Can't stop buying produce, Romesco sauce on the horizon

I think I'm becoming obsessed with canning. For whom am I making all these goodies you might ask. Well, I'm not sure, but I found myself buying various types of plums and apples with no restraint today. I do have an apple chutney I want to try but what's with the plum fixation? In the meantime, and only in the meantime because I'm out of canning lids, I am about to start making a Romesco sauce. Chile peppers, marcona almonds, piquillo peppers, wine, tomato, pimentón, olive oil and so forth. Delish. I just missed the corn boat so the original pasta recipe with scallions, corn and bacon that I was going to make tonight is no longer a go. Instead I might make grilled chicken with Romesco and some crostoni bagnati which means we will enjoy olive-oil-bathed ciabatta. Mamma mia! I bought some burrata to top that off because really, why not bathe bread in olive oil and then put mozzarella + cream on it?

Odd advice for cutting onions?

Y'all, I'm slogging through the gauntlet that is Whole Foods on a Friday afternoon, and yellow onions are on sale. Trying to be helpful, a sign over them encourages us to cut under running water to avoid onion tears. Doesn't that sound a bit difficult? What if I want my onion juice?The answer is onion goggles, peeps. Ive said it before, and I'll say it again!

Just plain nasty

Friends, I have had it with my nasty, snotty, stopped-up, hacking, snarfing, chunking self. Disgusting! Not only do I feel arsey, I still sound it too. At least my terribly unfortunate Hitlerish chap pattern hasn't reared its ugly head this time around. Thank goodness for small favors, yes? And thank goodness for Matzoh Ball soup Fridays at Wagshal's. At present, I'm chowing down on a large bowl and musing about what I can cook for dinner that requires minimal energy. Hmm. I will let you know and post pics later.

Many, many thanks to those who've submitted laudatory comments on my Customer Review site. I'm very grateful, especially because not everyone is a personal friend. Yay! Heh. I also feel very gratified to all you food52ers who have so kindly complimented my recent Peach-Plum-Lime-Ginger jam creation. What a supportive community you are.

Off to deal with my overflowing mound of clipped recipes that need to be sorted.
