My chili pepper plant made the move in a bucket to the new house...and kept growing/ripening! Not sure how hot these will be, so I'm not sure how to use them, yet

Three bright red skinny chili peppers held in front of a white five gallon bucket with a pepper plant growing almost sideways out of it

After school activities force Wednesdays to be easy dinners normally. So when my brother came into town tonight, I tried to stay simple and just add volume: soup, bagged salad, and build your own sandwiches 🍽️🍜

A murky pot of soup with mixed vegetables and chicken shreds floating in it

A bunch of different bowls filled with salad fixings including lettuce mix, diced chicken, peppers, scallions, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips

Family trip to the zoo today and got some Great Lakes Nosferatu with my chicken tenders

Behind a cardboard boat of chicken tenders and fries is a clear plastic cup of reddish beer, some small condiment cups with bbq sauce and honey mustard, and a giant soft pretzel

Tonight's grill adventure was doing hasselback potatoes on the grill. I gave them a head start in the microwave, then stuffed the slits with garlic and asiago before grilling. They cooked up pretty good, but I think an oven might give better crisp? Worth trying again 🍜🍽️

Four hasselback potatoes nestled in aluminum foil and sprinkled with asiago cheese

Cooked hasselback potatoes with some dark spots still in the aluminum foil but now they're on a baking sheet with grilled cheeseburgers and a couple buns

Baguettes are my bread making nemesis...

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 6d

there are breads that i enjoy making myself — any quickbread, sourdough boules and batards, flatbreads, biscuits etc. — but you’ll never catch me making a baguette or croissant at home. i live a short bike ride from three boulangeries!

a big thing i learned about myself during covid is that i just want to buy a goddamned baguette from the store or the bakery, i literally never want to make the damned thing myself

A friend sent us a house warming gift...a cutting board that he made! I cut up some mir poix for soup today and it is so nice to cut on

That was a good idea. Made some peanut sauce for the noodles and sauteed up spinach in sesame oil and garlic. Served with leftover meatloaf 🍽️🍜

I forgot that I was going to make a peanut sauce for this! I think I'll do noodles in a peanut sauce to serve with the leftovers

We've got a thai basil plant in our kitchen now, so I want to put it in everything....tonight it's in a meatloaf with garlic, ginger, onion, bell peppers, fish sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha, and oyster sauce. On the side we've got broccoli slaw and mashed potatoes 🍜🍽️

Sounds good! I'll have to get some tofu

Thanks! It worked pretty well other than I was a bit heavy handed with the ginger

Thinking about buying beer brewed in/around the cities of teams in MLB playoffs this October...or maybe just the teams the Phillies play...I'll have to do some shopping

It's probably still about a year from publication, but even just getting this draft together has been a journey. Really looking forward to sharing more with you! #HowToBuildAUniverse
