Good 47º cloudy morning.
Yesterday the rain came and went all day. Never long enough for much, but
nice! We warmed all the way up to 61º !
ALL day long yesterday I worked with my computer. I did a system restore. I
uninstalled AOL, or at least I thought I did. Then I reinstalled AOL and it
still didn't work. I finally got the laptop on again and ordered a new computer
from Dell. It should be here in a few days. Meantime, Mr. Laptop is working ok.
It's just s-l-o-w !

Some disturbing news was in the local paper Wednesday and yesterday and on the news last night... a
friend, former Deputy Paul Allgood was shot, and according to his new gf it was
his ex-wife, which would be Tammy. Here is the article..
It has been awhile since I have seen Paul and Tammy. The last time the
"girls" got together Tammy was acting super strange and left in a huff.
According to a source, Tammy had been institutionalized for a time. I tried
finding Paul on Wednesday but no information was available from either the
hospital or local police. He was apparently released yesterday.

Later I was in the cooking/creative mood so I got out some chorizo, pasta,
and shrimp. I had read a recipe using chorizo and shrimp so thought I'd try it.
Jerry and I always loved choriso and egg burritos. Anyway, cooked the chorizo,
added shrimp, cooked pasta, added in a lemon cooking sauce and a bunch of
veggies and spinach. It was AWFUL! I couldn't believe it. I put it all in the
garbage disposal. Expen$ive mistake!!!!
Later it was chair, wine, chat with pal, and Chicago PD....
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

Quiche Lorraine Day (Sounds like a plan for dinner!)
The History Of Quiche
The word quiche evolved from the German word Küchen, cake. The dish originated in Alsace-Lorraine
(hence, Quiche Lorraine, a specific recipe that uses heavy cream and bacon—no
cheese). Alsace-Lorraine, now a region of northeastern France, borders on
Germany and over the centuries was variously in German control. According to
food historians, when the quiche—now considered a quintessential French dish—was
developed, the region was a German province called
Lothringen.
