SUPPER CLUB - Monday, Nov 7th
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2016 2:07 am
Good Morning!
Looks like I kept my rain after all. At least the drizzly part of it. I don't care. I'm going walking this morning anyway. Scottie and I need some exercise. and we'll take little Hank, too - my sister's tiny sheltie. He weighs less than half of Scottie and he's 2 yrs older. And so stinkin' cute I can hardly stand it! We are his designated adoptive parents if anything ever happens to Al & Tina. . . . . Sure do love that dog . . .
BECCA - I hope escape routes from the fires are plentiful and open. I'm worried about you. Also, isn't today your dental appointment? Sending a hug and a cyber hand-hold while you are in the chair. I really hate dental work. Prayers that it goes quickly and painlessly.
CHICKIE - Love your pond descriptions! I've never seen a blue heron's nest though we do have one who lives on the little man-made lake on my morning walk. I've seen eagle nests though not up close. And I've had your cooking! No need for you to be concerned about cooking for a chef. I'm sure he learned a thing or two!
JANA - I think I missed a post somewhere. Is Stu coming home? for a visit or for good? Either way, I bet you are happy, happy! How is his arm? thank you again for that recipe. I'll be using it a lot!
IRISH - what fun to have such a tasty gift from CA! Is there any left?? haha! I've had those little squares. Bill bought me a bag once as a no-special-reason surprise just to keep in my sewing room for long afternoons at the machine. Of course, he knew where I stashed them and he visited often. ;o)
CAROL - heavens, no, I didn't think you were foolish. I grew up in a logging/bulldozing family. I forget sometimes that the everyday words we use here aren't everyday in other places. In his time, my brother was known as an artist with his dozers. But his favorite part of bulldozing was giving little kids rides on his 'cats'. >^+^<
My sis stayed at Jim's last night so Terry wouldn't be all alone in the house with Jim, who truly could expire at any moment. The house is big, creaky, old, and scary at night, too. My nephew should be back late today. Jim was awake yesterday and talking, eating simple foods, and drinking water, beer, and Pepsi. And he says he's been 'gone' a few times and he's been seeing our parents. He smiled and reached out to them. I don't doubt it. I've felt them around a lot the last few weeks. I will be glad for him when he goes.
Dinner is never a given around here these days. I never know how many I'm cooking for. But at this point in time, I'm thinking for tonite of making my version of "kitchen sink pesto pasta dish". I have kielbasa to slice into it, black beans, black olives, walnuts, broccoli, and you never know what else. Add a bit of garlic, basil, parmesan, and olive oil and we've got supper! With a salad. And some garlic toast, I think. I might make a blackberry cobbler today. I have berries in the freezer and I have a tendency to hoard them rather than use them so perhaps this will be a good day to use some. And wouldn't vanilla ice cream go good with that . . . .
There's going to be plenty so why don't y'all come on over! I'm in the house with the green mailbox . .
