Smartie's 4th of July Bar & Grill #41

Okay, so I have two freshly picked med. zucchini, three nice tomatoes, one freshly ground sausage (pork/lamb), red onion, cucumbers, wheat rotini, a jar of large ripe olives... and several fresh peaches and a container of blueberries.

Who wants to bet I can't make something interesting from this?!

LOL



...Hope you guys are enjoying your afternoon.

 

No Falena,

Making a mess of the kitchen, slicing off half my thumb ("easier to cut ones self with a dull knife, than a razor sharp one" ...my ass!), and scaring the neighbors in the process, does not, I repeat... DOES NOT, count toward "making something interesting."

...so just save it!

 

A grilled zucchini salad with red onions, cucumbers, olives,rotini and sausages...sliced peaches and blueberries for taste...

That is my guess what are you making...???

 

Excellent guess Daisy!

...and having fun in the process. lol


**edit... I'm thinking of making ice cream a little later on, with some of the peaches.

 

OMG!

LOLOLOLOL @ "half a prune"

 

Blueberry muffins????

 

Potpourri for lesbians?

 

I've only ever had them once, but I did like them. I don't think I'll attempt to bake any however. *smile*

I put the blueberries in the freezer, and just kinda have a few of them for a cool/icy treat.

~~~~~~~~

Falena,

A good use of the banana (especially if really ripe), is to mix it in pancake batter. Banana flavored pancakes ! YUM! ...seriously.

a smoothie sounds good right about now, either strawberry banana or mango banana, or pina colada.

 

I say the Watermellon came Before the seed.
Just like Adam came before Eve.
Anyone care to differ.
I mean like did not the ball come before Baseball.

 

Good morning all. Iced coffee is on the house.

 

Good morning Shang. I hope you have a pleasant Friday.

Iced coffee.... sounds good to me!



Last evening, local weather guy says, "we'll have a cold front moving into the area early next week, temps should drop into the mid 90's." lol

 

Still waiting for that cold front myself. When its cooler in TX than in Yankeeland, something is wrong....very wrong.

 

I know Shang. It's frightening (so to speak). Not to take it political in the bar, but, 7 billion people on the planet, emerging economies and growing industrialization pumping toxic emissions into the atmosphere and chemicals in the earth.

Humanity has sealed it's own fate, I fear. *sigh*

Okay, steps off soap box.

_____
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,"Bless her sweet little heart"... and go your own way.

There ain't no magazine named "Northern Living" for good reason. There ain't nobody interested in livin' up north, nobody would buy the magazine!

Now Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they had abeen! If you're a Northern transplant, bless your little heart, fake it. We know you got here as fast as you could.

 

*smile*

Good morning Smartie!


"jeet yet?" ... Have you already eaten?

 

Mornin, dumplin! Yep, done et. Co-worker brought in biscuits & sausage. Could I get ya one?

 

yeah ... yeah ... yeah ... But make no mistake it was You who had to goad and temp
Mother Nature by mentioning the first heat wave a couple weeks ago.
You ... you ... You ... Dumplins.
Today I am gonna try and see if I can fry an egg on my concrete patio.

 

I know, Foolie... and I'm sorry I brought it up. We've been under 100 everyday since then (lots of difference in the comfort level between 98 and 105).

Let us know how the egg thing works out. I've heard of people baking cookies on their dashboard while their cars are parked on asphalt parking lots all day. Nothing like freshly baked cookies to make your ride home better!

 

My, my... time to start a new bar. This one timed out pretty good, didn't it?

 

Yea! Last post... I win again!
