Good 48º somewhat less smokey morning. Apparently
the smoke is all blowing towards the coast. Stand by Patty and Cliff... they
said on the news it was going to Gold Beach! Kept windows open last night
here.... got quite cool. Going to be in the mid to high 90ºs through next week.
YUCK.
A blonde putting oil in her car......OMGOSH,
really????
PICTURE of the day.........
...seems apropos at this time.... but I'm sure Steven
Seagal's fingers were Photoshopped in!
Dinner: lamb chops and couscous with tomatoes and
olives.
First I picked some fresh Rosemary, put it in the
blender to chop. Mixed it with oil, garlic, and sea salt. Let it marinate 30
minutes at room temp.
Chopped olives and added to rice cooker with couscous,
water, tomato, and butter.
Preheated oven to 400º. Cooked lamb in oven-proof
skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side. Put in oven for 10 minutes for med rare.
Served it all up on a bed of cut lettuce...
SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!
Went to Medford yesterday. Our past Commandant of our
Marine Corps League, Herb Robb, had 3 big bags filled with salt water
taffy, Tootsie Roll candy, and boxes with pouches of Cheese-It's for our Casey
who is in Afghanistan. Hope to get the boxes off next week.
Our smoke was lighter here in Rogue River, but it was
nasty in Medford! There was a flashing sign that said, "Due to low
visibility...Turn on your headlights"
... and in the trailer park where Herb lives as I was
leaving this California Quail couple was walking across the street!
I get such a kick out of them. So cute!
Today is the 50th

All I know. Happy Saturday. Nuff said.
Ciao.
