A Few Quick Notes 585

-Wow, today was another hot one.  According to Environment Canada it has been at least 30 since noon.  Though a few of the weeds have retained their colour, almost all of the grass around here appears to be a drought induced drab colour.  So unless you look up it doesn't even look all that beautiful around here these days.

-After a two week balcony garden update hiatus, I can proudly report that the tomatoes have finally started ripening.  Other than that most of the plants seem to be just chugging along unimpressively.

I think it's even fair to say that we have at least a real serving of tomatoes for Jeannette to eat when she sees fit.

-It always seem like something of a waste when I make a loaf of bread first thing in the morning and then don't get around to cracking into it until the next day.  Observers may start to think that I prefer stale bread, and that definitely isn't the case.

-I've recently become a big fan of tofu burgers.  While tofu burgers don't really taste or feel anything like traditional meat burgers they take only a fraction of the time to prepare and they can be consumed 'blue' or 'rare' at no risk to the consumer.
