I was in a cooking mood, so had some mini gold potatoes....

Cut them in half and cooked about 15 minutes in boiling salted water, drained.

Then with the rest of the ingredients..... button mushrooms, sweet potato ribbons, artichoke hearts, baby carrots.... 

I cooked the carrots in salted boiling water also, for about 12 minutes, and drained.

The mushrooms were cut in half and drizzled with olive oil and "fried" in the Air Fryer (http://www.powerairfryer.com/how-to-videos.php) and same with the sweet potato ribbons...

Drained the artichoke hearts and everything went into the big fry pan.... some garlic added, stirred well, and then the cheddar cheese sauce, and heated...

I  cooked an Omaha sirloin in the Air Fryer.... and Taaaaa Daaaa...

That was a GREAT idea. OMGOOOOOD!!!!

National Moose Day

oops..... I mean, National Mousse Day!

 

New Moon ~ Fog ~ Bruiser/Turkeys ~ Haircut ~ New Keyboard ~ Buster The Boxer ~ Micol Klamm ~ Retired Clintoons ~ Monday Night NFL

Good 40º foggy morning. Rain predicted for tonight.

First thing in the morning I let Dude and Bruiser out. While I was making my tea I looked out and Bruiser was heading down the road towards the gate.... and about 12 turkeys were following him! Hmmm.... looked so funny. So I went out to see if I could get a picture, but the turkeys changed their attention to me!

Yesterday the weather got sunny, then cloudy, then sunny, and back and forth.

 Warmed to 51º. Then some rain.. about 12 drops.

                                         

Yesterday was haircut day.

Leah is such a kick. We never stop talking! I got sort of a different cut this time... a shag. Many different layers of hair. I like it!

Then a stop at Staples for a new wireless keyboard and mouse. Nice big raised keyboard. Comfy.

When I got home I remembered I had forgotten to block off the back part of the house. Unfortunately Dude found all the dog treats and brought them into the living room....

The dental chews, jerky treats, and Milkbones! Don't think he ate any, but he opened the packages. Then in the bathroom one of my slippers was missing. Found it by my desk, full of drool!!!!!  Ah yes, he loves me!

This is hilarious ... shared by pal Ike Saben (LASD ret)....
