Good 41ยบ cloudy really dark raining morning. 1/4" so far since about 5am
when the rain started.
We're gonna get it for a few days.. at least it looks like by St. Paddy's
Day it will back off...
Sacramento/San Francisco area getting it too and wind and snow for the
Tahoe area. So. Cal will be nice.
This video is an amazing story of a USMC vet who was severely disabled by
an IED explosion. He makes an appeal to Trump re the corrupt VA. (Keep your
Kleenex handy!)
So, Thursday I posted a photo of Jerry working Avalon Station 1969, on the "You know you're from Catalina when..." Facebook page and have gotten so many heartwarming comments from current and former Catalina folks! I also posted this on FB page LASD Sworn Past and Present. He was sooooooooooo well liked!!!
Yesterday was back therapy, the market for chicken thighs and corned beef
and cabbage for my St. Paddy's dinner. I have a bottle of Guinness in the fridge
so will put the corned beef and spices in the Crock*pot with the beer. I
also got cabbage and carrots. Asparagus was on sale, the real skinny ones that I
love. And I got some sea scallops. So will fix some of those tonight along with
risotto and asparagus. YUMMMM
I also picked up Patty and Cliff's mail at the post office, put the first
class letters in an envelope and mailed it off to them. When their house here is
finished being worked on (water leak caused a lot of damage...floors, carpets,
etc) in about 3 weeks they will be back. Then their house goes up for sale and
they will be permanent residents of the coast.

After shopping and unloading the car I was pooped so it was chair, wine,
and the news. Wasn't in the mood for cooking so had the last of the reruns.
Ok, here's a question for you.... What is the only award in Hollywood named
after a real woman? Tony? Emmy? Oscar? Grammy? (** answer at the bottom)
Don't forget, tonight when you go to bed set your clocks ahead!!!!!!

March 12th
March 12th is National Baked Scallops Day
Scallops are one of the most popular shellfish in the world. These meaty
mollusks are low in fat and are delicious sauteed, deep fried, or baked! Baking
them leaves out a lot of the butter and fat that otherwise go into cooking this
lean, white seafood. Put scallops on the menu and in the oven for National Baked
Scallops Day!
I won't be baking mine, but will have scallops all the same. I cook mine
with butter, lemon juice, and capers.... fried.
**the answer is
Tony
