Good 39º very foggy morning. Yesterday another 1/2" of rain.
Yesterday was errand and chopper cleaning day. I picked up some homemade
Manhattan style clam chowder from Jennifer at her work and dropped off some
things for her. Teeth cleaned by Liz.
Liz and I had a fun time chatting about everything! I only see her twice a
year and was thinking we should get together for lunch! (Whadda think
Lizardbreath?) After the 'whites' were made pearly again Dr. Susan checked them
out. Said all was good! Was going to do some shopping afterwards, but only
stopped by Brian's office to drop off some stuff. By then it was 5:30 and I hate
driving in the dark. Besides the wind was horrendous and rain coming down like
crazy, so came home.
This came from my friend Gracie Elliott (LASD ret).... a bear intrudes on a
filming out in the boonies... You will smile!
Saw this on FB.... made me laugh because I am ALWAYS taking pictures of my
food....
Historically this date...
1920 – The American
Civil Liberties Union is founded.
So, check out
the founder...... no wonder they are assholes!
The first
'chairman' of the ACLU was Harry F. Ward:
1981 – Twenty minutes after Ronald Reagan is inaugurated, at age 69 the oldest man
ever to be inaugurated as U.S. President, Iran releases 52 American hostages.
.... see,
they knew who they'd have to deal with, not like the wuss in the White House
now!
And births
this date include....
1896 – George Burns, American actor,
comedian (d. 1996)
1920
– DeForest Kelley, American

In the second

While watching Blue Bloods on Monday
night, Police Commissioner (Tom Selleck) was dining at Delmonicos. That
restaurant was on my bucket list and when I was on a cruise with the Deputies On
The Go from NY to Nova Scotia and back... my friend Joan and I ate there. She
was a New Jersey girl and gave me the 'Nickel Tour' of the city. Outside the
restaurant was this NY cop..... twirling his baton! LOL...
Beautiful restaurant! We were really early, ahead of the crowd.
A Delmonico steak and onion rings. YUMMMMMM Great food and super service!
So, on Blue Bloods I took this off the TV... Selleck standing in front of
Delmonicos (in the white coat) ... where he ended up getting shot!
Since it was Popcorn Day, I had some for dinner... along with a mini pizza.
Then it was chair, wine, and more Blue Bloods! The Manhattan Chowder is for
tonight.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

National Cheese Lover's Day
Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day! Did you know that the average
American consumes about 31 pounds of cheese each year? That may seem like a lot,
but for the average French person it’s 50 pounds!
There are more than 900 known cheeses in the world, and they can all be
classified by texture. Here are the primary classifications and some examples:
fresh cheese (ricotta); soft cheese (feta); semi-soft cheese (Fontina);
semi-hard cheese (Gouda); hard cheese (Cheddar); double or triple crème cheese
(Brillat-Savarin); blue cheese (Gorgonzola); washed rind cheese (Limburger); and
bloomy rind cheese (Brie).
People have been making cheese for at least 8,000 years, so the cheeses we
enjoy today are all relatively young by comparison. Take Emmental (also known as
Swiss cheese), for example. It’s only been around since the first century
BC!
Visit your local cheesemonger and pick up your favorite kind of artisan
cheese or cook a cheesy dish for dinner tonight in honor of National Cheese
Lover’s
Day!
