Good 58º cloudy morning...
Yesterday it was 90º by 2pm. Yuck!
Hard to believe it's the end of May already!
Posted this on May 20th...
"Got an email yesterday from Mike Nelson (LASD ret) and the told me
the following:
Ever wonder how restaurants always have ripe avocados? Put the
unripe avocado in microwave for 45 seconds, let sit for six hours, it will be
ripe, firm and tasty.
Ok, if you have a green avocado, try this and let me know if it
works!!!"
So.......................... I got avocados at Costco, shared most of them
and kept one to experiment with. I let it sit overnight after the 45 seconds in
the microwave... then cut it open.
Going from being hard as a rock to edible. Amazing.
Yesterday for breakfast I sauteéd some sweet peppers, added in a couple
eggs, toped with crumbles of sausage and bacon. Let cook slow with lid on.
Served on a bed of baby spinach, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.....

Yesterday was "mow day" again. Worked until it was too hot. As I was mowing
along I saw something moving in the grass... it was a teeny tiny ground squirrel
baby! I picked it up and rubbed it's head and it relaxed. It was so scared. I
put it up under a tree by a ground squirrel hole.
Then back to mowing...
Then... I saw another one!
Ground squirrels are not my favorite critter, but NO WAY could I kill those
babies!!!! I hope their mother finds them! Soooooooooooooooooooooo
cute!!!!
Dinner was an artichoke...
I also roasted some more carrot chips. They are so good!! Toss with olive
oil and garlic salt... 350º for 25 minutes.
LOL, sitting in my chair after dinner and got a text from Brian ... his dinner:
When he was small he could never eat the whole artichoke, so lucky Mom, I got the heart! It was a sad day when he could eat it all!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tucker's Baseball Saturday. Ciao.
