Good 45º and at 5am it started raining morning. There is no radar and looks like a
tad had just passed through... supposed to be 73º and sunny today. Hmmm... but at the moment it's raining on 'my mountain' !
I was awakened by a buzzing sound. Apparently 'something' pushed the
reverse button on my golf cart, right on the front of the seat. ??? Went out,
turned it off, took flashlight and looked around and what did I see??
Ah ha! So............Mr. R has been eating
the food in the bed of the golf cart I put out for Casper! Cute little
booger!
Yesterday I took that picture of the turkey vulture out in my pasture.
Finally he left his perch and was flying around. Apparently there is something
dead out there as he keeps circling and even landed in the grass for a time...
don't know what he is doing here, "gather around my children..."
Looks like he's drooling....
Historically this date....

And births this date include....
"In 2011, Depp became a U.S. resident again, because France wanted him to
become a permanent resident, which he said would require him to pay income tax
in both countries". IDIOT. He doesn't deserve to live here!!! He badmouths the heqq out of our country and yet taking fools money for his movies is not a problem!
Dinner was one of my friend Edda's recipes.... simple. Just 4 ingredients.
Chicken (Edda likes bone in, skin on. I used some boneless
skinless breasts I had in the freezer)
Garlic (E uses 6 cloves chopped, I used the whole
head)
1 can Las Palmas enchilada sauce (I used La Victoria...1
because it was in Temple's patrol area in Rosemead and they make good stuff!
Factory was at Rosemead/Garvey but looking at Google Earth it doesn't appear to
be a working factory any more.)
Lawry's Garlic Salt (I used McCormick garlic powder with
parsley and some sea salt)
I put the garlic powder and sea salt in a bowl and pressed it into the
chicken....
Put some of the sauce in the bottom of the crockpot, add some chopped
garlic.
Add the chicken and pour on the rest of the sauce and add the rest of the
garlic. Cook on high 4 hours (I cooked these large pieces for 5 hours) and low
for an hour. Serve on your favorite rice (regular white, brown, or Spanish)
....OK, so I have to say Edda, THIS IS FABULOUS CHICKEN!!!! OMG it is
soooooooooooooooooo good. It was so tender and juicy!!!!!!! I heated a spinach
wrap in the micro for about 12 seconds, put lettuce on the wrap, added pulled
apart chicken, and cheese and wrapped it up!
It needed NOTHING else. It was perfect just this way!
Thanks E! Going to make chicken this way again , SOON, and may use the
green enchilada sauce next time!
It was cool all day yesterday and so the 'kids' and I had a fire.... Maggs
had a 'chew' to keep her busy and happy....
Harley made himself comfy in "my chair" !
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.
