Tolkien: Too many hobbits. Also Bingo Bolger-Baggins a bad name. Let Bingo = Frodo.

Today’s haul. I think the next few days will be big tom picking days. Green gage plums suddenly ripened overnight. The single jalapeño is probably picked slightly too early due to excitement.

Stardew Valley era. Some of the daily harvest hauls this week.

Zucchinis are starting to slow down (thank goodness). Carrots are being roasted daily with honey and oil.

Any recipes or ideas for excess tomatoes?

Commencing a sourdough journey tomorrow (thanks to a holiday gift and watching Tolkien acquaintances consistently bake bread)

I was quite set on the name for my starter, but I have thought of another. Help me decide, and I will hold your loaf fulfilled.

Right.
I will not pull the wool over your eyes. They need 50 subscribers. Why? Because we need those LIVEs, we need the "read alongs", we need the songs, and we need the discussions.
So stop being a stranger and subscribe if you love Tolkien...
