Good 47º super foggy morning. With all the drizzle the rain
in the gauge is up to 2" now.
Happy Throw Back Thursday....
This was the first "business card" I made, with my old site that is not in
use anymore.
We had quite a collection of pets back then..
Yesterday the gloom just hung around. We warmed to 58º.
I finally finished up my taxes and got them ready to mail. YES! Pain in the
___! Then I vacuumed some
, did a couple loads of laundry
,
and washed dishes
. Wow, over the top excitement.
, did a couple loads of laundry,. Wow, over the top excitement.I was amazed at Willie Nelson's son Lucas, how he nails his dad's song "Always On My Mind" and sounds just like him!!!

Here is a good one shared by pal Dave Clark (LASD ret) .....
I pulledinto the crowded parking lot at our local shopping center and
rolled down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever pup had fresh
air....
She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon
her that she must remain there. I walked to the curb backwards, pointing my
finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you understand
me?"
"Stay. Stay."
(This is going to hurt. Read on....)
The driver of a nearby car, a pretty young blonde, gave me a strange
look, and said, "Why don't you just put it in 'park' ?"

Marion's Gourmet Tuna
Casserole
1 large can water packed tuna, drained
and forked into small pieces
1 bag egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1/2 pkg baby spinach
leaves
30 small mushrooms, crispy fried in
olive oil
1 can cream of mushroom soup with
garlic
corn bread stuffing
cube butter
Spray cooking spray in casserole
dish.
Cook and drain noodles.
Mix sour cream, tuna, fried mushrooms,
and spinach
Place half the noodles in the baking
dish
Spread half the tuna mixture on
top
Drop by spoonfuls half of the mushroom
soup
Repeat layers
Top with stuffing mix, enough to
cover
Melt butter and drizzle over
stuffing.
Bake 350º 35-45 minutes...until
bubbly.
This could be made with canned salmon,
or even canned chicken.
Later it was reruns for dinner, chair, wine (thank goodness!) and TV (Chicago PD).

March 9th
Popcorn Lover's Day
(That will be tonight's dinner!!!)
Date When Celebrated : Second
Thursday in March
Many of us love popcorn. So, it only makes sense that there should be a
special day just for popcorn lovers.
Popcorn is good for you, when eaten plain. It is not as healthy, when it's
loaded with salt and butter. (What fun is that?????)
This day is intended to enjoy popcorn and share it with others. Bring some
to work. Or microwave some and put in in a basket in your office.
You can have it in a traditional way, with salt and butter. Or, you can add
anyone of a number of flavors to it. Some popular flavors are cheddar cheese,
parmesan garlic, and even hot pepper! There is no requirement as what seasoning
to use today, as long as your eat plenty popcorn. Now, that's not hard to do, is
it!? (Sriracha and melted butter poured over and cheddar cheese...
yummmmm!)
It's also National Crabmeat Day... so make the crab cakes I posted on
yesterday's
blog.
