Quail ~ World's Largest Cities ~ Jennifer Pendleton ~ Veggies & Chicken Fries ~ Blueberry Muffins


Good 52º clear sunny morning.

Stayed some cooler yesterday. We topped at 91º.


Yesterday I heard this peeping bird sound. Looked out and here was a couple of very young quail walking along the top of the fence. They were very nervous and hopped right down....
Here is some interesting information re quail and that funny sound they make:
Out of the 31 largest cities in the world Los Angeles is #21 with 12,317,000 people (which includes LA County cities as Los Angeles City has just less than 4 million)

#10 is New York with a population of 18,604,000

And #1 is Tokyo, Japan with a population of 38,140,000!

Most of the rest of the largest cities are in India, China, Mexico, Japan, Congo, Russia, and So. America.

Later for dinner I cut up some brown button mushrooms and sautéed them in olive oil then added in broccoli/cauliflower/carrots, and lots of chopped celery. Added in water and some garlic salt and steamed them all.

Cooked some Schwans Chicken Fries and voilá....

Some Trader Joe's Sriracha Ranch for dipping and topped veggies with Parmesan cheese. PERFECT!!!


Then it was chair, wine, TV (Animal Cops Phoenix, Family Feud, and Blue Bloods)


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

Blueberry Muffin Day

Now here is a special day you can sink your teeth into. Blueberry Muffins are one of America's favorite muffins. And, the blueberry harvest is occurring right now!
European settlers brought with them a recipe for "Bilberry Muffins". Bilberries were not to be found in the New World. Wild blueberries, native to the Americas, were both plentiful and delicious. The wild blueberries were substituted for Bilberries, and the Blueberry Muffin recipe was born.
Did You Know? Native Americans called blueberries "star berries".
In addition to tasting delicious, blueberries are very healthy for you. They are one of the best foods you can eat. Blueberries can help fight or avoid many ailments, including cancer, dementia, promote heart health, and much, much more.
BTW: Three of the past four days have a special day with something to do with blueberries. Yet, the creator is not known in any of them. Perhaps, one blueberry loving person created all three days!?
National Blueberry Muffins Day is celebrated by:
Baking blueberry muffins. Use fresh picked blueberries.
Eating Blueberry muffins at for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack.
