Good 50º drizzly morning.
Yesterday I had to make a run into town for my meds, Maggie's meds, chicken
and stuff from the grocery store. As I passed the high school (on my road) I
realized the Homecoming Parade was going to happen soon and last year I got
stuck behind it coming back from town. I RUSHED! Hurry hurry hurry...... Made it
in the nick of time! As I headed home, here comes the floats.....
They went to their staging area, probably the market parking lot, and then
when everyone was ready and on the floats, band in place, or whatever else, then
they came 1 mile an hour back out our road to the high school. You can't pass.
So it takes you FOREVER to go the 2 miles!
Started drizzling yesterday late afternoon and heard it on and off all
night. I felt really bad as it was the homecoming game at RR High and the dance.
Fuey on a rainy night for those kids! :o(
I did have my first fire for the year in my wood stove.
OH SO SNUGGY~!!!!
Loved it. In all we got about 1/4".
10-20 radio code for "What is your location?"
I just found out that my friends Trish and John's (Bowler...LASD ret) 2nd
son had his birthday yesterday. Wow, Eric, 40 big ones!!! HAPPY BELATED
BIRTHDAY!
Look, you are even smiling! Funny, your birthday is 10-19 (Return to your
station! See the irony in that???LOL Makes your mom a happy person!)
(Dang Trish, he's a cutie~!)
Yesterday, actually Thursday, my kitchen sink stopped up. It would finally
drain out, but took FOREVER. Called Mike the plumber yesterday morning.
His mom, Susan, runs the office and she said Mike could come by on is way
home. He had a full day. Handy that the plumber goes past your house on his way
home!!! Mike got here about 5:15 and by quarter to six he was on his way home.
Yeah, sink running good again! Need to get some new plumbing done under there
before I get a new dishwasher!
OMGoodness.... Biden vs Biden... a heartbeat away from being
the President.... probably the most important leadership position in the world!
And... he's a full-fledged dufus!
Thanks Derry Benedict (former LASD) for this!
So, the other night I decided on a concoction to stuff some sweet bell
pepper with....
Into the rice cooker went a cup of Sprouted Rice & Quinoa blend, some
baby grape tomatoes, some baby carrots, and broccoli slaw. Added water and let
it cook. In the meantime I soaked the dried mushrooms with the dried red
onion.
When the rice mixture was finished cooking I added in some thawed frozen
spinach, drained and rinsed black beans, the mushrooms and onion, ricotta
cheese, and parmesan cheese.
I stuffed the two peppers, drizzled olive oil over them, added a 1/2 " of
water to the pan and baked them at 350º for 40 minutes.
I have leftover rice mixture so will have that as a side or cook some white
fish and serve it on top. Really good mixture. You can just use plain Quinoa
or.... a rice blend or just white rice. Saute some celery and mushrooms, add
minced garlic, the rinsed black beans, canned diced tomatoes, grated carrot,
grated cheese of any kind, and a little cumin for flavor. Experiment! Stuffed
peppers don't always mean they have to contain cooked ground beef... add some
canned tuna or chicken or salmon. Be brave!
This is scary.............
