This time of year is always quite wet down here, but this year has seemed wetter than usual...of course in between storms the sun comes out in its great majesty to boil the soggy soil and create obnoxious humidity and a horrid musty odor that permeates the air.
This is another day of wait and call in to see if there is work to do tonight...hate that!
I made mashed potatoes (really good for a low-carb diet!) the other night...intentionally made a double (maybe triple) batch because we are quite fond of potato cakes the next day, but this time I decided to do something a little different with the "planned-overs". I added some minced onion, a couple of eggs, a little flour and a cup or so of 6-cheese grated Italian cheese. Then I pan seared a couple of salmon steaks. In a foil lined pan I made mounds of the potatoes and topped each with a salmon steak and then covered them with more of the potato mixture. I baked these in a 400 degree oven for apx. 40 mins. (they were golden brown). Talk about yummy!!! Tonight I'm going to use the remainder of the mashed potatoes in the middle of a meatloaf...should be quite good!
George (our elderly cat...16 yrs old) is really showing his age a lot. The hair on his tail has thinned to be almost rat-like in appearance and he no longer leaps the fences and other obstacles like he used to. He has sorta come to accept the kittens (they are both about a year and a half old now) and Shirley (puppy, also apx. a year and a half old) never bothered him much. I even caught him sharing his milk with Mercy the other day, I don't see it in the cards for him to share with Goodness however. Goodness wants to TOUCH George! He doesn't much care for that!
Will close for today...maybe again tomorrow.
