not just for fish. I'll serve it with a zucchini, cucumber and yellow cherry tomato salad. I love having dinner making itself.
My good friend in Denmark, julochka, showed me how to make herbed salt. That will be tomorrows project. It looks and sounds wonderful.
I obviously had nothing fit to print, as I have just sort of rambled on. Mark has told me he thinks I should continue blogging, he thinks it's good for me. I think he's right, even when I'm just running on. As I am inclined to do. Take care.

I agree about Old Bay. I use it a lot, on all kinds of foods. It's my go to.
And yes, go on blogging. I look forward to it. You have a following!

Boud, Old Bay is a fantastic go to! The aroma in the kitchen is making me hungry.
I enjoy being here again. I have learned new things, found new authors and just all around found it to be a good thing. I have so little going in my life it often feels like I have nothing to say. Which I don't so I chatter! A couple of years of pandemic isolation have probably affected a lot of people, not just me. It's like I need a reset button.
I don't have much going on in my life either, but so enjoy reading of your days, the food ideas, and all else. Through your and other blogs, I can travel to so many places that I will never get to, see new gardens, recipes, animals, and scenery. And Old Bay, I need to see if it is available down here. So that is the bonus from your words today, with huge thanks when I cook the next meal.
Homemade applesauce with pork is a good combo for me. Yours looks divine.
Your applesauce looks great! Yes keep blogging and I will keep reading:)
Nancy, I agree with how many interesting people and things we get through the blogs. I'm happy to know you glean somethings from me. If you can find Old Bay it's a versatile seasoning, a little spice!
Lori, thanks! I left it a little chunky.
Thanks, Far Side. I will.
Ahhhh! I made applesauce yesterday too! I put mine in half pints to go with pork chops...and my favorite way to eat applesauce?
Warmed up of course!
Keep blogging.
I'm making pork chops tonight, I may try that. I never have because my palate doesn't like a sweet/savory combination. I can try, though. I'm going to have Mark pick up vanilla ice cream. I cannot resist!
I haven't any idea of quitting. He had mentioned it because I said I have fallen off social media entirely. He said, well don't quit blogging It's good for you. I agree. I need more things in my life, though. :)
