Good 36ยบ POURING RAIN morning! OMG, it just keeps coming down. I emptied this rain gauge yesterday late morning...
"They" did say we were going to get 8" of rain from this storm.
Looks like it's working up to that!
....and look, there is snow on my mountain!
....and my daffodils are trying to bloom....
Yesterday was fun catching up on my blogs and emails. In one email I got a recipe from an old neighbor friend, Marie, from Temple City, actually from her daughter, Laura. It's for "Italian Broccoli". I'm going to make it tonight and post the recipe tomorrow. Also got another one for "Garlic Roasted Asparagus". May make both.

With a bayonet on that rifle, it would be taller than him!
All I know. Nuff said. Off to clean closets. Yeah.
Ciao. Happy Wednesday, Hump Day.

National Artichoke Hearts Day
One of my favorite foods. I like them in salads, with pasta,
in dip, in most any of my "creative pantry" dishes!
Here is a recipe for baked choke hearts....
