Weather/Smoke ~ Picture of the Day ~ Equinox ~ Cheesy Zucchini Patties ~ Moon Mullen ~ National Great American Pot Pie Day

  


Good 40º smokey morning. 
 
 
Yesterday we had lots of smoke and topped at 83º...


 
 
Picture of the Day😁...crazy animal!
 

 
In 2023, the autumnal equinox—also called the September equinox or fall equinox—arrives today, September 23. Fall begins in the Northern Hemisphere and spring begins in the Southern Hemisphere.
 


The word “equinox” comes from Latin aequus, meaning “equal,” and nox, “night.” On the equinox, day and night are roughly equal in length. (See more about this below.)

During the equinox, the Sun crosses what we call the “celestial equator”—an imaginary extension of Earth’s equator line into space. The equinox occurs precisely when the Sun’s center passes through this line. When the Sun crosses the equator from north to south, this marks the autumnal equinox; when it crosses from south to north, this marks the vernal equinox.

After the autumnal equinox, the Sun begins to rise later and nightfall comes sooner. This ends with the December solstice, when days start to grow longer and nights shorter.

Note that fall foliage isn’t due to current weather conditions. This is a common misconception. Leaves change color because of the amount of daylight and photosynthesis.

And don’t forget about the end of Daylight Saving Time, when we “fall” back, setting our clocks back one hour and regaining an hour of precious sleep! ... November 5.

 
 
"These cheesy zucchini patties are an excellent way to use up that abundance of zucchini from the garden," says recipe creator Sherlie A. Magaret. "Serve with a bit of tomato sauce or sour cream dabbed on top."
 

  • 2 cups grated zucchini

    2 eggs, beaten

    ½ cup all-purpose flour

    ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

    ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

    ¼ cup chopped onion

    salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  1. Place zucchini, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, onion, and salt in a medium bowl; stir until well combined.

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

    Scoop tablespoonfuls of zucchini mixture into hot oil and fry, working in batches, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

National Great American Pot Pie Day is observed annually on September 23rd.  A baked savory pie typically with both a bottom and a flaky top crust is often served to a hungry bunch.  Be it frozen, from a restaurant or home-made, it is sure to please those taste buds.
The filling of a pot pie varies from many different ingredients, some of which are beef, chicken, turkey, gravy, and seafood.   Many vegetables like potatoes, carrots, green beans, and peas are also popular choices.
HOW TO OBSERVE
To celebrate National Great American Pot Pie Day, enjoy a delicious pot pie. 
HISTORY
National Great American Pot Pie Day was created in 2002 by the pot pie and frozen food company Marie Callender’s.
