Snow ~ Coyote at CSULA ~ Omaha Steaks & UPS Dave & Dude ~ Colcannon ~ Joe's Madrone ~ Daddy ~ Nancy Perry


Good 36º drizzling dark cloudy morning.
Yesterday morning it was drizzling then it started snowing.
It didn't last long nor stick as the temperature was 36º.
Some did stick up on the top of the mountains surrounding us for an hour or two...

OMG, a coyote bit a 5 year old boy on the campus at Cal State LA! (I went there for a semester.)


I got my Omaha Steaks order, via UPS...
top sirloins, roasted turkey breast, corned beef and cabbage crockpot meal, boneless chicken thighs, poblano chicken & rice, pub style cod, and a free boneless ham. I won't be running out of food any time soon!!!
Dude, as usual, was happy to see his dad, Dave...who always gives him dog bone cookies.. (this picture taken a year or two ago! in warmer weather!)
It was so cold and I gave Dave some hand warmers. He was thrilled!!! They last 10 hours. I love them!

Speaking of food... I will be making Colcannon for St. Paddy's Day to go with my Guinness cooked corned beef...


Mashed potatoes with sauteed cabbage, green onions and bacon.
 
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1 inch slices
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 head of a small cabbage, sliced thinly
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • snipped fresh parsley for garnish, if you like
 
  1. Bring some water to boil, add the potatoes and simmer until fork tender, about 20-30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile cook the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until it renders, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the cabbage saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add the green onions and cook another 5 minutes.
  5. Drain and mash the potatoes in a large bowl.
  6. Mix in the bacon, cabbage and onions, half and half, butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Now this is really amazing and funny. A Madrone tree that was at Joe Kirk's house (LASD ret). Oh my, mother nature has a way!!!
