My sister and I actually did this thing where we made pizza in the oven. Oh yeah baby, that's right, homemade pizza for supper or dinner. Which ever. This was splendid.

Made this selenite dagger / athame. Selenite is a great protective stone for (among other things) energetic cord cutting

I think it turned out really good! 😊

Creamy roasted garlic tomato soup

Yields: 4-6 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 45-50 minutes

Ingredients

Roasted Veggies:

3 pounds ripe tomatoes (Roma or on-the-vine work well)

1 head garlic (top sliced off)

1 medium onion, quartered

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Soup Base:

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh)

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium is best)

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Equipment:

Baking sheet

Large pot or Dutch oven

Immersion blender (or regular blender)

Instructions

Roast the Vegetables:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Drizzle tomatoes, onion, and the garlic head with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet, cut-side down.

Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until tomatoes are blistered and softened.

Start the Soup Base:

While the veggies roast, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Blend the Soup:

Carefully squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and into the pot with the melted butter. Add the roasted tomatoes and onions (including any juices).

Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.

Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a regular blender in batches) to puree until very smooth.

Finish and Season:

Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Serve:

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread, grilled cheese, or a simple salad for a delicious meal!

Tips & Variations:

Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the thyme for a little kick.

Vegan: Swap the butter for olive oil and use a plant-based cream alternative.

Extra Flavor: Add a tablespoon of tomato paste while cooking the thyme for deeper tomato flavor.

Storage: This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and freezes beautifully.

Adobo Pork Tenderloin

with a side of Sweet Potatoes and Poblano Peppers

The national dish of the Philippines is adobo. The recipe can be altered in a variety of ways depending on the cooking tastes and personal style of each cook. Every Filipino will tell you that their version is always the greatest. However, all adobo recipes call for soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, garlic, and black pepper, regardless of the location or individual variation.

Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people eat together. – Guy Fieri

Plaid and glad

The last time I was at the fabric store (in a failed attempt to find trout-themed fabric) I found a plaid I loved. I had been musing for a while on the theme of "what if cozy plaid shirt - but long?" This seemed like the time to answer that question.

I have made several dresses in the past year with the same pattern, and I'm trying to use different details so they don't look too similar. For this one, since I was thinking about shirts to begin with, I decided to put on a faux button placket in front. Actually, I though about making a real button placket, then I decided to avoid all that extra work for something that wouldn't be needed/functional. . Next step was to pull out Ye Olde Button Box (ot os very old . . belonged to my grandmother, and she passed away in right before I was born) I wanted three matching ones, medium size.

Sha-zam! That woman had SO many buttons. Thread, hooks, eyes, zippers, rick-rack, bias tape, needles. Everything.

So, hopefully today I will be able to put the last few stitches in the neckline of this, and add the buttons. Then I will have a soft, comfy, plaid shirt dress. With X-large, wonderful pockets.

Oven Roasted Pork Chops

The popularity of slow roasting can be attributed to the method's forgiving nature and near hands off nature, which produces perfectly cooked meat with little mess.
