Tuukka thought he should sit for a formal portrait for National Dog Day.
A large tri-color (black, white, and rust) dog stands with his front legs on a split rail fence. He has a big, goofy smile.

Two very glamorous neighbors met today. A little haughty feigned indifference on both sides. One can't appear too eager.
A very large and furry Bernese Mountain dog with black, white, and rust coloring is meeting a tiny orange cat outside on the green grass.

Here is my lady cardinal, of whose fancy self I am very fond.
A picture of a female Northern Cardinal sitting on a bird feeder. She is in profile with the comb on the top of her head raised greatly. Her beak is slightly parted and she looks like she’s smiling.

Seems cuddly.
A quote from the NYer about Steven Cheung: "By some accounts, Steven Cheung, Donald Trump’s principal spokesman, who once said that Trump critics’ “entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House,” is a pretty nice guy. “He has a nickname, Panda, which comes from his old Twitter handle,” Matthew Boyle, Breitbart’s Washington Bureau Chief, said, referring to Cheung’s former account on the platform, @CaliforniaPanda. “He’s big, fluffy, and lovable.” Cheung, who grew up in Sacramento, the son of Chinese immigrants, is forty-one, broad, bespectacled, and bald; Trump reportedly refers to him as “my sumo wrestler.” “I like dealing with him,” a reporter who covers the Trump campaign for a mainstream news outlet told me. “He’s not a white nationalist. He gets back to you. He gets you statements.”

This hearty young gentleman paid me a visit. Now he is visiting you.
A very round Eastern Bluebird, with a blue head and shoulders and an orangey red throat and breast, looks directly into the camera.

A finished jar of fermented Calabrian pepper sauce. Bright orange sauce in a glass jar sitting on a counter covered with tomatoes.

Pizza crusts on the counter "curing" before they get turned into Kenji's "Chicago tavern style pizza" (or as I call it "Faux Malnati's") tonight. (Mine will have hot giardiniera and fresh tomato.) #pizzanerd
Five round unbaked pizza doughs rolled out on a counter.

Gonna start keeping summer in a bottle. #pizzanerd
Three flats of two kinds of tomatoes: one big flat box of Romas, one flat’s worth of Romas in a canvas bag, and one big flat box of beefsteak types. Gonna turn them into sauce.

Made passata with the ~5lbs of tomatoes sitting around that were getting a little long in the tooth. Italian trad wife day! Ignore the jug of windshield wiper fluid! Admire the Vermeer-like details in the hopper! #pizzanerd
Two mason jars filled with tomato passata in front of an old fashioned food mill with a hopper and a hand crank.

Lots of red peppers, stems removed, packed in brine in order to ferment them and turn them into chili paste.
