Good 38ยบ foggy morning.
I doubt the sun came out in Grants Pass yesterday. The fog was
still hanging around at 2pm:
But, here in Rogue River we did have some sun!
Happy THROW BACK THURSDAY!
The house where I grew up on Stockbridge Avenue in Los Angeles... aka El
Sereno.
Me sitting on the porch steps... Easter 1949
Some changes... Daddy painted the steps red and after the olive trees were
removed from the parkway (I loved climbing in them!) Daddy planted a macadamia
nut tree in front. The roof was flat and Daddy and I would climb up there with
slices of watermelon and watch the fireworks on the 4th from the park on Eastern
Ave!
New owners made it a two story... still has the same front
door. Door must be 60+ years old. Sad to me that these people would take an iconic Spanish Style home and change it so drastically. (Idiots)
House on the left is where Ellen (Naugle) Pantalone (Wilson W'63) lived.

In the summer of 1977, Claudine Longet
was on trial for the death of her boyfriend and Olympian, Spider Sabich. She had
been living with him in the famous ski resort town, Aspen Colorado. Spider asked
Claudine and her three children to move out. On March 21, 1976, Spider returned
home from skiing and took a shower. Claudine, who had been drinking white wine
at a local bar, approached him in the bathroom with a .22 caliber pistol and
asked him how to use it. Her story was that it accidentally fired into him. Andy
Williams flew into Aspen to be by her side. Andy stayed at the home owned by
John Denver. She was convicted of negligent homicide and spent thirty days in
jail. Claudine never spent any jail time and asked the court if she could fly to
Mexico. They allowed it. She ended up marrying her defense attorney. There are
no current photos of Longet. She lives under the radar and resides in
Aspen.

Yesterday I saw this ad for Crown Royal Apple. OMG, that
sounds like it might be really good! Gonna have to get some and
try....
Was feeling a little puny yesterday so kept the eating on the down low.
Thought some cream of chicken soup would be good.... I had just received via UPS
some Harmony House dried green beans from Amazon.com. I put some in a cup with
boiling water and added in some of the dried mushrooms and let sit until
rehydrated.
I mixed the soup with a can of chicken stock instead of water (richer
flavor) and then stirred in half a tub of Philly Cream Cheese, Bacon Flavor!
When smooth I stirred in the vegetables.
This was REALLY soooooooooooo good. Only problem I had was the mushrooms.
They were a tad chewy. Next time I will use canned sliced mushrooms. I think the
dried ones would work better in something that was cooked longer... like a pot
of soup or beans or....... Crock Pot dishes would be better. BUT the dried green beans were WONDERFUL!!!
Had a fire in the wood stove. Dude napped on his couch and the Bruise laid
in front of the fire and watched the TV~!
All I know. Nuff said. Have a good TBT. Ciao.
