Good morning.......
Ha ha ha... happy morning cat!
47º and
sunny and clear out there..... Hit 87º yesterday afternoon. High clouds and
windy.
90% chance of rain by tomorrow. The satellite shows a lot of clouds coming
from the southwest. Pressure had dropped a lot yesterday but at the moment
coming back up.
An 8.0 earthquake hit Alaska and tsunami warnings went out for the Pacific
Coast by 2:15 yesterday afternoon.
The quake struck 244 miles southeast of Abu Station. I can't find that on
any map! But later news says it was large and deep under the Aleutian Islands.
Another blonde man joke from Lynn...
A blonde man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts: "Did you find
the shampoo?"
He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine."
He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine."

Friends, Dan (ret LASD) and Judy Patz just got a rescue dog. She is a
Wirehaired Dachshund. Someone tossed her in a dumpster. Imagine! Her name is

full name of "Her Royal Highness Princess Riley Anne Gypsy MacDonald of Tayside,
Baroness Bounce" !!!

Breakfast yesterday.... soft boiled eggs atop tomato slices and dollops of
ricotta cheese. If my coffee looks red, it's because I put in some Cinnamon Red
Hot syrup! (sugar free)
In the boiling water I put Trader Joe's 21 Spice Salute (includes a blend
of onion,black pepper, celery seed, cayenne pepper, parsley, basil, marjoram,
bay leaf, oregano, thyme, savory, rosemary, cumin, mustard, coriander, garlic,
carrot, orange peel, tomato, lemon juice, and lemon oil.)
This blend is awesome. You can put it on anything. Sells for $1.99. Get
some. Use in place of all that sodium (salt).
The hummer feeders were filled the day before....
Got a lot of hungry hummingbirds out there! And boy do they buzz around my
head when I go out on the porch!
I went to the market yesterday to get distilled water for the batteries (6)
in my golf cart. They had some USA bay scallops .. HUGE... so I couldn't resist
and bought them!
That was dinner.... First sear the scallops in a small amount of oil
..
Then I squeezed a small amount of basil paste into the oil and sprinkled
the scallops with the Trader Joe's Seasonings..
Then when they were seared on both sides I added in some butter, lemon
juice, and capers....
I served them on a bed of baby spinach with some tomatoes (natch!).
OMGOOOOOD!!!!! I was full and HAPPY.
All I know. Happy Tuesday. Nuff said. Ciao.
