Good 46º supposed to be clear today morning. Yesterday had it
moments....
Just cloudy today and a chance of rain tomorrow and rain
on Wednesday. The Dept of Forestry has some burn piles up in the trees behind my
property in the BLM. According to my neighbor the burn will take place today.
Pretty wet up there. Wonder how that will work.
10-27 .. LASD radio code for "any return on number or
subject?"
OMG, this video came from the Huntoons (Tally & Wilsonite Spencer
...also LACOFD ret) ... Thanks!! Hilarious!!
Bruiser was laying on my arm while I watched this and he intently watched
it also!
Yesterday Mike and Jennifer came over. Dude gets so excited when we have company he almost climbed in their car and into Jennifer's lap! We had snacks and wine
and chatted. Dude was in love with Mike. Well, Mike gave him
all his attention! LOL. No wonder. I had the heat on for a bit
but then the sun came out and it warmed up. I had them taste the 360 Buttered
Popcorn Vodka that I got recently. It's good but everyone I have told about it
says things like, "Ewwwww...." Come on people, don't judge before you taste!
Jennifer was totally SURPRISED at how good it was. So was Mike! Now they are
going to buy some! LOL. Jennifer made a Brussels sprout salad. I am not a fan of
Brussels sprouts, but this was really good. She grated the sprouts and had a
lemony dressing. I told her I want the recipe! See, another leap to judgement
prior to tasting!
The SF Giants did a big comeback again in game 5 of the World
Series against the KC Royals winning 5-0. Next games are Tuesday and Wednesday
8pm ET, in Kansas City ... 5pm out here in the West. Broadcast on
FOX.
I made the Green Tomato Soup (my concocted recipe!) yesterday
in the crockpot. I chopped up about 8 cups of green tomatoes. Put in crockpot
with a box of chicken stock. Added in 7 cleaned (veins and seeds removed) and
chopped jalapeño peppers and about 1 cup of dried garlic/onion/red pepper flakes
that had been reconstituted and used when I infused olive oil. I drain and save
those items and freeze them to add to recipes later. I also added in about 10
small whole peeled garlic cloves..
After the ingredients had cooked for a couple hours I added in bacon
crumbles and 6 stalks of chopped celery (in the picture below that is only 3
stalks!)
About 4 hours into the cooking I added in half a package of Raditore
Pasta
and the jar of Prego Artisan Three Cheese.
Cooked for about another 3 or so hours on low. I didn't add salt or pepper until the
cooking was done and I tasted it. Actually this can't be called Green Tomato Soup...it's Green Tomato Pasta!
For a "vegetable" pasta dish this is REALLY GOOD!!!!! Green tomatoes,
whodda thought!

October 27th
Navy Day
Many
nations around the world celebrate their navies, with a special day dedicated to
them. Each country selects a date relevant to their navy, often the birth date
of the navy.
In
the United States, Navy Day is commonly celebrated on October 27th.
This date was selected as it was the birth date of President Theodore
Roosevelt, an avid supporter of the U.S. Navy. In the 1970's, research
determined that the birthday of the U.S. Continental Navy was October 13, 1775.
At the time, efforts were made to move Navy Day to this date. However, Navy Day in the United States, is still largely
recognized as October 27th.
On Navy Day, give some well deserved
attention to your proud U.S. Navy, and to the sailors who serve our
country.......Salute!
and....
American Beer Day
HEY.... all you former Navy guys... have a beer today!!!
