Seedy is laying brick this morning although it was supposed to rain all day. I think he really appreciates my input on which brick needs attention or which one should go next.

Bumper crop of Roma tomatoes this year. The fertilizer that I used made them huge too. The oven has a dehydrator setting that I never knew about until we were quarantined in March so I’ve been making jars of “sundried” tomatoes in olive oil. They’ve been great in pastas.

I used crisco vegetable oil. I wound up putting on another light coat of oil, in the oven at 500F for an hour, then cool to touch and repeated 2x times. It came out really well. For a 17" ... definitely do it in the oven.

This is an Alice DuPont Mandevilla plant that I picked up at Lowe’s for $5 on clearance in April. We had a cold snap below freezing that killed it back so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve been pleased with it.

If you want a new take on wing sauce I do a blend of Franks red hot-butter-Olive garden Italian dressing-Parmesan cheese...really good and you don’t have to spice up the sauce due to the dressing

That's a new twist on the hot sauce that I'll have to try. I do the franks, butter, kosher salt, Lowry's and garlic.

And vinegary.
