Bruiser likes to tear up his "box bed" sometimes... Usually he
naps inside the box on the soft packing, but he wanted to try something
different....
Later for dinner I fixed a filet in the Air Fryer and some of
Costco's Veggie Cakes that I heated in the oven...
(gluten free and all the ingredients listed here: http://www.gardenlites.com/club/superfood-veggie-cakes ...
on their site there is a store locator for your area) These are sooooo good.
I served them atop fresh baby spinach with a drizzle of olive oil... and
some garlic mayo on the veggie cakes....
OMGOOOOOD!!!
Historically this date...
1863 – Arizona is organized as a United
States territory.
My
aunt was born in 1907 in Cananea Mexico when my grandfather was working down
there as a mining engineer. Later she could have said she was born in Arizona,
since it was a Territory and they didn't start keeping birth records until 1912.
But, she was honest and became a 'naturalized citizen' in later years, but did
grow up in Arizona in Bisbee. My grandparents were still Scottish citizens, not
American. He was a mining engineer for the Lavender Pitt copper mine in Bisbee
after Pancho Villa's men told them they had to leave Mexico since they weren't
citizens of Mexico.
1942 – The Battle of Los
Angeles, one of the largest documented UFO sightings in history; the event
lasted into the early hours of February 26, 1942. Interesting.

bit..
As I have said Dude loves laying in the sun on the porch.When the sun would
go behind the clouds (and the temps never got over 46º) he'd stand at the door.
When the sun came back out, he wanted outside again. In and out, in and out, in
and out.... call him "hamburger" !!!
I worked on my taxes. So exciting. Couldn't wait for "wine time" !!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

February 24th
National Corn Chip Day
Today is a holiday with a crunch. One might even suggest that it is a corny
holiday. Well, that's okay because today is National Tortilla Chip Day. Just a
few decades ago, Americans seldom ate Corn Chips and Salsa. It's popularity has
grown immensely. Today is a tribute to that rising popularity of one of
America's favorite munchies.
Did you know? The corn chip
recipe was brought to the U.S. from Mexico by texas businessman Elmer
Doolin.
(here is an interesting article about Doolin..... https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fdo73 )
Celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day with a handful of crunchy, tasty corn
chips and your favorite salsa or
dip.
