Friday Food - On a Saturday 08-05-23

Friends are still gifting tomatoes and I am loving it!  This was Friday's dinner. 

A  large  slice  of sourdough bread (current favorite is San Luis Sourdough),  mayo, a small smear of Dijon, one large tomato sliced, black pepper, sharp cheddar and a quick melt in the toaster oven.  It was delicious and I was tempted to make another one, but I have been cutting down on food.  Eating one cookie instead of five!  And one toasted tomato/cheese sandwich.

I have  been in bit of a funk and haven't been posting.  But we are  still walking twice a day trying to overcome my aching legs and butt.  Paying attention seems to be more difficult and this caused me to back into my garage door!!  I always back into the garage and I always open it with the clicker - until this time.  Have no real idea how it happened, but it requires a replacement door!  It will be twice the cost of the ruined door which we installed about 35 years ago.  Same specifications. 

The heat has not been so bad, mostly in the low 90s, The A/C is set at 79F and doesn't come on until mid afternoon.   But the sun shines on the front of the house  and it starts heating up.  We walk in the morning about 7:30am before it gets hot  and wait until 7:30pm or 8pm when the temp drops to 80F or so to take our evening walk.

Old age is not for sissies. But backing into something is perhaps more explainable than plowing into the entry door to my house through the garage. My foot slipped off the brake and onto to the gas pedal. I went over the "turtle" that was placed there. My brother was able to push the interior wall back into place. Being crafty I covered the hole in the wall with, ,. . wait for it, "Duck tape!" LOL I figure the next owner will get to fix it. Though I did think we could just throw a panel of bead board over it.
Mild here, a few 90s but cool at night. Our tomatoes are not ripening.

Welcome ladies to my club....the shrubs around the yard across the street have been there for upteen years, yet backout a couple of weeks ago I managed to back into the hedge and cratch the passenger side of the car...not serious, just enough to remind me to THINK and PAY CLOSER ATTENTION! We are all in the same age boat! Ladies, take care.
I am waiting for my tomatoes to ripen too....and your sandwich has tickled my taste buds so I may have to go to the farmers' market for my tomato for my sandwich! Take care...
