Good 33º raining morning. Of course it's raining! I had my truck washed
yesterday...
All this after I had breakfast... I sauteéd some thawed peas and some
mushrooms, added 2 eggs, stirred it all up and topped it with cheese. GOOD~!
Now, I know some people in my circle of family and friends who don't like peas.
Don't get your shorts in a knot, just don't make this dish! No gagging sounds
are allowed, Jeannie!
I posted a link re a chicken with a broken leg and it had surgery ... this
is what Dom has posted since,
"Also, I went to take care of the farm this morning and Henrietta was
standing on her good leg in her cage, eating bird feed like NBD. Good chicken."
(NBD=no big deal)
FYI, Pacific Power guy was here yesterday to let me know the pole that has
the broken cross arms and the woodpecker hole/nest will be replaced Thursday.
So, I will be without power most of the day. I will lay in a supply of wood on
my porch so I can keep a fire going in the wood stove. PLEASE keep me off your
email lists starting this afternoon through tomorrow. Some of you send 10-15
emails at a time and it will be overwhelming. Thanks.
Costco was on the agenda yesterday. I waited until after the ice had melted
for the most part. Stopped at Cash & Carry for Uncle Ben's Mexican Infused
Rice (addicted to it!) for me and Jeannie. Then to Costco. Ran into Dee and
Kathy there. We had a nice chat.
The food demos are always fun. I tasted "Pupusas"
which is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of thick handmade tortilla
(made using masa de maiz, a flour dough used in Latin American cuisine) that was
filled with cheese.
These were so good I bought some. I told Dee and Kathy about them and Dee
tried them and bought some too! They are made by Del Real Foods in Mira Loma,
CA. You can open them up, add other things... meat ect... or make the 'Curtido'
a blend of cabbage, carrots, onions, and peppers and serve on top. Here is the
recipe:
On the way home I went into Grants Pass to take Brian the requested new dog
beds for Atlas. He's like Maggie and likes the beds stacked up....so he got two
snuggy soft new ones. He will be a happy boy!
Brian had a present for me, a little book titled "iPad for Dummies" !!! I need that!
Got the car washed and back to the old homestead. There were two trucks at my gate. They were a "locator" company. I got out of my car and asked them why there were here. The power company guys had been here and let them in the gate. I see on the pole there is some spray painting and on the ground as well. They said they were here to locate the power lines and the phone lines. DUH...they are on the pole! I don't get that part.

Some friends took me to a Salvadorian Restaurant in San Fran for Pappoosas. I don't really remember being that impressed but I could have been a bit distracted by the stabbing victim we passed on the way in. I want to say it was in the Mission District?? I just noticed that One of the magazines mentioned that restaurant. I LOVE peas! Cold or hot!! Love- t and g
Sounds like a distraction to me! YIKES. xo
It is also "Sue Gets A New Power Pole Day"! Good luck today! I am going to turn our heat off today so I can feel your discomfort! OK! So it's going to 74 here today! I can still pretend!!!
Boy Ike, that is some tall pretending!!!! LOL. I will have a fire in the wood stove, dressed warm, a thermos of coffee close by. Then I'll read the book "iPad for Dummies" and stay entertained. xo
S,
Oh what a pain having your electricity turned off but glad you are getting that problem fixed! Wonder why they felt they had to write on the ground with paint when the pole was marked?? Jeeeze guess somebody needs busy work!
Listen, if Jeannie doesn't like peas, she could make that dish with spinach. Oh one of my fav dishes is spinach with egg. Yum!
Love that it's handwriting day! That's a lost art in our schools! No penmanship study any more. We used to have to write in cursive over and over again. Not so anymore and all you see this younger generation do is PRINT!! Oh I hate that!
Oh man! You just KNEW it would rain today since you washed your car yesterday! Girl you need to look at the forecast before doing that. Well, just leave your car in the carport today and don't take it out.
Have a good one! I had better get my dd written for today before this afternoon so I can send to you too. :):)
XOXO Trisha
Yes, T, the spinach and egg is good, along with pasta or rice too!
Yes, I knew it was going to rain from the forcast, but did it anyway since the ride was such a mud ball! I knew I wouldn't be going anywhere for a couple of days so it's safe and dry in the carport. I HATE a dirty ride!!!
xo
Okay, I know I am not suppose to gag, but that breakfast did not make me drool. Ugh, Thanks to Trish for the spinach idea.
I think I need to take a handwriting class. One tends to get very lazy now days. I, unfortunately do print for the most part because I write like a doctor. I use to take notes rapidly when I was working and lost the capability of nice penmanship. Obviously, got lazy.
The Pupusas sound yummy. Will have to pick those up next Costco run.
Stay warm tomorrow, and if you get bored, you know where to find me.
Have a wonderful day. xo
Jeannie
Oh, BFF, I knew that dish would get you. Sorry. Yes it would be good with just about any vegetable you can think of.... green beans, peppers, leeks, zucchini, corn, ... you name it. Thanks re tomorrow. As for the handwriting, arthritis makes it more difficult than fun, so typing is the easiest! At the Department we had to print everything, so handwriting is truly a lost art. xo
