Good 57º clear and sunny morning. Got to 98º yesterday. UGH!
Pollen count right now is 9.30 out of 12. Good luck people!
Yesterday morning I met up with Brian and family at Tap Rock. I
know......... 3 times in 5 days eating there! Tucker and Sami love eating at the
buffet. I was a little early. I wore one of my 'cat' shirts. A lady walking by
told me she loved it.
Then I showed her my cat purse. She went wild. On her way back to her table
we talked about cats. I said my Harley Davidson lived to be 22. She had a female
cat who lived to almost 24! Then I showed her Bruiser's picture. She
melted!
Brian, Jen, Tucker, Sami had the buffet.
Tucker's low cal waffle... whipped cream and chocolate chips:
Sami's .. but at least she has a plate of fruit and a piece of ham:
I ordered off the menu ... a Vegetarian Omelet: Fresh organic spinach,
Tillamook Swiss Cheese, zucchini, cremini mushrooms, tomato, garlic, onions.
Topped with a classic Hollandaise sauce. Served with fresh seasonal fruit and a
blueberry muffin. OMG this was sooooooooo good!!!! The zucchini wasn't mushy,
still a little bite to it. Hollandaise sauce was perfect! Of course a mimosa or
two!
Great breakfast. Such fun with family! Taking Sami's picture sometimes is a
challange...
My pal Ann Ramirez (LASD ret), wife of Gabe (LASD ret) sent this picture of
their dog Ellie Mae ... she has a moustache! How cute is that!

So, came home from Tap Rock, ran '5 Miles' to the trash can,
decided to cook something healthy for dinner... Reconstituted some Harmony House
peas, and some artichoke hearts, garlic, mozzarella cheese, and a piece of
salmon...
I sauteéd the salmon crispy on the outside with some lemon
infused olive oil (my recipe)
and steamed the broccoli. Then I added the artichoke hearts,
broccoli, and peas to the pan with salmon and heated well adding in some butter
and fresh squeezed lemon and minced garlic.
I dished it up and topped the salmon with some Siracha Mayo~!
And mozzarella on the veggies. OMGOOOOD!!!
This must be true, as I posted a blurb about it yesterday.

Problem: Rubbery Celery
Solution: Wrap in aluminum
foil and store in the fridge.
Celery is one of those veggies that can quickly go
from crisp and crunchy to rubbery and tasteless, but you can lengthen the life
of this vegetable by taking a few extra minutes to store it properly. After
separating, washing, and drying the stalks, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil.
This keeps the air out and moisture in, but still allows the ethylene gas to
escape (as opposed to plastic bags, which trap it in), slowing the ripening
process and keeping the veggie fresh for up to a few
weeks.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

Jelly Filled Donut Day
Spell It Doughnut Or Donut, Just Spell It Delicious
(Krispy Kreme glazed raspberry filled donut!!!
OMG!)
Introduction: Doughnut History
A doughnut is a pastry, a small,
fried ring of sweet, leavened dough. Doughnuts leavened with baking powder are more
dense than the fluffier, yeast-leavened doughnuts.
There are many types of doughnuts. Just
a few examples include bismarks or jelly doughnuts, raised doughnuts leavened
with yeast, squares and twists, crullers made from twisted cake-doughnut dough
and French doughnuts made with cream-puff pastry dough. Doughnuts can be filled
or unfilled, plain, glazed or iced.
Originally a Dutch recipe without a
hole, the dough is dropped into hot oil, and was originally called an olykoek,
or oily cake. The first written reference to “doughnut” is in Washington
Irving’s 1809 in History of New York, where he writes of “balls of sweetened
dough, fried in hog’s fat, and called doughnuts, or olykoeks.” The first known
printed record of the shortened “donut” appears in “Peck’s Bad Boy And His Pa,”
a story by George W. Peck published in 1900.
As the story goes, in 1847, 16-year-old American Hanson Gregory created the hole in the center of the doughnut. He used the top of a round tin pepper container to punch the holes, so the dough would cook evenly.
