10-22 Today (not) ~ Earrings ~ Weather ~ Bruiser ~ Lobster Tail & Risotto



 

 

Naaaa, not really. Good 57º some drizzle morning. Got more rain in the night but for the 3rd day of this "storm" so far only 1/4". Not enough! Then by the weekend it will be 95º. UGH.
 
PICTURE of the day.............

Cinque Terre, Italy .... sunrise...


Historically this date...
1876Battle of the Little Bighorn and the death of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer

1950 – The Korean War begins with the invasion of South Korea by North Korea.


2012 – The final steel beam of 4 World Trade Center is lifted into place in a ceremony.

 

And births this date include....
1925 – June Lockhart, American actress
 
1945Carly Simon, American singer-songwriter, actress, and author (Elephant's Memory)
 
1961Ricky Gervais, English comedian, actor, and writer
 
1963 – George Michael, English singer-songwriter, musician, producer, and actor (Wham!)
 

Yesterday I got a call from Aaron the landscaper. He was sick. We will have to reschedule for another day. So, I engaged in my old hobby... making earrings.
 
It was rainy and cool...so Maggie, Dude, and Bruiser spent a lot of time out on the porch... Bruiser keeping an eye out for critters he'd like to chase!

 

 
Dinner was lobster tail (finally!) with risotto and avocado...

Remember the process....  and after the butter is clarified, brush it onto the tail, sprinkle with paprika (or garlic if you prefer...) and bake at 400º 15-18 minutes.

The Bello Ready Risotto is good! Quick. Easy. I bought it through Amazon.com ... several flavors... 4 Cheese, Mushroom, Saffron, Asparagus, and something else.... It's not cheap, about $4 a box, but it saves you all that cooking and stirring and stirring and stirring!

 
I stirred fresh basil and dried leeks into the risotto.... ranch dressing and garlic seasonings on the avocado. OUTSTANDING!!!  Oink!
 
All I know. Happy Tuesday. May see Andy and Linda today as their hot rod club is on it's way from Sacramento to Vancouver WA for a car show. They will be spending tonight in Grants Pass. Nuff said. Ciao.

Cute Catfish):-

I think the recent image of June Lockhart is more attractive than when she was younger.

Off to move some blocks into place.

Thanks for the reminder. Gonna go get some tail later today. I'm not crazy for risotto, but she is and I'll make it. I'll probably have my lobster tail with another one, and a side of large shrimp (she can have all the risotto she wants. Yum, yum, and then I'll have to fast tomorrow and maybe even thursday.....luv, ron
