Good 37º clear and gonna be in the 80ºs later morning.
Temp got all the way up to 63º yesterday. Today might be
another story. Predictions for 80ºs. Drat. Grass will be hip deep to a tall
Indian fast!
The news this morning is awful in the case of the tornado that hit the
South, Georgia and Mississippi and 21 people died. Awful that a gunman shot 6
people in a FedEx facility in Georgia. Also weird in that Craig Ferguson is
quitting the Late Late Show. George Clooney is engaged to be married! Egypt
sentenced almost 700 to death. Paul Simon and wife arrested. AND... Minneapolis
renames Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples Day". Geeeeze Louise!
A very sad note ... my friend Trish Bowler's (Trish is the
wife of LASD ret Lt. John Bowler) nephew died in the tornado in Arkansas. His
wife and two daughters survived. He was shielding one of his daughters when a
metal beam from the attic hit him in the head. His wife and one daughter are in
the hospital with broken bones. Dan was only 31. His home was completely
destroyed. Here is the site where you can make a donation to this family....
Yesterday I was up early and off to the hospital lab for a
fasting blood test. I got there just after 7am and was out before 7:30. Nobody
there that early! Then to the market for fresh veggies and some 1 cup containers
for my soup. Gotta keep it in perspective .... portion control! Home to clean.
Going through more stuff.....

Yesterday I decided to make the Meatball in a Tomato recipe.
I had picked up some lean ground turkey so changed the recipe a little making it
less caloric... don't need pork and beef... nor the bread and
milk.... The original recipe is on 4-27.. in the archives on the left.....
I used some dried garlic and onion (didn't have any fresh) and browned
those along with the ground turkey. Using pepper and Mrs. Dash for seasoning.
Let it cool. Added in the dried parsley and Panko, 1 egg, and Parmesan
cheese.
I used a melon-baller to remove the center of the
tomatoes...
Drizzled olive oil in each tomato, sprinkled in some black pepper, and
Mrs. Dash. Added in the cooled meat mixture... baked 30 (not 20) minutes at
350º. Then removed tomato top and topped each with a mixture of Panko, Parmesan,
and olive oil. Baked another 15 minutes, until the tops became golden brown.
I served the tomatoes on a bed of baby spinach that had been seasoned with
a little olive oil, some balsamic vinegar, and Mrs. Dash. OMGOOOOOOD!!!!!! Will
make these again for sure.
All I know. Happy Tuesday. Nuff said. Ciao.
