Good 32º cloudy morning. Snow mostly all melted except for a few spots and the barn roof. Lots of accidents on the
roads in Medford yesterday. Idiots not slowing down in icy snowy conditions.
My friend Erika's dog, a black lab Jake, was attacked by another dog
yesterday and had part of his left ear ripped off. He went to the vet's for
surgery. I'm waiting to hear back how he's doing. Poor Jakey, such a sweet boy.
How about this.... do you like Brussels Sprouts? If not, this may be the
turnaround for you...
Roasted Lemon/Garlic Brussels Sprouts:
4 cups Brussels sprouts, washed and trimmed, and cut in half
1 head garlic, skin removed on each clove and quartered
1 t. dried thyme leaves
Juice of half a lemon and 1/2 T lemon zest
3 T olive oil
1/4 t. sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400º
Toss Brussels sprouts and rest of ingredients in large bowl. Drop onto
shallow baking pan and roast until tender and edges begin to brown, about 20-35
minutes. Shake the pan every 5 minutes to brown sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with
more salt and serve immediately.
Bruiser came in yesterday and slept on Harley's spot (dining room chair) for a long time. He
went out and did some 'hunting' in my pasture and was back in for TV time and he
slept in my rocking chair! I do wish his "journeying" would cease and he'd just
stay here. I miss him so when he's off doing his wandering.
Historically this date....
1972 – Apollo program: The last
manned lunar flight, Apollo 17, crewed by Eugene Cernan, Ron Evans and Harrison Schmitt,
returns to Earth.
1998 – Lewinsky scandal: The
United
States House of Representatives forwards articles I and III of impeachment against
President Bill Clinton to the Senate.
.....just like the current President, it's all a huge miscarriage of justice
with a fraud in office!
And births this date include....
...lose the beard dude, you look dorky!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
