Good 53ยบ foggy morning.
Today is the first day of Spring....
The
March equinox is today, March 20, 2017 at 6:29 A.M. EDT.
Astronomically speaking,
the equinox falls on March 19 or 20 every year, marking spring’s beginning in
the Northern Hemisphere (whereas it announces fall’s arrival in the Southern
Hemisphere). The equinox happens at the same moment worldwide, even if our clock
times reflect a different time zone.
Ok, since Spring is here, these are good tips from
WD-40:
Time to get that spring cleaning checklist ready. To make this year’s
cleaning a little easier, pick up a can of WD-40®
Multi-Use Product and use it to:
Remove gunk and grime from sliding window and door tracks Lubricate vacuum cleaner wheels Shine stainless steel appliances
Plus, my favorite is to spray the engine compartment of your vehicle to
keep critters from chewing on the soy based wire coating under there. Thanks to
Barry Perrou (LASD ret.) for that bit of wisdom as it cost me $750 to have my
wiring harness on my last car replaced due to it being chewed on. Now, no more
of those problems!!!
Yesterday we did get sun in 5 minute spurts about 5 or 6
times. "Chance of rain" for most all of this next week. Rain started in about
5:30 pm and we got 1/4". Just prior to that the clouds were
beautiful...
The turkeys arrived late in the morning. and held down the
bridge out back...
Sorry, that's my clothesline in the way!
Brian and Sami went to Disneyland for the weekend and met up with Kristen,
Alex, and Jack for breakfast yesterday at Downtown Disney (https://www.dtdguide.com/) This apparently
is a shopping and eating area outside of Disneyland, that I have never been
to...
I graduated high school in the 60's, got married in the 60's,

March 20th
NATIONAL RAVIOLI DAY
National
Ravioli Day is observed each year on March 20th. As one of the food holidays,
it is very popular with pasta lovers.
Ravioli
are a traditional type of Italian filled pasta, made up of a filling sealed
between two layers of thin egg pasta dough. The ravioli are usually served in
either a broth or with a pasta sauce. A variety of filling recipes are
available from cheesy to meaty.
Served
often as the main course, ravioli can also be a side dish or even an appetizer.
Many popular recipes bake or deep fry the ravioli. With chocolate added to the
pasta or cream cheese stuffing and a caramel sauce, the dish quickly becomes a
dessert!
Ravioli
can be homemade or may be purchased fresh or frozen in grocery stores. In the
United States, Chef Boyardee popularized the canned ravioli. This ravioli is
filled with either beef or processed cheese and served in a tomato, tomato-meat
or tomato-cheese sauce. St. Louis, Missouri is where the toasted ravioli got
its start.
I love to take the fresh refrigerated ravioli and fry it
crispy, then use a marinara sauce for dipping. Reallllllly
good!!!
And now with my Air Fryer, this will be
great!
