Good 34º foggy morning. We hit the mid 60º's yesterday. Linda in Woodland
(north of Sacramento) said it was 82º there! We had rain yesterday too.
Yesterday I spent and inordinate amount of time just getting a blood test.
The hospital has installed a whole new computer system and there were
'computer people' everywhere in the building! Normally the gal at the Lab desk
would fill out the computer form, now the tech has to do it as well as take your
blood. OMG. Took FOREVER! Feel sorry for those who have to learn a whole new
thing, just to do their job. They are frustrated. BUT, the strangest thing was
this old guy (I know, I know, I'm old too!) came over and sat down next to me
after the woman he came in with went into the lab. He was a chatter box! About
everything. Then this "lobby greeter", nice lady, stopped and said she loved my
sweatshirt....
Her grandson is now a Capt in the Marine
Corps. So then this old guy said look what I can do... and he laid down on the
cement floor and started doing sit ups!!! Just then the tech called my name and
had that look of astonishment on his face! WIERD! You just never
know.......................
On the way home I stopped at the liquor store. While we were at Shenanigans
the other day the bartender, Dawn, let us all try some Cinnamon Whiskey. OMG. It
was soooooooooo good. The kind she had is a Canadian brand called Fireball. The
kind at the liquor store is Sinfire, made in Hood River, OR. I couldn't tell
much difference. The whiskey is smooth and the cinnamon is ......
Apparently the Fireball is made in Canada and that company is suing the Hood River company over the names....... Come on people!
The conversation was going somewhere with my BFF a couple days ago and for
some unknown reason I said something about a 'reefer'....having never smoked
one, I don't recall how the comment started ...and BFF said I was 'dating'
myself. LOL, yes, I guess that is a very old term, but anyway, then I started
thinking how many different ways are there to say "marijuana cigarette" ? Some
of you, I'm sure, know way more about this than I do but going to make a stab at
it... weed, bud, dope, pot, herb, grass, joint, Mary Jane, doobie, Acapulco
gold, Maui wowie, ganja, hash, hemp, loco weed, roach, tea, cannabis, bang. Bout
all I can come up with. U?
Today's birthday boy is none other than the infamous Hollywood Hob-Nobber,
Tom Flores. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY! I hope you have a GREAT day and lots of birthday fun!
The dinner I made the other night was a pie.... I had leftover Honey Baked
ham.... pre-made crusts... lined the bottom with provolone cheese. In the
mixer put 3 eggs, about 1 cup of Greek plain yogurt, 8oz of cream cheese, about
a cup of grated yellow and white cheese, some Parmesan cheese, and mixed it all
together. Stirred in ham. Poured it into the crust. Topped with more provolone and the top
crust. Baked 1hr 10 min at 350º. OMGOOOOD!!!!
I will make this again, adding in spinach ..maybe broccoli... sauteed onion/peppers, mozzarella cheese instead of provalone, riccotta, tomatoes, artichoke hearts......... drooling at the possibilities!
