The yellow is so wild! I thought I had screwed up and dipped it in one of the green glazes. But now I am pretty sure it turns green when thick because of the handle!

I made homemade pesto pasta, grilled asparagus with a homemade balsamic mayo, and a tomato cucumber salad.
It was all very very delicious.
But now my kitchen is a mess. But I don't have the energy to deal with it.

Garden fixed other than the fence and the retaining wall. Which will probably destroy the garden again but I needed this fixed up now.
Also last weekend to plant roses in Auckland and get them established before it’s too hot.
