Oil Added ~ Lamb Chops & Couscous ~ Quail! ~ Vincents


Good 48º somewhat less smokey morning. Apparently the smoke is all blowing towards the coast. Stand by Patty and Cliff... they said on the news it was going to Gold Beach! Kept windows open last night here.... got quite cool. Going to be in the mid to high 90ºs through next week. YUCK.


A blonde putting oil in her car......OMGOSH, really????
 
 
 
PICTURE of the day.........
...seems apropos at this time.... but I'm sure Steven Seagal's fingers were Photoshopped in!
 
 
 
Dinner: lamb chops and couscous with tomatoes and olives.
First I picked some fresh Rosemary, put it in the blender to chop. Mixed it with oil, garlic, and sea salt. Let it marinate 30 minutes at room temp.  
 
Chopped olives and added to rice cooker with couscous, water, tomato, and butter.
Preheated oven to 400º. Cooked lamb in oven-proof skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side. Put in oven for 10 minutes for med rare.
Served it all up on a bed of cut lettuce...
SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!
 
 
Went to Medford yesterday. Our past Commandant of our Marine Corps League, Herb Robb, had 3 big bags filled with salt water taffy, Tootsie Roll candy, and boxes with pouches of Cheese-It's for our Casey who is in Afghanistan. Hope to get the boxes off next week.
Our smoke was lighter here in Rogue River, but it was nasty in Medford! There was a flashing sign that said, "Due to low visibility...Turn on your headlights"
... and in the trailer park where Herb lives as I was leaving this California Quail couple was walking across the street!
I get such a kick out of them. So cute!

I find it odd that not one person commented on the couch/bunk bed on the blog yesterday! Oh well, when I get one you'll all be jealous and want one too!
 
All I know. Happy Saturday. Nuff said. Ciao.
