Tar Weed ~ Catalpa ~ Throw Back Thursday ~ Stupid Computer ~ Bruiser ~ Scotch ~ Air Fryer


Good 57º sunny clear morning. Hit 96º yesterday. Triple digits predicted for today.
 
Yesterday morning...as every morning in the summer... this is tarweed. It is pretty but horribly sticky and will cause liver failure in animals that eat it. The flowers close up after the sun is on them. It grows where the ground isn't 
irrigated.





 
Do any of you Wilsonites remember a street named Catalpa, north of Valley Blvd, and west of Eastern? I have a tree in my front yard that is a Catalpa tree!

So so sooooooooooooo frustrated with this new computer and the STUPID printer! Fought with both of them all yesterday morning. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... DO NOT GET A NEW DELL COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS 10!!!!!! It SUCKS!
And then of course, try and get anything done when Bruiser chooses the middle of the desk to nap!

 
 
So, prior to dinner while watching the news I had my Scotch... up, like Commissioner Reagan on Blue Bloods likes his!
 

I had recently purchased an air fryer...

It is an amazing machine and so easy to clean with the cooking parts going in the dishwasher. I had baked an Omaha Steaks Chicken Pastry the other night. Well, 2 of them. So the other night I wanted to heat up the second one. I put it and the veggies in the air fryer. Cooked them perfect and even browned the pastry!


Last night I cooked two Omaha Steaks in the air fryer. Perfect!

Then I mixed up these veggies with a bit of olive oil, garlic salt, and some Tuscan seasoning


I cooked them in the air fryer. Then sprinkled on Parmesan cheese....
The carrots and celery stayed crispy and the broccoli was like it had been fried! Such a great taste! OMGOOOOOD! It doesn't heat up the house, makes clean up easy. I love it!
 
 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TBT. Ciao.
