Good 31º frozen ice on the barn roof morning. At least the
rain stopped for a bit.
I sent the rain to So. Cal and Kristen said it has rained
steady since 4pm yesterday. At least it minded me, but now it has to stop for Saturday. It's Jack's high school Marching Band Showcase.
Breakfast...
Microwaved eggs, leftover scalloped potatoes,and my standby, tomato.
I drizzled a little olive oil into a microwave safe dish (I
use one of my pottery cereal/salad bowl and saucer), add two eggs (prick yolk
with sharp knife point), then I add a little garlic salt and grated Parmesan.
Microwave 1 minute 10 -30 seconds, depending on how "runny" you like your
eggs.
And then lunch.... a piece of pumpkin roll, a banana, and
coffee......
OINK
Yesterday the rain petered out, but the creeks were still
running crazy. I have one that comes from the pond up by the BLM...
And another on just on the north side of the property.......
looks like it's taking over the foot bridge....
This is a riot... The Rock can sing!
Pals Suzanne (LASD ret) and Phil (LASD ret) Santisteven are
celebrating their daughter Alyssa's 18th birthday today.

Later dinner was something new I got from Omaha Steaks... some
quinoa/kale cakes and some little potatoes au gratin, with a little dijonnaise
for dipping. The potatoes were good but I have discovered I
don't like kale!! YUCK! LOVE spinach, but the kale is bitter.....
Guess I'll have to find someone who likes kale and give them the rest of
the cakes.

National Chocolate Covered Anything Day
Chocolaholics rejoice!
Its a great day to indulge, binge, "pig out", and otherwise consume to
excess, your favorite food....chocolate. We believe the timing of this day,
during the holiday season, couldn't be better.
Today, we get to enjoy our beloved chocolate by covering something...just
about anything... in a generous amount of chocolate. Pour, spread, or drizzle
chocolate over cakes, cupcakes, pies, pancakes or waffles, nuts, raisins, even
ants (yes, some people actually eat chocolate covered ants!). We will let you
decide what is too extreme, and how much is too much, if any.
As chocoloaholics, we shouldn't need any added incentive to enjoy our
chocolate. In the giving spirit of the holiday season, make sure to give or
share some of your favorite chocolate covered treats today.
