A bit of snow. But the splitter is operational. And no visits to the PT, after.

Listening to the "sound of security" in the background. The power is out, but the Kohler seems to work just fine.

I don't know but I been told..

Ok, maybe not.

no, it's not my first time by a long shot, but they've been mega-delish, making me happy and I cannot stop this delicacy binge intrusion after making wok-based meals for nearly three weeks.

has me thinking about investing in a shawarma grill for home use and getting a gyro meat cone. just keep slicing stuff into a pita at random hours of the day when peckish. shit would be hell on my electric bill, tho'!

The ten day forecast has lows in the 60s - for all ten days.

Luna Grill does a decent Mediterranean menu for a "chain." Looks like they are only in SoCal and the DFW area.

We have a local Greek joint that was featured on Restaraunt Impossible that is pretty good but the best Schwarma joint is a dude with his son and their little hole-in-the-wall. He lets you sample anything you want and is there all the time.

Ok, maybe not.

The PT might get a "kick" out of it.

 

[silver gurl]

A rainy Saturday. It is warm though…

 

[adrina]

I'd like some rain. But none in the forecast.

 

[JohnnySavage]

50 and raining

No wind

Overcast, but there is sun on the mountains in the distance.

wot no oranges? For marmalade?

I had similar with tomatoes, making relish, but then tomatoes ( or is it tomatoes? ) are mostly water. Tasty though

yeah, it's a recipe we've been playing with since we had a glut of peppers this year and they're still going strong!

started out as sweet pepper and apple confetti jelly,the jelly part being mainly apple juice and the 'confetti' the tiny chopped pieces of colourful sweet peppers. Then we tried another version to make a thicker body to the stuff, by grinding most the peppers and combining the pulp with some confetti and the apple juice etc.... We included banana peppers in this and, to our surprise, it began tasting a little bitter, like marmalade. So I added a little orange juice. The long and the short of it was a thick-set 'marmalade' flavour that really really tastes like seville oranges that we called 'sweet pepper marmalade'.

This next iteration we used only pulp, no confetti, and included more dark bell peppers other than the few added initially. Colour's not so pretty and there's a lack of 'bits' in it, like marmalade would have.

We do like relish I know what you mean about the water, and so it's usually a case of having to reduce it and reduce it, but we got some fab tomato puree and one-shot pizza sauces from them this year as well as soups, salsas and canned (it's jars, i don't know why they call it canning and not bottling over here but america, right?) whole tomatoes to use whenever they might be needed.

For my birthday, my mother bought me my sister's favourite candy.
I'm enjoying both the candy and the metaphor.

after last night's hefty rain as the cold front swept over, it's a beeyootiful day outside: temps around 65 or so, that unique autumnal blue to the cloudless skies, everything rich shades of green that's still growing and shades of tan and grey/browns for the rest, orange gourds in a pile at the base of the bird-feeder tree become a piece of garden art at H's hands. The pond is overflowing, the surface in constant motion as the fresh breezes stir the waters into glints and shards of sunlight and steel. Leaves have been piled into deep drifts on the driveway and constantly chase across the view as the breezes do their jobs. I call them breezes, H calls them strong wind, lol. He also thinks days like these are chilly

so it's been a morning of putting up the winter-weight curtains, cleaning the dust off ceiling fans, changing bedding for thicker quilts and flannel sheets after a breakfast of scrambled eggs, grilled bacon and homemade buttermilk biscuits.

i do believe autumn's here.. me & the dog could not be happier!
