Thread pic: I think the cat is going to stay outside a little longer.
I made focaccia yesterday and it turned out really well. Once you learn how to handle a wet dough, it’s really easy. I’m going to have to do this again. I also made a simple marinara sauce with really good ingredients. It is shocking what a difference the quality of the tomatoes makes.
I don’t grow my own tomatoes, so I’ve switched to a better quality canned or jarred. I’ve started using San Marzano tomatoes and they really are better. The last sauce I made used tomato puree from a brand called Mutti. The puree is sweet and full of flavor.
Mutti sauce is always rated quite highly so not surprised their tomatoes are good as well. San Marzano are quite good -- I use them when I can find them.
Mrs Sven is doing better -- Jack Tatum is still missing. I’m wore out. When I went grocery shopping today I had to stop shopping and lean over my cart for a few minutes -- light-headed. Finished shopping, sat in my truck for a bit until I felt better and then drove home. Slept for half an hour and felt better, but still out of sorts today.
Greenpeace started out as an organization with noble goals, but was quickly hijacked by radical elements that yearned for destruction. Years ago I read a piece by one of the founders and how he eventually had to separate himself from the organization.
Happy Wednesday, Gerbil Nation!

Good morning, Paddy -- good day, GN.
Tomatoes matter -- fresh or canned?

I’m glad Mrs. Sven is doing better. Sorry about Jack Tatum. Hopefully he’ll come home soon and in good shape.
You’ve been under quite the load lately, my friend. Take time to take care of yourself. You won’t be any good to Mrs. Sven if you’re in the hospital.
I see Greenpeace lost a massive court case that might shut them down. Years ago I would have been irate over this -- nowadays I can’t help but think too bad so sad. https://pjmedia.com/athena-thorne/2025/03/19/jury-reaches-verdict-in-case-that-could-end-greenpeace-n4938024

I hope they are shut down.
