Focaccia but with naan dough. What I paid for: pepperoni, flour yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, mozzarella, olive oil, sugar.
Things grew: basil, oregano, muscadine grapes, Roma and tiny tomatoes, jalapeno, rosemary. I smoked the mozzarella myself.
Cost per person 91¢
I got a call about this girl yesterday. She had some obvious problems. Her inner eyelids are bloodshot. She can't walk well because of a spinal issue. A vet visit determined that the best option for right now is a week of steroids. Then we're going to see if there's another step after that.

Three years ago I made some basic Italian beef with pureed tomatoes and red wine. I had leftovers and canned them for later.
Combine that with oven fries, smoked mozzarella and some seasonings and we have this monster meal. Not available in stores.
Cost: $4.00
Yesterday's leftover bread makes the best french toast.

Just found out that my needle gauge tool is lying to me. I started a project with 00 size needles. Thinking I had six of them. And then figured out that some of them are size 00 and two of them are really close to that but not quite the same. They're not 000 and they're not 0. They both fit in the 00 hole. But none of them fit in the 000. Needle one in the picture is ever so slightly smaller than needle too but I don't know by how much.
I can only find one needle gauge on Amazon that handles anything that small. And it's the one I already have. So far it doesn't appear to be making a difference in the actual project, but it is disappointing
Apparently I'm the only idiot that has decided to knit on sub 2 mm needles.
Ebay and Etsy have needle gauges that will handle only one needle below. 2.0 mm. Which makes them not as good as what I already have.
Now I find myself wondering if I can buy drill bits in the sub 2 mm range and build my own.
Before I invest in trying to make a tool that nobody needs other than me, does anybody else know of a needle gauge that covers sub 2.0 mm needles?
Without the egg this is a vegan meal. It is difficult to overstate just how tasty shakshuka is.

Mrs. Howell, AKA Lovey, well hissy you the more you walk in the room. She will hiss at you when you open the kennel door. She will hiss at you as you reach out to pick her up.
But once you've got her she will be completely quiet. She won't move. She won't tense up. She says no instinct to flee. She will just lay there as chill as can be. Her ears won't pull back. Her pause will stay in a state of retract.
She'll lay here for hours. If she's going to be adoptable, she's got to stop hissing. She's not violent. She is lump. But lump hisses. And that means she won't pass the 5-year-old test.
The 5-year-old test means that a kid can reach in and a parent won't freak out when the cat responds. This is a key factor and if a cat is ready for adoption.
Lovey just wants to be left alone. Which is not conducive to her finding a happier place.
"I'm probably not going to be that hungry for dinner. You should just make something for yourself." Which meant I could use obscene amounts of cilantro, heat and something else. I decided on sardines.
Cost per person $3.26 Over half that is the sardines.

As a resident of Lesser Carolina, it is not fun watching one of my federal representatives live post their mental breakdown in real time.
