Clouds ~ Veggies Steamed in Micro ~ Clean Golf Cart ~ Once Upon A Vine ~ Dry Spice Blends ~ Potential El Niño ~ Feral Cats and Alcohol Day


Good 53º cloudy morning.

We hit 100º yesterday. UGH. Kristen just said it's drizzly down in So. Cal. Checked the radar and we have a bit overhead but Vegas is getting hit HARD!
 

"10-16" = pick up prisoner

 
Breakfast yesterday...
First I took some broccoli/carrot/snap pea mix and steamed in the microwave for 2 minutes with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of chicken stock. Then added on top a rerun of my 'veggie/sausage/pasta' from 10-4 ( http://oregonsue.blogspot.com/2015/10/10-4-clouds-bruiser-dude-grapevines-owl.html ) and heated all for another 2 minutes. That and a piece of SF sourdough w/ Clearman's cheese spread. Voilá! YUUMMMMMMM...

 
Exciting day... vacuumed out the car and washed my golf cart! Clean, finally!!! Been awhile!!

Dude watched and kept and eye on things!

 
I finished a bottle of wine Nancy gave me. Loved the name!

I had the chardonnay. REALLY good!!!! A 2011 Sonama wine.
 
From Ellen (Naugle) Pantalone.... LOL
Someone asked an old man: “Even after 70 years, you still call your wife – Darling, Honey, Luv.  What’s the secret?"
Old man: I forgot her name and I’m scared to ask
 
 
Here is an interesting idea... how to mix dry spice blends:
I printed this and taped it inside my spice cupboard door.

October 16th
National Feral Cat Day
My "feral cat" .. for 4½ years in my pasture ...Now:
"my" rocking chair is now Bruiser's rocking chair!

I wrote this about him 3 years ago:
Yesterday morning I went out on the porch to feed Bruiser and he snuck in the house while the screen door was closing. He's so funny... he runs like mad from room to room. Jumps on the dining room chairs, runs into my bedroom and hides under the bed. I put Harley in the bathroom and closed the door to avoid any confrontations. I went to my desk and he came in and jumped on the desk, altering computer stuff since he walked on the keyboard! He purrrred and then went outside. Nut case. Wants to be included.
 
AND it's National Liquor Day
Here are my favorites.....

360 Vodka.... I like the Sorento Lemon, Mandarin Orange, and the Buttered Popcorn!
 
SinFire Whiskey (made in Oregon!) and José
 




And one of my favorite drinks is a dirty martini!
