Yummy…I hope

Yesterday G and I went to the farmers market. At one stand, I found a lovely chicken and had them split it for me.

Last night I brined it and put it in the refrigerator over night.

It is now on the grill with the smoker box going and we will eat around 6 tonight. Yum.

You all have a good one!

So sick of cooking

What I wouldn’t give to have a private chef for a month or two just so I can have a break from cooking meals. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way.

These days I can’t even think of what to make for dinner. I open the freezer, stare at the contents, and draw a complete blank as to what to make.

Maybe when the weather cools off I’ll feel more like cooking nice meals. As it is, The Curmudgeon is lucky he gets something different each day.

Once the weather gets cooler...Lasagna!!!

Mash up

Found out that Verizon is working in our area and that is why our internet connection has been so effed up lately. So far our TV is fine whereas G’s is not. We’re half a block apart for heaven’s sake.

I was in trouble with the pups yesterday. We were out of dog cookies! G and I went to one of our nearby pet stores to stock up and then I took her out to lunch.

If I miss a post or two in the coming weeks, don’t worry just blame Verizon.

You all have a good one!

HPIM3959WTF?! No cookies??!!!

Moved the yard sale date…

We’re pushing the yard sale forward a week. I don’t like the idea of being outside in extreme heat and thunderstorms.

I need to polish (or not) the adjustable brass floor lamp before then. It should sell better all nice and polished. However, I am basically lazy so we’ll see.

Some Halloween props need to make the trip down from the attic. Yes, I am selling some of my older ones. Anyone interested?

I’ll need to pump up the tires, start-up the riding mower, and back it out of the shed. Once it sells I can store my garden tools more efficiently.

Big web builder

104_2095We have a new orb spider. (This is a picture I took of one a couple of years ago.) Our new one has decided to build her web every night from our porch roof to the wall between our porch and the neighbor’s. It’s a big web and we are being very careful of it. I told her she can stay there undisturbed as long as she doesn’t come inside my house.

What I love is orbs tend to take up most of their web during the day and rebuild it each evening. Thus, the mailman doesn’t walk into her web every day when he steps over the wall.

You all have a good one!

Another day…

Whew! AC is back on. Too hot and humid for The Curmudgeon. Looking at the next several days of forecasts it seems we’ll be keeping it on for a while too.

For as bad as his back is The Curmudgeon was in better spirits yesterday. I’m hoping a visit from one of his PD dispatchers will brighten his day today. She’s stopping by for some plants.

That reminds me, I’d better set my alarm. 😉
