More Rain ~ More Sauce ~ Tacos and Martinis

 
Good 49º cloudy morning.
 
Rain started in the early morning yesterday (1:30am) and continued all day. Still getting some drizzle about 8pm last night. Total rain received was 1/4". 
 
Was cold enough for a fire in the wood stove. Nice. Cozy!


A site with amazing videos... Go to page 4 and watch "Bronson's Miracle"... what a wonderful story...
 

Yesterday I cooked down the last of the red tomatoes. Had 9 pounds.... then put them through the strainer, added garlic, onions, celery, spices, lots of fresh basil, and some Alfredo sauce....




 
Later Jeannie and I went to Jean's house and took her a birthday cake and flowers. We sang Happy Birthday and made her blow out the candles! Tucker and Sami enjoyed that.

 
 
 

Dang... got Jean with her eyes closed and the candles already out!

 

Then... a glass of wine with Billy and Jeannie... a Milk Bone for Chaka ... and them home to finish up the canning of the sauce. As for Monday Night Football ... looks like the Colts are going to the cellar and stay there as long as Peyton can't play!

AHHHHH King Taco!! They have a big presence out at the LA County Fair! Edda and I are pretty sure that they have the Mexican food stand where we go to in the Mexican Village for our lunch. Super food. Ohhh those tacos look heavenly! I prefer the crispy one on the right but then they are all yummy!!

Booooo is right for Susan Saranwrap!! Did you see her at the demonstration in NY going on right now? Funny to me that jerks like her and M.Moore demonstrate against our capitalist society while making millions from it! Hypocrisy in the worst form!

Hugs, Trisha

No, didn't see the demonstration, but you are right about the hypocrisy! xo

Lydia said...

Ths Susan Saranwraps of this world- Is it hypocracy or a sense of entitlement on a grander scale than I can imagine? That ought to be good conversation washed with alittle bit of today's drink.

Charlton Heston married a Lydia- brilliant man!

Love Remington. His America is my America. Gotta get me a horse):-
