Have to share my most recent culinary success: Grilled pizza. Had been contemplating it for several years, finally put the idea to the test and it was a resounding success with my critics. The kids have let me know they prefer greasy pizza from the "local" pizza shop to my healthy home made pizza. Grilled pizza cooks in a fraction of the time and yields that crunchy outer crust with soft puff in the middle. VERY EASY!!!! Will now be looking at other home made bread type options to cook on the grill... Flat bread, pita, taco shells ... ???

I'll be right over

Although I did have a fantastic hot Pastrami sub today. Added onions, hot peppers and mustard along with the cheese. The guy making the sub did not skimp on any of the ingredients. Boy was it good.

The strawberries are finally ripe. Stopped at a local farm stand today and bought four quarts. The berries are small but oh so sweet. I just finished slicing them and getting them ready for the freezer. Tomorrow I am going to make a strawberry rhubarb pie. And I also have everything I need for some shortcake. Summer is now officially here.

Question for those with riding lawn mowers. After mowing most of my lawn today with the non self propelled 21" cheapest lawn mower Home Depot sells I have decided to invest in a riding mower. Granted the push mower has been very reliable for the past two years. Starts every time and gets the job done. However it takes a bit of time to mow the lawn. Time I could be spending doing other chores. It usually takes me a couple days to get it all done especially when it is buggy or hot out. Not sure what to get but I am strongly leaning towards the John Deere L110. Gets great reviews and often comes with the little JD trailer. Now that would really be handy around here to haul animal stuff. Anyone else have one of these mowers?

My dad used to own Greenway Equipment in Ellsworth. I like to say that John Deere put me through college.

I'll ask him what he thinks of that model.

Another question for all. This one certainly NCR. Anyone have T-Mobile as their cell carrier? I can get a really good discount with them through my employer. AT+T and Verizon are also on the list but even with a discount they still are a bit more than I want to spend. From what I understand in the Portland area T-Mobile is okay. Out my way it wouldn't be any worse than what I have now with Tracfone. And it would be hit or miss in the rest of the state especially in more rural areas. But T-Mobile is looking to expand its services so while it may not be great around here now it should improve.
