Good 43º clear sunny morning. Will hit 90º and cool off with chance of rain
on the weekend.
Today my granddog, Atlas, arrives for a stay for a week while his mom and
dad and family go to Legoland.
This from Greg Lundell (Wilson S'63) .... will take you back in a very fun
relaxed way.... enjoy! Thanks Greg!
Yesterday 'Mike the Plumber' was here. I needed a new filter in the pump
house wayyyyyy up in the pasture.. and he found a leak in a relief valve. All fixed now!
And when Mike isn't doing the plumbing bit, he's doing his favorite
thing:
Great guy. Great plumber!
Since yesterday was "martini day" I didn't go with the 'traditional'
martini, made mine dirty....
Historically this date....
2009 – During the Iranian
election protests, the death of Neda
Agha-Soltan is captured on video and spreads virally on the Internet,
making it "probably the most widely witnessed death in human history".
the video: GRAPHIC
She was a beautiful young woman, unarmed, shot in cold blood. Very sad.
And births this date include....
the 'Brian' my son was named after!
Dinner was another experiment. Since the 'omelette muffins' were such a
success I thought about another muffin pan something but ended up making
'Couscous Tuna Cakes' which were VERY good!
Cook the couscous per directions (1½ cups water to boil, add seasoning, add
couscous, take off heat, let sit 8 min, stir) Then.... drain two 6oz cans of
tuna (I had some of Patty and Cliff's albacore that is awesome!) and flake, add two eggs, chopped parsley, a couple of green onions chopped,
2 cloves garlic minced, 3 T mayonnaise, and the juice of a lemon. Mix well, add
1 cup of the cooked couscous. With your hands shape into patties. Place on
(greased or sprayed with Pam) cookie sheet. Bake 400º for 20-25 minutes. (I'm at
1200 feet and baking takes about 5-10 minutes longer)
Then I mixed some 'olive oil & cracked pepper' mayo (I am a die hard Best Foods fan, but this is really really
good and VERY peppery!) and some lemon juice and drizzled that over the tuna cakes when I served
them.
I made more of the muffin omelettes to go with!
Today I will have a tuna cake or two on a 100 calorie wheat bread bun.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
