Breakfast yesterday... a cooked chicken thigh (stolen from Dude's stash) heated in the microwave with a bit of chicken stock and some chive/onion cream cheese.... then put on top of spinach...

              ...with a tomato, of course! YUMMMMMY!

 

This is sad, the iconic 6th Street Bridge in Los Angeles is going to be torn down... 

Boyle Heights, Los Angeles: 6th Street Bridge receives farewell party ahead of January demolition. Officials deemed the historic landmark a risk in 2007 because of a chemical reaction causing it to crack and deteriorate.

*******************************************************

Saw this on Cop Humor FB page.... so true!

"Oh.. you're a Police Officer?? Oh.. you're a Firefighter? That's cool. What do you make?"

"WHAT DO I MAKE?? I make holding your hand seem like the biggest thing in the world when I'm cutting you out of a car. I can make 5 minutes seem like a lifetime when I go in a burning house to save your family. I make those annoying sirens seem like angels when you need them. I can make your children breathe ..................when they stop. I can help you... survive a heart attack. I make myself get out of bed at 3am to risk my life to save people I've never met. I make your family safe from the drug crazed neighbor. I make you and your family safe when you hear someone downstairs at night. I make sure your elderly grandparent is found and safely back home. I run toward danger while others run away. Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save your life. I make a difference, what do you make?"

*******************************************************

Yesterday took a quick run to town to mail a box to Kristen (her birthday on Saturday!), Ace for cracked corn, dropped off books and "stuff" at the community center store. Came home and the "locate" guy showed up. He has to mark the spot where it's "OK" to put in the new pole for the new TV dish.

He was so nice, and very funny! I said, there are no electrical underground and we don't have gas. He said, "you don't eat beans?" OMG.

 

 

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

American Beer Day

Craft Beer, Microbrews & Premium Beer ...Plus Hard Cider Bravo to the microbrew!  Since the American microbrew movement started in the Bay Area in the early 1980’s, we've been blessed with great brews—and brewpubs—from coast to coast. We can still enjoy the great Belgian, German, and Czech imports that cross our paths too. While there are wonderful websites that focus only on beer (you’ll find links to some of them in our Favorite Beer Links section), we will review occasional microbrews that are just to special for us to ignore. Craft beers pair well with fine food (even with chocolate). The history of beer goes back at least 10,000 years, to Mesopotamia. Anthropologists believe that man first went  from a hunter-gatherer existence to an agrarian culture to be able to grow grain for beer. Later, the Bavarians added the aromatic and bitter hops. Beer is the number-one-selling beverage in the world. In the U.S., it outsells wine and liquor by 2-1/2 to 1. More than 100 different styles of beer are made in the U.S. If you’d like to tell us about your favorite craft beer, please send us a note.

Good 44º VERY foggy morning.

 

 

Yesterday's football:

 

                   YES!!!!!

The game was making me so nervous I decided to make a dirty martini.... with Vodka, the juice from my pickled green tomatoes (with garlic and a jalapeño slice ... mostly my Uncle Lloyd's recipe) ..... put vodka and some pickle juice in the shaker (was my Mom and Dad's.... so it's OLD, probably purchased in the 1930's!) and some ice and shake it up, strain into glass and add a pick with some of the tomatoes.... OMGOOOD!!

 

 

Tonight's football: It's all about da birds~!

Also a tempermental beeotch... a friend of Jerry's worked for the Secret Service and said when first in the White House she and Clintoon both acted like they were at Disneyland.

The rain stopped here just about the time the Patriot's game ended. The sun came out briefly and the steam was rising...

So then I ran "5 Miles" to take the trash to the can and put the can on the road...

There were 7 deer when I went out back to get the golf cart. No room on today's blog, will publish them tomorrow. So pretty!!!!

 

Dinner yesterday... since it was World Pasta Day...

I re-hydrated some freeze dried carrots and peas...

I bought a roasted chicken the day before, took that all apart and discarded the bones...

I put the chicken into a bowl, added in the tomato sauce, Classico Creamy Tomato & Roasted garlic sauce, the carrots and peas, can of olives, and some basil leaves ... Mixed well.

The fusilli pasta cooked in Lawry's garlic salted water with a drizzle of olive oil. Then drained and added to the chicken mixture....

Then I decided it needed a little "kick" so I drizzled in some sriracha mayo...

Then half the pasta/chicken mixture went into a 9x13 baking dish that had been sprayed with Pam. I sprinkled it evenly with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the basil... Then top with remaining pasta mixture and the remaining cheese and basil.

Bake 20 minutes at 375º. Remove and immediately sprinkle with more mozzarella and Parmesan.

                                           AWESOME dinner!!!

 

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