Good 56º clear sunny morning. We hit 96º yesterday.
 
Here is CBS LA news video of Nancy Kujala's daughter's Sable Ranch. Stephanie Sherman is interviewed ...
 
 
I want to thank all of you who responded to my "do you want to stay on the daily drivel list" note. I so appreciated you comments! Also, it got a few folks off the list, as they can read it on FB and cut down on their email load. Whatever works best!!!
 
 

This is great, especially if you are a bird fancier... like my pal Cathy... 10 talking birds:

**********************************************
Dinner was reruns, but I wanted to share this recipe with you. It was one of Jerry's and is one of my favorites. Original from the Frugal Gourmet, Jeff Smith:
SEAFOOD SALAD

2 cups mayonnaise (Best Foods of course!)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 T. lemon juice
pepper
Mix well.
_________________________
2 cups shrimp
1-2 cups scallops
2 cups fake crab (or real, but $) or fresh squid
Quickly sauté the above in butter or olive oil, and cool.
2 pounds muscles, steamed and cooled
chopped sweet onion
chopped bell pepper
grated carrot
1 cup chopped celery
 
Mix all together with dressing and refrigerate several hours. Even any type of pasta would be good in this dish.

Ok, so then it was chair, wine, and TV. NO, I didn't watch any of the DNC. GAG~!!!! Lies lies lies. Fortunately the news was recorded so I could speed through the politics.





 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.
