Good 51º cloudy morning.
OMGOSH, yesterday was so beautiful. The clouds were amazing
and the temp hit 80º, but there was a great breeze and I opened up the house...
doors and windows. NICE!!!
This was on I-5 coming back to Rogue River from Grants Pass after a super
quick errand.....
From my front porch...
Email pal Gator shared this photo of my pal Trish Bowler who is at the GOP
Convention in Cleveland.
Under her picture is the name of my Congressman Greg. He is so awesome.
Just love that man for the wonderful things he does for our veterans!

After Andy and Linda left yesterday
I cooked this dish, becoming one of my
most favorites... Saw something similar on FB but couldn't find it after
searching later. So, I made up my own version...
Preheat oven to 385º...
Take pieces of bread (I used Seattle sourdough), spray each side of each
piece with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Then with a large spoon make an
indentation in each slice, pressing down hard, and do this on the cooking sheet.
One with a non-stick liner... ( https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Silicone-Baking-Mat-Pack/dp/B00V5IM0EU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1468770617&sr=8-4&keywords=non+stick+mat )
Crack one egg into each indentation. Poke the yolk with a super pointy
sharp knife.
Next sprinkle on a cheese blend... whatever is your favorite. I then
sprinkled on Lawry's garlic salt and some black pepper...
Bake 13 minutes. Take out of oven, plate, and put a thin slice of butter on
each.
What amazes me is the bread is soooooooooooo crispy and the egg/cheese is
soooooooooooo yummy! Came out perfect for me, whites cooked and the yolk
slightly soft.
I could eat this every single day!!!

his magic. Takes people so by surprise!

July 19th
National Daiquiri Day
The cocktail was created in 1898, in the tropical heat of the Cuban town of
Daiquiri. Jennings Cox, an American mining engineer working at the local iron
mine, had the bartender shake Bacardi rum, sugar and lime with ice.
It was a hit. Word spread and the top bartenders in Havana were shaking it
up in no time. It is also possible that William Astor Chanler Sr., a US
Congressman who purchased the Santiago Iron Mines in 1902, introduced the
Daiquiri to clubs in NY at that time. In 1909 Rear Admiral Lucas W. Johnson, a
US Navy medical officer, introduced the drink to the Army and Navy Club in
Washington D.C.
The Daiquiri is one of the six classic cocktails highlighted in The Fine
Art of Mixing Drinks, first published in 1948 and still in print.
