Good 56º sunny clear morning. This is the temp we generally
warm up to in the winter! UGH. Should stay in the mid to high 90ºs all week.
Whine whine whine... too hot for me!

I LOVE frogs.... and love this picture:
The salad I made started with cooking quinoa with a big spoon
of crushed garlic in the water. Cooked in rice cooker. Cooled.
Then I cut up celery, sweet peppers, drained and quartered
some artichoke hearts, and drained sliced mushrooms.
Next I grated some zucchini, put it in a colander with salt
and let it sit 30 minutes, then squeezed out the extra moisture.
I heated pre-cooked bacon til crisp, drained on paper towels,
cut up and cut up some goat cheese...
Cut up some sugar snap peas...
and mixed everything together...
Serve with your favorite dressing (or not) and top with
crunchy salad tortilla strips..... Jeannie makes a similiar salad and uses a poblano chili dressing from Fred Meyer. Or... a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice drizzled over would be good.... or a light Asian dressing.
At Jennifer's Bob manned the barbecue and
beer.... Poor Bob, a brave man... stuck with three women!
Jennifer, Micol, and I manned the wine!
Dinner was super! Jennifer's ginormous hot dogs with homemade sauerkraut, Micol's corn on the cob and pasta salad, and my quinoa salad. Micol heated the corn in the micro in the husks, removed the silk, spread on mayonnaise and a spice (I can't remember) and wrapped in foil. Bob reheated them on the barbecue. OMGOOOOOD!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed Jennifer's pets.... Heaven (a Great Pyrenees mix), Keeper (Australian Shepherd), and FAT CAT Bridey Murphy!
Great evening. Thank you all!!! xoxo

Really irritated with either my computer or the danged AOL. Had the blog mostly written and AOL shut down and I had to re-do it all. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr................... Hopefully I can get my new computer from Turk sometime soon. He's not been feeling well, so a delay in him looking at it. The most important thing is for Turk to be better!
All I know. Happy Sunday. Nuff said. Ciao
