Good 50º morning. We did get some thunder and 10 or 6 drops
of rain yesterday afternoon after 3pm. The rain just wet the ground, barely.
Took this about 5pm yesterday.. my mountain is behind the smoke
somewhere!

...
Here is the bounty that Jeannie and Bill gave me from their garden ..
tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, cukes and peppers. YUMMMM!

And of course I have one of these...

Law Enforcement/Fire lunch was yesterday. We had some new LASD
folks join us. Always fun. Tammy Allgood (LASD ret...Norwalk Stn) told me about
a mask for the smoke at Amazon, so I ordered some.

National Zucchini
Day
Though technically a fruit, zucchini are prepared like vegetables. The
emerald green squash, if left to its own devices, can grow up to 3 feet long. In
fact, the longest zucchini ever grown was 6 feet 4 inches long!
Courgettes, as zucchini is known in some parts of the world, are a good source of dietary fiber nutrients. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. If you’re tired of the simple squash sauté, try making zucchini boats. Split the zucchini in half lengthways, and scoop out some of the flesh. Fill the hollowed out shell with whatever you’d like: Sausage, goat cheese and peppers are a popular combination. You can even incorporate the scooped out zucchini into your mixture. Top the boats off with breadcrumbs and bake in the oven until golden brown.
Some other fun preparations for zucchini: Bake zucchini bread, or cut it into thin ribbons and make zucchini pasta. You can also pickle zucchini slices then dredge and fry them.
Zucchini really is a versatile ingredient. The same holds true for the
zucchini flower, or blossom. They can be stuffed and fried and add a crunchy
element to any dish. And yes, they’re completely edible.

Okay- I am freaking out!! You know me as Tammy Hyman- but my maiden name was Allgood! There is another Tammy Allgood? And can you understand why I don't use my hyphenated name?
OMG Tam!!!!! That is a riot. Yes, Tammy Allgood... married to Paul Allgood and was a deputy for 23 years in LA. Maybe you are related to Paul. LOL, yes do not hyphenate your name!!! Too funny! xo
