Good morning , it is Sunday 7/28/13 a damp cool morning here in da burgh, we have had a wonderful week, it started out hazy hot & humid & ended cool wet & windy ,I have all the windows open & the a/c OFF for a change , the grass got cut Friday & the yard looks great, we have had so much rain the past few weeks the low spots in the yard are getting soft & starting to show signs of fish starting to inhabit them ! ,The Robins are loving it as worms are getting forced out of the ground & littering the yard with easy to get meals for the birds. it is a bit over cast right now & looks like rain, & since all my joints are sore I can say rain is coming hahaha, yep I am getting to the point that the joints tell the weather better than the national weather service, , they might be able to forecast over a greater time period, But I know when its time to close the windows before the rain drops show up ! dammm its H3LL getting old
breakfast this morning was a grilled cheese blintz, with corn salsa & fig jam, hot sweet & tasty, the coffee is a pot of Indian Malabar, roasted last Thursday to a medium dark color .I don't know if I will get to the Kona today, there is a lot of the Malabar to drink, & I have a lot to do in the kitchen today , there are 2 steaks in the marinade all ready , corn to go on the grill & a ton of veggies to grill. Every summer I make a grilled veggie salad , zucunnie ,yellow squash , eggplant, peppers onions, tomato's, garlic, Yams, celery, & what ever I can toss on the grill & then when it all cools I add some cubed cheese & some dressing with an EVOO base & something sour , be it lemon juice or sour cream, maybe some lime juice or aged vinegar maybe some of all of them. who knows.......
The Grandsons are back from vacation & I haven't talked to them yet, hope they had a great time....
we have been getting a lot of new product in from the Vegas show & it is a challenge to know what to put out & what to hold back, if I Dump all of it out at the same time I think some of it will get lost in the shuffle , so I plan on adding just a few new items every Friday & see how it sells .....
I want to go to the pistol range this morning but with all the rain we have been getting I am afraid it will be a mud hole ... I don't need that ....... But the sun is out the shadows are covering the yard & the wind is out of the SW clouds are few & far between so it might dry out soon, but I need to focus on the kitchen & the gun range can be put on hold .... AND I have a LOT of cigars to smoke & some 15 YO single malt to taste test, But that will be for later tonight after 8 or 10 cigars to mess up the taste buds plus a ton of garlic on the beef , & some roasted hot peppers , by the time I get to the scotch tonight it might as well be watered down blended scotch ,,,, Naw I think I might know that ! hahaha Enjoy, Vince
