July in my Kitchen

Summer fruit and vegetables are the best! I buy as many as I think we can eat, and keep them at room temperature
for best flavor!

I made focaccia in my new Kitchen Aid mixer that I call Cthulhu
because it called to me like H. P. Lovecraft's ancient monster.

Cthulhu making pizza dough with the dough hook.

Ready for the oven: the dough came out much crisper than my usual.

Crisp pizza, served on the new ceramic plate that I bought at the Ann Arbor Art Fair.

When she came to visit, my sister brought her crepe maker and prepared fabulous blintzes. Here: making the crepes.

My sister also baked a peach pie during her visit.
That was fun, delicious -- I posted quite a few photos an earlier post.

A very old ice can!

My freezer compartment isn't very large, so I've decided not to keep this antique ice can frozen all the time. It's really old, but might be a collector's item -- I suspect that I'll be recycling it, though.

It's been a very enjoyable month, with lots of other kitchen activities as well.

We also rearranged our African and Afro-Caribbean masks in the living room.
