Clear Sky ~Don't Kick the Cop ~ Blueberry Toast w/ Babybel ~ Tonnie Donna Sue Jeannie

Good 48º clear morning. 

Another one of those world's shortest books:

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY COUNTRY

By Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan

Illustrated by Michael Moore

Foreword by George Soros

 

 

 

This from my pal Ollie Taylor (ret LASD)...

 

 

Don't kick the cop. Duh. (Thanks George B) I could watch this all day! (I know.)

 

 

Again, breakfast was good. Different you might say.... Liked it! I toasted some Franz Blueberry Streusel bread, topped each with a Babybel cheese, and melted it. Soft boiled two eggs, set on bed of lettuce, sprinkled on Simply Asia seasonings, sea salt, and pepper.

 

I know, I'm weird, but I like to serve foods on a bed of lettuce sometimes ... I LOVE lettuce and like the crunch!

Yesterday Jeannie and I

(... and yes my little Gnome 'Knotty' joined us!)
met up with Donna Walsh (artist) and her friend Tonnie Gay at the Bohemian for lunch.

Lots of fun. Busy conversation!

It's fun to find out about people... Tonnie's dad was a CHP in the ELA area and had many good stories! The most interesting thing was that Tonnie's husband was a fire chief in N. Lake Tahoe. I told her my sister, Marion, ran a real estate office, Wells & Bennett, in Tahoe City. SHE KNEW MY SISTER! OMG, small world. Tonnie's husband is also named Jerry. I was blown away. Now Tonnie and Jerry live in Rogue River. When I got home I had to call my nephew, Jim (who runs the office in Tahoe City now) and he remembers Jerry the fire chief! My sis has been gone 9 years on the 24th of this month. I miss her so, but this made me smile!


Ok, all I know. Nuff said. Happy Thursday. Ciao.

Bruiser/Maggs/Dude ~ Pizza Rerun ~ World History 2 Min ~ Dogs ~ Infused EVOO ~ Chicken Zucchini Bake

Good 51º cloudy morning.

Yesterday morning....

And today...

 

 

So, while I was outside taking pictures, my "children" gathered... nosey!

Breakfast.... pizza rerun, eggs, orange, coffee.

 

From my friend Patty.... this is really interesting. The History of The World in 2 Minutes.... (some images were very emotional for me)

            http://marcbrecy.perso.neuf.fr/history.html

 

This from my friend, ret. LASD, Patty Rodriguez... so true!

1. The reason a dog has so many friends is that, he wags his tail instead of his mouth!

2. A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

3. The average dog is a nicer person that the average person.

4. If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.

5. If you've never tasted soap, you've never washed a dog.

6. Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.

7. If you think a dog can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket, and then give him only two of them.

 

I was going to spray the weeds/grass on Monday, but the winds came up and it wasn't possible. So I puttered in the house and infused more olive oil with garlic/onion/red pepper... If you haven't tried this, you should. It's SO good! Drizzle on any foods, salads ... mmmmm.... Cook with it. Mix with lemon juice and mayonnaise for a spectacular dressing.

For two bottles (I use old wine bottles) measure the olive oil and put into a pot on the stove. I used a couple capfuls of the dried garlic and onion and about half a capful of the red pepper flakes. Add hot water to them so they reconstitute. Drain them well and dry with a paper towel. Bring oil to 170º, remove from heat, add onion/garlic/pepper and let sit until room temp. Strain with coffee filter and pour into bottles. Keeps fine un refrigerated. I use it on/in everything!

....................if you can believe this: "Lortie was paroled in December 1995. He now lives in Quebec and works in construction."  Canadians are just as stupid as Americans when it comes to letting the bad guys go!

answered the door. He also had about 15 dogs in his yard, all different, all friendly! The home had once been owned by Errol Flynn, then by Ricky, then apparently Helen Hunt, and now Justin Timberlake.

1964 – Melissa Gilbert, American actress

 

Dinner last night was the zucchini recipe I put on yesterday's blog, Tyson Panko breaded chicken tenderloin, and avocado w/ ranch dressing. I sliced the zucchini, added olive oil (garlic-onion infused!) garlic powder, sliced grape tomatoes, provolone, grated yellow/white cheese, sea salt, pepper. Asian spice on the chicken. Baked 350º for 30 min.

 

 LOVED the zucchini!!!!!!

Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Take a slice of the bottom to keep it stable. Brush with olive oil and top with garlic or garlic powder. Top with sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Use mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, or a blend. Bake 375º for 20-30 minutes, until soft.

THINGS I DID TO DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE By Barack Obama

 

 

Yesterday Rick came over and took a look at the pastures. He'll be back on the 14th to brush-hog for me. Gave him a tour on the golf cart.... Dude and Maggie jumped off when we were at the pond and ran all the way back! Maggie was EXHAUSTED! Dude seemed happy to run. Then a little later we took a ride down to the mailbox. On the way back Mr. Lizard, formerly of "out in the yard" was sitting atop the post where the gate button is....

 

 

The news story of the three women and one little girl who have been missing for 10 years is amazing! That saga will unravel and more information will come out.

 

Dinner last night was :

Not in the mood to cook. Good soup!

 

 

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

National Teacher's Day

 

Everybody who does something good, important, and valuable deserves a day in their honor. Teachers certainly are among the more deserving. This day honors those hard working, patient and understanding people whom we entrust our children to. Teachers mold our kids in a positive direction, and affect who they are and who they become. From Kindergarten through college, teachers are an important part of our children's lives.
