Actual temperature forecast to be 101 this afternoon with a heat index of 110 to 115. Too hot for old folks to be outside, for sure. We are letting Amber out over and over. She goes outside, takes one look, and barks to come back inside. I guess as long as she has several chances to do what she needs to out there, all will be well.
There is just too much heat and not enough water to do justice to my tomato plants. The main plants have some green tomatoes, but also dead parts of the plants and the tomatoes are not ripening. I’m beginning to think I’ll have to pull them out for the season, but my husband doesn’t want me to pull the plug yet. As you can see in the pic above, my tomato sucker plants aren’t doing well, either. I have ONE plant that seems to be okay, so there is still hope.
Today’s cleaning and organizing project is the table beside my recliner. I’m embarrassed to show it to you, but you already KNOW I’m a slob and the worse housekeeper EVER.
Between my cramming it with more and more ‘stuff,’ and Monster Cat walking all over it trying to sample my drinks and chew cords, it’s a mess. I’m going to see if I can relocate at least half of what is currently on there. Wish me luck?
I also found a recipe for keto fried chicken. We haven’t had fried chicken in at LEAST 3 or 4 years, so I’m excited to try this one. It uses avocado oil and the coating is almond flour, so I’m hopeful it’ll be good. The recipe is from Arman Liew of The Big Man’s World. Fingers crossed.
Oh, an update on my excitement regarding low carb ice cream – after further research, opinions seem to differ on what constitutes ‘low carb.’ The one I had found, “Breyer’s Carb Smart” actually has 16 carbs per serving plus has 4 grams of sugar. Since my limit on carbs for the day is 20 or under, this won’t be included in my diet for the foreseeable future. Oh, well. When I reach my goal – if I still have teeth – I’ll splurge and try some. :0)
I’ve been dreaming of a new wood-burned and painted piece that I’ll try to get started today. It’s funny, though, to be ‘tired,’ from painting all night. My sleeping self couldn’t decide whether to use alcohol inks or paint it with acrylics –
Enjoy this wonderful day.
