Little Evan ~ Soul Sista ~ Veggie Stir-Fry w/Clam/Onion Sauce

Good 57º morning. Hot yesterday, up to 97º and today should be a few degrees cooler with the "chance" (20%) of thunderboomers. Standing by, because the vet gave me some tranquilizers yesterday for the Maggs. Only thing, she needs to take them an hour prior, so will be on the lookout and checking radar on the weather sites.

When Maggie and I went into town yesterday we ran into my neighbor Cindy ... and her grandson Evan...

He is just squishy cute. You want to eat him!!!

How sad, the Prez cut short his vacation to return to DC because of the hurricane.

OMG, here's a video of some Republicans having a pool party. Even Democrats will enjoy this. Thanks Ed Chenal for sending it....

This "upcoming" birthday thing is good. So far I have gotten a coupon for a free hamburger of my choice at Red Robin, a free pizza at Abby's, and $5 off a dinner at McGraths's Fish House and a free birthday sundae and..... a free framed picture of me in their birthday 'fish hat'. Hmmmmm......

      

I'd have to have had a couple of martinis before this would happen!

Historically this date.....

2003 – Mars makes its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years, passing 34,646,418 miles (55,758,005 km) distant.

.... so when someone sends you an email saying Mars will be the closest to earth in August or whenever, it's just an old email that keeps circulating. It's already happened!

If you insist on forwarding emails that sound too good to be true, or spectacular, or whatever, please check them out with www.snopes.com or www.truthorfiction.com before sending it on. AND.... please if you don't cut and paste and only 'forward' then clean up your emails and take off all the other email addresses. Thanks so much.

And births this date include.....

TWO CHARGED IN ARIZONA WALLOW FIRE

PHOENIX – Two cousins have been charged for causing a fire that burned more than 538,000 acres in Arizona and part of Western New Mexico before it was contained. Caleb Joshua Malboeuf, 26, of Benson, Ariz.; and David Wayne Malboeuf, 24, of Tucson, Ariz., were charged in connection with the Wallow Fire, which started on May 29, 2011, in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. They are scheduled to make an initial appearance in federal court in Flagstaff, Ariz. on September 19, 2011.

Ok, my friends... I said (jokingly) in my blog yesterday that I got an iPad... at the end was the picture of my iPad (eye pad!!) Come on friends.... you're not all that spacey!

Dinner last night was a vegetable stir-fry with a clam/onion sauce.

Chopped cabbage, carrots, grape tomatoes, banana pepper, bell pepper, cubed egg plant, and broccoli.

Stir-fry veggies in olive oil. Cook pasta (Anellini), drain, and add to vegetables. Heat up the clam sauce and add some onion dip. Add to vegetable mix. YUMMMMMMMMM

All I know. Happy Saturday! Nuff said. Ciao.

National Banana Lover's Day

 

Did you know that the average person eats about 33 pounds of bananas a year? It’s true—this fruit is a worldwide favorite. That’s why today is Banana Lover’s Day!
Bananas are high in fiber and potassium. These properties can help prevent calcium loss, ulcers, high blood pressure, and certain kinds of cancer. Though bananas are often shown as growing on trees, the banana “tree” is actually an herb. The banana is the fruit of this herb.
Today is the day for all banana lovers to unite and celebrate this sweet, nutritious treat. Grab a banana and enjoy Banana Lovers’ Day!
