Good 43º raining morning. So far 1/4". Don't' know when it started. In the night, but had windows and slider closed so didn't hear anything. Earlier in the day it was gusty windy!
Yesterday morning the elk were out in the pasture....
Yesterday was one of those lost days. Didn't do much. I did, however, for dinner make Gnocchi with a creamy pesto/bacon sauce and mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese.
Gnocchi:
I first made a bechamel sauce and added the pesto, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and bacon. Cooked the gnocchi and added that and topped it with parmesan.
It was soooooooooooo good. I have to laugh though, mentioning pesto or basil to my pal Patty is like mentioning 'pickles' to PJ. She gets that look as if a hairball was coming up! Patty can't even stand the smell of basil, growing. And PJ is not a pickle fan! Funny, Patty loves pickles and PJ loves pesto! I know, I know... TMI.
If you want to see something that is really funny......

When I was married to George and he was stationed at Mather AFB in Sacramento, a SAC Base, I would just love watching the B-52s take off. Like giant birds. I kept waiting for the wings to slowly flap!

The gnocchi looks divine. Pesto is an acquired taste- happy to have picked it up.
We love crispy fresh dills pickles here. Other than in relish, sweet just doesn't do it for either Gerry or I.
On board the ship, I distinctly remember a group of passengers nearby during our " emergency practice drill" that I decided if it meant getting in a life boat with them- I would rather swim with the sharks. Better company.
Whoa, swimming with sharks! No thanks.
Pickles.... love them. I made zucchini relish last summer. It's devine mixed with a little mayo and on a hot dog or I put some on a chicken patty sandwich. Mmmmm..... love dills too!
Those crazy elk should have done a better job of 'mowing' your pasture and saved you a lot of work. There sure are a lot of them!
Michael Ansara You could have knocked me over with a feather telling me that he is of Syrian descent! I remember him as Cochise and always assumed he was an American Indian! Live and learn at 70!

I like my Pickles Fried!!! That gnocchi looks divine. Drooling here!
Reminds me of me and Swiss cheese. Alan always wanted it cut from a block for his sandwiches at his work lunch. At 6 in the morning and a few months pregnant, it sent me running for the bathroom. To this day some 42-43 years later, I can't stand the smell of Swiss cheese! Dick is having a hard time with his cold, I'm doing a little better than he is. I'm going to make a macaroni and cheese lasagna for tonight's dinner!
