Good 35º (wow, heat wave!) morning. No fog! Amazing.
Yesterday it hit in the high 60º's and everyone was
happy!!!
PICTURE of the day..... inquisitive pups....
Mike Artoff came over yesterday and cleaned out the clogged pipes.
All working good now. When I turned on the disposal the
water would come up in the other side of the sink. Swell.
The Bruise climbed around inside Mike's truck but when he was ready to
leave the Bruise was on the front porch with a bird he caught. UGH! I so hate it
when he kills birds. Poo.
I went to Grants Pass and picked up my computer (Hal) from Turk. He has it
working PERFECT. He is such a computer wiz ... saved all my documents and
photos. Sigh... so happy!!!! Thanks T! I think I should call Turk, Dr. T. CE.
(Doctor of Computers - Expert)
Then to Brian's office to drop him off something and for a short visit.
Then to Cartwright's Meats to pick up Bill's birthday presents.
Bill's birthday was the
15th but he was so sick with the flu. Now he (and Jeannie both) can enjoy eating
again. Then had a long awaited overdue visit with my BFF and some good wine and
dog cookies for Chaka the Wild Child Dog!
Back home I had gumbo for dinner. I made it early... with Zatarain's Gumbo
Mix, leeks, celery, carrots, pea pods, broccoli, and the rest of the leftover
fish............ Put all in the crockpot with 6 cups of water and a dash of
lemon juice. Cooked on high for 2 hours then turned to low for 4 more hours...
was on "warm" when I finally got home...
Now, I'm sure you know that mushrooms will not get sticky and icky if you
store them in the fridge in a paper bag. The plastic bags make them go
bad fast!
This soup was OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD!!! What a great way to use up veggies and
you can either put in fish (shrimp, scallops, oysters, crab or lobster meat) or
sausage or chicken or turkey or ..... whatever floats your boat or is taking up
room in the fridge! I would have added okra (a love of mine... I KNOW, if you
don't have Southern blood in you, you probably don't like okra!)
