Yesterday I took my car into the dealer for service. Nancy
picked me up and we met up with Jennifer at The Vine, next to Brian's office,
for lunch.
Brian came over and took this for us....
Jennifer had this pasta dish with shrimp and a lemony
sauce...
Nancy and I both had the seared ahi tuna with quinoa on
spinach and cucumber and tzatziki sauce (a Greek sauce made from yogurt,
cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, salt, and sometimes dill and lemon or
parsley)
OMGOSH, the food there is soooooooooooooo GOOD! Wine was good
too. Dustin and Ashley have done a super job bringing The Vine back to superb!
A selfie with Dustin.....
Here is their menu:
They also have gluten free items, fixed in a separate area from the regular kitchen
Then it was pick up a package at the post office (I had
ordered more of that Walden Farms Pomegranate Mayo)
, and home.
, and home.
Historically this date..
1930 – Judge Joseph Force
Crater steps into a taxi in New York and disappears never to be seen
again.
....interesting
story....
1945 – World War
II: Hiroshima, Japan is devastated when the atomic
bomb "Little
Boy" is dropped by the United States B-29 Enola Gay. Around 70,000
people are killed instantly, and some tens of thousands die in subsequent years
from burns and radiation
poisoning.
And births this date

Here is a quick and easy recipe. It's my pal Patty's
Cowboy Beans:
1 medium onion chopped
3-4 garlic cloves minced
1/2 pound bacon cut into 1" pieces
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup catsup
1/4 cup molasses
1 can lima beans, drained
1 large can pork 'n beans, do not drain
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
Brown bacon, add onions and garlic, cook until soft. Add sugar, catsup,
& molasses....stir to blend. Add beans, except pork 'n beans. Cook on top of
stove, covered, for 1½ hours. Add pork 'n beans the last half hour so they don't
get mushy. I also add in a can of chopped green chilies.
OMGOSH these are sooooo good!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.

National Mustard Day
National Mustard Day celebrates the "King of the
Condiments".
Mustard is a must have for hot dogs, sausages, and a wide range of
sandwiches. Its an important ingredient in many recipes, too.
When it comes to condiments, Mustard is among the most popular. When it
comes to longevity, mustard is unrivaled. It has literally been in use to spice
up meals for thousands of years. To retain it's status, mustard has not stood
still. Rather, it has diversified. It's not just yellow anymore. There's a
growing selection, including Honey Mustard, Bold and Spicy, Sharp and Creamy,
and of course Dijon Mustard. Take a trip to your refrigerator, and you will
probably find two or three different types of mustard. A trip to the grocery
store, will reveal even more selections.
Have a happy National Mustard
Day.
