Good 71º clear sunny morning. Yesterday we hit 103º!!! UGH. Kept the AC on
all night and for now it's off, but will come back on soon. The humidity is in
the 71% rank. I just thank God for Mr. Carrier who invented air
conditioning!!!
I posted this 3 years ago and was reminded of how GOOD it was.... getting
some egg roll wrappers SOON!!
I wanted to
cook so decided on egg rolls...
First I mixed
some baby spinach,
some
of roasted chicken, cucumber, a little lettuce, and grated
cheese.
Added in some
sesame dressing... wrapped the mixture in the egg roll
wrapper...
These were
fried in garlic infused olive oil.... Mixed the sesame dressing with some
mayonnaise for a dipping sauce. OMGOOD~!!!

Political
vocabulary update from my pal Pat Kelly... :
POTUS
Just as our basic vocabulary grows and evolves on an almost daily basis, so too does our usage of technical terminology and acronyms.
For example, the president of our once-great Nation has been identified by the acronym "POTUS," which used to stand for "President Of The United States.” However, during the past 7 years, many may not be aware of the subtle change in meaning that has come about with that term. The current occupant of the Oval Office is still referred to as the POTUS, but the term has become much more descriptive of the man presently holding this once revered position: POTUS now means: "Piece Of Totally Useless Shit."
Just wanted to get your day started right with an important fact.
As they say in Texas: "You can't get the water to clear up until you get the cow shit out of the creek."

I went into Grants Pass and met Jennifer and Mike at The Vine for dinner.
It is next door to Brian's State Farm office.
I had told Mike I wanted to celebrate his birthday and buy him dinner, so
FINALLY, a month later we got to do that! His birthday was May 4th!
And Nan, I did salute your birthday yesterday with a dirty martini....
vodka rocks!
Mike had the Wild Rogue Burger (cheddar, bacon, caramelized onions, bbq
sauce)
Jennifer had the Chicken Piccata with mashed potatoes .... I tasted it. AWESOME!
And I had the Vine Pasta (Portabello mushroom blend, browned butter, angel
hair, topped with tomatoes and parmesan) OMGOOOOOD!!!!!!
We all enjoyed every bite! And our waitress was Sue! Another So. Cal
transplant, as well as Mary who also works there (had been married at one time
to an LAPD!) Such nice folks there. Love it.
The clouds were forming early from the east...
And almost 9pm this was so gorgeous!
Historically this date...
1692 – Port
Royal, Jamaica, is
hit by a catastrophic
earthquake; in just three minutes, 1,600 people are killed and 3,000
are seriously injured.
1832 – Asian
cholera reaches Quebec,
brought by Irish
immigrants, and kills about 6,000 people in Lower
Canada.
1982 – Priscilla
Presley opens Graceland to the public; the bathroom where Elvis
Presleydied five years earlier is kept
off-limits.
And births
this date include...
1917
– Dean
Martin, American singer, actor, and producer (d.
1995)
............gadz, I didn't know he looked so bad before he
died!
On top of that...in the
last picture he's in a bar and his pants are unbuttoned!!!
HUH?
1952 – Liam
Neeson, Irish actor
Later back home from the day's adventures.... feed the dog, let the cat
in..... ahhhh, chair, wine, TV. Last night no Hallmark movies or pageants, just
Tom Selleck and Blue Bloods!
Good thing that Miss California didn't win the Miss USA. They asked her
opinion of inequality between the rich and the poor.
In our "land of opportunity" WHY do the poor people's problems rest on the
rich? If you made money and can live the lifestyle, then why do you have to give
your money away? Stupid! EVERYONE needs to work. Even welfare people need to
earn that welfare money!!! Ok ok ok... off the soapbox~!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

June 7th
National Chocolate Ice Cream Day
National Chocolate Ice Cream Day is a field day for ice cream makers.
However, we probably don't need any additional incentive to eat Chocolate Ice
Cream. And, with the arrival of warm, summer weather, cooling off with a little
(or a lot) of chocolate ice cream is a natural.
Celebrate National Chocolate
Ice Cream Day by enjoying it a few
times today. It's as simple as that. Just make sure to eat it quickly before it
melts in the summer heat.
