Turmoil In The World ~ Muscle Beach Prank ~ Dr. Joe ~ Corn/Crab Cakes/Avocado ~ Spinach

Good 49º clear sunny morning. 85º our high yesterday.

 

Turkey and France are going through so much hell right now. So sad. Also, as my pal Joan said, maybe because of all that terror and all those deaths the BLM decided not to do their Friday Rage thing. Didn't hear anything about it.

 

 

Yesterday was sort of a loss. I felt as if I was coming down with a cold. Stuffy, sneezy, icky. So took Zycam and didn't do much! Feeling better today. And, no, I didn't get the stationary bike put together. Soon!

 

Muscle Beach weightlifting prank. HILARIOUS! Shared by John Anderson (LASD ret) Thanks John!

Today is my nephew Dr. Joe Mueller's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!!

1959 with his two sisters Nancy and Mary Ann... 

 

 

Historically this date..

1790 – The District of Columbia is established as the capital of the United States after signature of the Residence Act.

1941 – Joe DiMaggio hits safely for the 56th consecutive game, a streak that still stands as a MLB record.

1969 – Apollo program: Apollo 11, the first manned space mission to land on the Moon, is launched from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

........oh how I remember that day. I looked out at the moon and was overcome with the enormity of this task.

1999 – John F. Kennedy, Jr., piloting a Piper Saratoga aircraft, dies when his plane crashes into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. His wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette are also killed.

And births this date include...

1888 – Shoeless Joe Jackson, American baseball player (d. 1951)

 

1907 – Orville Redenbacher, American farmer and businessman (d. 1995)

1907 – Barbara Stanwyck, American actress (d. 1990)

1911 – Ginger Rogers, American actress and dancer (d. 1995)

1958 – Michael Flatley, American dancer

1967 – Will Ferrell, American comedian

Dinner was easy... I cooked some corn on the cob. First put vinegar in the water, bring to boil, add a bunch of garlic salt, drop in the corn, remove from heat, leave lid on, it will be ready when you eat.  

As I have said before, the vinegar keeps the corn from getting mushy. Stays crunchy. I keep a bottle (yes, and old vodka bottle) next to the stove with vinegar in it. I like things handy when cooking. Don't like having to go dig in cupboards. 

I baked some crab cakes......

Pomegranate mayo on the avocado, BF Southwestern Ranch on the crab cakes....

   PERFECT!!!

 

Then it was iced tea (not in the mood for wine, can you imagine!), chair, and NCIS Los Angeles and a Blue Bloods.

 

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

Fresh Spinach Day

 

Fresh Spinach  Day is our opportunity to put healthier food into our diets.

 

Popeye the Sailor is right. Spinach is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It tastes good, and there are many recipes. Many people turn up their nose to it, without even trying it.

 

The reason for eating fresh spinach, is the nutritional value is highest, when it is fresh and uncooked.

 

Celebrate this day by introducing some fresh spinach to your meals today. You could start by mixing in some spinach into your garden salad. Your family may not even notice, but by doing so, you are making them healthier!

 

Gardeners know that spinach is easy to grow. And, it's hardy. You can plant it as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Why, that's today in many parts of the country! More on Growing Spinach.

 

There is another day that we celebrate this healthy vegetable. It's National Spinach Day, celebrated on March 26th. We think it is great that there are two days to celebrate this wonderful vegetable, and to encourage people to eat healthier.

 

Did You Know? V-8 Vegetable Juice is not just tomato juice. It includes 8 vegetables. One of them is Spinach.
