Good 60º humid somewhat cloudy drizzly morning. Yesterday at 3:30 we got
rain. A downpour! It lasted 50 minutes and stopped with an occasional drop.
Total of 1/4". I'm sure everyone in town at the Rooster Crow were ducking for
cover! Dang.
Wow, July already. This year is zipping along. Keep thinking of all the
people in Colorado and those fires and how horribly frightening it all is.
Praying they get relief SOON!
A special friend's birthday is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PJ!
Since you know about the party, will see you later today for grits, grins,
and gin. Er, wait. How about wieners, witticisms, and wine. Yeah, that's more
like it!

Ok, so to go along with the awesomely good pork chops from yesterday's
blog, here is a great super simple Polish Noodles recipe I have made dozens of
times... I think it originally came from the Frugal Gourmet.
Sauté small diced onion in butter.
Add 4 cups shredded cabbage. Sauté 5 or so minutes until tender
crisp.
Cook 8oz pkg egg noodles in boiling salted water. Don't over cook.
Drain.
Add cooked egg noodles to cabbage.
Add 1 T. caraway seed
Salt and pepper
Mix in 1/2 cup of sour cream. (Or serve a dollop on top of each serving.)
Heat through, 5 min, stirring frequently.
Now, if you aren't serving these with pork you can always add some crumbled
bacon to the mix and/or mushrooms.

The Rogue River Rooster Crow Parade was such fun! PatT picked me up and we
headed downtown. Got my regular spot at the corner by Ace. Along with us were
'Ron & Pat' (another Pat!) who have been sitting on that corner for every
parade for the last 33 years! Since Dave was with the Ace group in the parade,
Nancy joined us too.
In the parade was Dennis Richardson who represents District 4 in Salem
Oregon. He is the Republican Co-Chair of the Joint House-Senate Ways and Means
Committee. District 4 includes the cities and communities of Applegate, Central
Point, Gold Hill, Grants Pass, Medford, Merlin, Murphy, Rogue River, and
Williams. Dennis grew up in Los Angeles, was a decorated Viet Nam helicopter
pilot. A REAL GOOD GUY! We love him!
And also in our little folksy parade was the awesome Doug Breidenthal. Doug
has been a Southern Oregon firefighter for the past 20 years. He is now running
for Jackson County Commissioner. He's from Long Beach and the Assistant Chief of
Ops at Kingsley Field at Oregon National Guard Dept.

Historically this date..
After having lived in Los Angeles, 32, Ca for all my life, now it was
Los Angeles 90032. For those of you who remember, this was strange!
1981 – The Wonderland Murders
occurred in the early morning hours, allegedly masterminded by businessman and
drug dealer Eddie Nash.
.... that was interesting!
... I wish it was banned here in all public outdoor spaces too!
And births this date include....
      
1961 – Diana, Princess of
Wales, first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales and mother of the Duke of
Cambridge and Prince Harry (d. 1997)
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday.
