I haven't had chocolate chip cookies or biscotti in such a long time ! So good dipped in a delicious cup of coffee . Remember the taste though 😋😋

When I make chocolate chip cookies for us, I make them with half the amount of sugar and use dark chocolate chips. The cookies are more than enough sweet for us. I put the full amount of sugar in the recipe, when I make them for others, but there is no way I could eat one of those. To sweet! The biscotti has less sugar and a lot of cocoa in the recipe so that helps cut the sweetness. :)
 
It is getting too hot here, too, and the “gardening bug” seems to have worn off in my life. It is going to be focused on keeping cool and out of the hot sun except for relaxing out in the swimming pool for the next couple of months, and then yardwork and gardening can happen again when it starts to cool down this fall.

It is cooler today, so I will probably be outside in the yard for a little while, but there is still way too much humidity to breathe freely.

I've been outside, pulling up tomato plants and watering. Seemingly overnight we had an invasion of tomato horn worms that have stripped plants down to the stalk. :mad: It's getting too hot to bother with gardening anyhow.

Those tomato worms are terrible! They can eat a tomato plant in lickety-split. I had parsley worms do the same thing to my parsley. The little fat green B*****ds!
 
We decided to go for a drive to Dodge City. I went to Dollar Tree spent a big $18. He bought 6 sacks of some top soil to put
into some tubs a neighbor gave him. Drove back road to back home, Then He salvaged a tomato plant or two, a few bell peppers,transplanted into the tubs . I sat just inside garage door and watched. Enjoyed the sun and light breeze.
He plans on tilling the garden out and over ,then work on tub growing this year.He only works normally early of morning in summer. Yep getting to hot to do much outside. Tomorrow suppose to be 105!
Enjoyable day for me :)
 
Time to harvest, find some kibble for happy hour and then worry about dinner.
SO stopped at Sam’s on his way home and quadrupled the shopping list. I can deal with several pork loins and ribeyes ($19/pound so $30 steaks). But three full racks of ribs? He will be gnawing bones:)
 
I am resting my bones and licking my wounds after three days with The Littles featuring a trip to a water park where I dragged my aching body up and down stairs and in and out of various water park rafts.

Then, I had to build a "safari tent hotel" in the living room, provide a safari trip where I had to be the numerous animals AND provide ethnic entertainment (which consisted of several renditions of me doing "tribal dances" while beating on a bucket and singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight").

Luckily they left me 5-star reviews and my tips (rendered in hugs and kisses and "I Love You's") were generous.

Back rubs, stories and some songs ended the evenings. And then I fell into bed like a ton of bricks.

I hope I can keep this up for a few more years.....
 
What a dang day we have had so far. First off Mark cuts his bottom lip while trimming his beard and mustache . Blood all over the sink, would not stop bleeding. Once it stopped, he went out side, I followed as it was nice and cool. About 10ish he left the door to laundry room , then door to kitchen. The lock was locked all on its own! Credit card, screwdriver nor chisel would open door. Called his friend the locksmith, who just happened to be in town, They worked for hour and a half trying to get lock off, tried the door facing..not budging! I need to pee! Finally, somehow they got it off . Having to replace the whole lock, Mark leaves to buy new one. Friend Is diabetic, by 12:30 we ate lunch and they are back out their trying to get new lever door knob on.
1:13 still working. Something about it being a really old house has not helped. So glad Dennis was home as tomorrow he leaves again for a week. There is no real way to get in front door either, no key,,and we are not sure about the new glass screen door..
Anyways the day is still growing a bit long:confused:
