Good 40º raining morning. Started sometime in the night, 1/2" so far.
Here is the Siskiyou Summit this morning...
Gloom and clouds yesterday. Then the rain started in at 10:30am. Didn't
rain long. Only warmed to 44º by 1pm.
A turtle was robbed by a group of snails. When questioned as to what
happened, the turtle said, "I don't know. It all happened so fast!"
Speaking of critters... take this survey to find out what wildlife
personality you are.....
Turns out I am a red wolf... (LOL) "Just like the red wolf, you stick by
family and those closest to you through thick and thin. Privacy is important to
you, but your beguiling way make you someone people seek out to spend time with.
You are true to yourself and those who count on you and you must might like
vacationing or living along the North Carolina coast!"
Today there
are several special birthdays...
Leah
Moran Thomas..... my pretty hairdresser... @ Shear Perfection in Grants
Pass....
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY LEAH!
The infamous
and charming Ike Saben (LASD ret) ....
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY BUDDY!
Wendy Harp...
of Avalon, Catalina Island... (her hubby Rick is former LA CO Fire Capt over
there, now ret.)
I remember
this pet pig Wendy used to have. She'd feed him (her?) in the kitchen and this
silly pig hated to have it's face wiped off after it ate (and believe me it
needed a wiping)
and it would
squeal when Wendy did that... so it got to the point 'Piggy' would start
squealing almost immediately after it started eating in anticipation of the face
cleaning! OMG, soooo funny! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!
Historically this date...

The first documented discovery of gold in California occurs at Rancho San
Francisco, six years before the California
Gold Rush.

Villa leads nearly
500 Mexican raiders in an

This picture
was taken in 1910 in Cananea Mexico. These are Pancho Villa's men who came to my
grandparents home and told them since they weren't Mexican citizens they must
leave. My Mother on the left with some kind of bandage on her head, my Uncle
Lloyd in the middle, and my Aunt Agnes on the right.

Tokyo by the
United States Army Air Forces began, one of the most destructive bombing raids

International Toy Fair in New York.
2011 – Space Shuttle
Discovery makes its

And births
this date include...
I watched this show on TV, Dateline hosted by Lester Holt, about OJ and
what the jury never heard at the trial.
Such a freekin' miscarriage of justice with all the DNA evidence not even
discussed by the jury, who was all black but 2 of them white and 1 hispanic. Hello? They switched the trial from
Santa Monica to downtown LA where the jury pool would be mostly black so if they
had convicted him the possibility of riots was very low, unlike if a white jury
convicted him! On OJ's side were three EXTREMELY anti-white prejudicial
attorneys. Nicole was beaten by OJ numerous times, but never reported it. She
also told her sister and Kris (Jenner) Kardashian that he was going to kill her.
Not admissible, as it was hear-say.
Then Det. Furhman didn't back up his findings, by taking "the 5th"! What a
wus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Fuhrman
OK off the
Just when it started raining yesterday, Mike Artoff of Artoff Plumbing came
by to change the filter in the pump house...
My water is pumped from an underground stream, so we have to change the
filter every 9 months or so, otherwise I get a lot of sediment and minerals in
the water that make a mess of the toilet tank etc.
Dinner was a new cabbage thing. I read this recipe and it called for a head
of cabbage coarsely chopped, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1 can chicken stock, 2
pats of butter, and 1 cup of cheese.
Well to begin with I was getting the grater wheel out of the drawer that
goes on my Cuisinart and the slicing wheel cut my finger! Lots of pressure,
some neosporin, and a super tight band aid and it was still bleeding. UGH. Dang
blades are SHARP!!!!!
Ok, so back to the cabbage...
I chopped the cabbage, put 10 oz chicken stock and two pats of butter in
the skillet.... brought to a boil and added the cabbage. Lid on and lowered heat
to simmer and cooked and stirred for 30 minutes.
After the finger injury I was not going to just shred 1/2 cup of carrots!
So I ended up with just over 2 cups. Sounded good anyway!
Add the carrots, add the cheese, 2 cups... not 1 ! Then salt and pepper to
taste. Stirred up and kept on warm.
Also, I took out about 2/3 of the chicken stock. Too much, too watery.
I got ahead of myself (see today's "food day") and had crab cakes with the
cabbage... topped the crab cakes with ricotta cheese and some roasted garlic
salt...
OMGOOOD!! I will make this cheesy cabbage again, but start with only 1/2
cup chicken stock and of course 2 cups grated carrots and 2 cups cheese. Whoever
wrote down the original recipe must have liked "cabbage soup" !!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
