Good 53º rainy drizzly morning.

 
PICTURE of the day....

Lots of turkeys out and about yesterday...
...and of course while I was taking pictures I was being observed by the Bruise and the Dude!

Dinner last night was a combo... Spam (don't make that face!) There are several of their flavors I like:

 
So, last night I chose the black pepper....
 
I diced the Spam, heated some oil, added the Spam and some of the lentil veggie salad Jennifer gave me to take home. Heated that with some Mandarin Orange cooking sauce, filled a dish with baby spinach, and topped that with the Spam mixture... 

I also added some of the stuffed tomatoes Dee gave me. OMGOOD!!!!

September 24th
National Cherries Jubilee Day
 
National Cherries Jubilee Day will make cherry lovers jubilant. If you enjoy cherries, you must absolutely love this day. Cherries Jubilee is easy to make. All you need is a can of cherry pie filling, some cognac (or brandy) and vanilla ice cream.
1 can cherry pie filling
1/4 cup liquor, warmed
1 pint vanilla ice cream
In a skillet, heat cherries over moderate heat to just warm through. Pour in warmed liqueur, then flame the pan to burn off alcohol. Remove cherries from heat. Scoop vanilla ice cream into large cocktail glasses or dessert dishes and spoon cherries down over ice cream.

If you were around during WWII when meat was rationed you would not like Spam. We had Spam 2 or 3 times a week. Because it was not rationed. Pat T

WOW! You get some great photos! Hope you had time for some fun while all that photo taking. Oh those homes in Oregon have such wonderful views and scenry. Love the Fall leaves there.
Right now not too happy about our Fall leaves. Our Carrot Wood trees drop their little dry leaves all in the pool and it's really a pain.
Loved all their doggies and kitty.
The food looked wonmderful!
John likes Spam too. That black pepper kind looked interesting.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN! Yes, we are FB friends. :)

I was always in love with Gordon McRae. Sheila doesn't look too bad for 89.

Hugs, Trisha

Tammy, Dee filled the cherry tomatoes with stuffed olives and cheese, some had jalapeno peppers in the olives. GOOD!!!! I'll ask her for more details. xo

T, thanks. We are fortunate to have good views here! That honey and the garlic spam are good. Stir fry it up with veggies and serve on rice. YUMMMM! xo
