crust too sweet
Tuesday, May 1 2018
[REDACTED]
As I mentioned the other day, Ramona has something wrong with her left hind leg. I can't tell if the problem is with the paw, the knee, or the hip. But in any case, it seemed prudent to keep her from going on the walk in the forest with Gretchen and Neville this morning. It was a glorious sunny spring day with temperatures that would go into the 80s, so Ramona was very disappointed not to go. But I gave her some treats and she eventually accepted her fate enough that I could open the front door and let her hangout unsupervised in the yard.
The weather was so nice that I finally turned off the household boiler and switched the solar hot water system to summer mode. This meant that I also had to re-prime the system by adding hydronic fluid from the top (up on the solar deck). Gretchen was lounging in the yard with a book

and marveled from afar that nobody could ever figure out how the solar system worked if I weren't around to maintain it.
Last night Gretchen was upset with me for eating something that she'd made for herself, correctly pointing out that I almost never make food to share with her. So tonight when she asked what we might eat, I suggested pizza; we still had a premade crust from a package of two I'd bought over the weekend. We ended up making what I thought was a delicious pizza featuring mushrooms, onions, some sort of boutique vegan "cheese" and tempeh crumble. But Gretchen found it almost inedible due to the sweetness of the pizza crust, which tasted to her like an enormous flat cookie. I hadn't noticed due to all the other flavors, particularly with the pizza I'd made with the first crust, for which I'd had peperoncino slices.
