1. Pizza with goat cheese, caramelized onions and grapes.

Can't wait.

My recent guests ate me out of house and home and we will be scraping by this week. Hopefully will get a ride to groceries by the weekend.

How are you, Lucinda? Very quiet lately.

2. That sounds wonderful

8. Sadly, it was terrible.

REally, really terrible.

I think the dough had frozen and unfrozen a few times, which has happened to me before. It's just one of those things (like ice cream :cry that we just can't have.

Anyway, the seagulls will enjoy it today!

We just scraped it off the horrible crust.

I would die for some Georgia peaches. I have/could make a dinner out of them!

12. Medium rare rack of lamb

with couscous and a tossed salad with tomatoes, artichoke hearts, goat cheese, red onion, and olives.

For dessert I made my favorite fruit pie with 4 pts. of blueberries, only one pint cooked with 1/4 C sugar (this time I used a vanilla bean) a packet of unflavored gelatin. Clean the other 3 pts. and put them in a big bowl then pour the cooked berries over them and stir well. Refrigerate for a half hour and go stir them, and continue checking on them and stirring them so they will all be thoroughly coated with the liquid. I check and stir every 20 minutes or so until the berries begin to clump together. Mound the blueberries into a 9" cooked pie crust and chill again for at least 2 hours. Fresh, raw blueberries and the gelatin is practically undetectable in this pie. A little fluff of whipped cream (I use cool whip because of dairy allergies) sets it off nicely. Sometimes, especially on the 4th of July, I garnish each slice with a whole strawberry.

Instead of vanilla, lemon juice can also be used.
