Good 46ยบ cloudy with spots of sun morning....
Picture 1, "my mountain" Fielder Mtn looking SW. Picture 2 looking NW.
Picture 3 looking N. And finally back to "my mountain".......
Shoot, it looks like Fall, not Spring!!!
Yesterday stayed gloomy cloudy all day with an occasional rain
drop until early evening when the rain started up more. Heard it in the night
and we ended up with 3/4".
Breakfast was a couple hard boiled eggs, some fresh mozzarella
cheese, coffee, and an upside down pineapple cake (Omaha Steaks). Take cake from
freezer, microwave 55 seconds, turn upside down on dish. Easy and SOOOOOOOO
good!!!!
From the Omaha site:
Nostalgic flavor with modern flair: individual Upside-Down Cakes combine
traditional deliciousness with nearly instant prep time and a smart, convenient
size. After all, the engaging flavors combine so beautifully. You have the
buttery, moist, tender sponge cake with a little bit of baked crisp around the
bottom edge. Then the sweet, silky brown sugar sauce grabs your attention right
before you surrender to the sweet/tart grand prize... the pineapple ring
crowning the cake. Savor this piece of the past
soon!
Here's a poem by John Wayne .... The Sky. Just for you Brian!!!
I went on the Veteran's site and bought this zip front
sweatshirt...
It also comes in pullover. Part of the money you spend goes to
homeless and hungry Veterans for meals.
Trish, you'd find something here for sure, they have a
red/white/blue sequined top that is you!
This video is cute... cats waiting for the mail...

Later for dinner I wanted vegetables....
So I put the mushrooms in a sautรฉ pan with butter... then added in the
chopped red bell pepper.... and spiral cut squash....
Meanwhile I put the cut broccoli, cauliflower, celery, and carrots in a pan
with water to steam for a bit to get rid of the crunchiness... then added to
the sautรฉ pan with a little more butter and garlic salt...
The steak, sirloin 2" thick was frozen and so I cooked it in the Air Fryer
at 370ยบ with a drizzle of olive oil and Lawry's Garlic Salt for 20 minutes.
PERFECT!!!!
Later it was the usual, chair, wine, TV.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

Fun Fact:
Over
the years, the only ones that have survived the entire lifetime of the product
are bears, elephants, lions and tigers.
Shirley
Temple sang “Animal crackers in my soup, Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop,”,
but rabbits never found their way into a box of Barnum’s Animal Crackers.
The
name referred to P. T. Barnum (1810-1891), the famous circus owner and
showman.
