Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. We have had some rain, but no enough to get us out of the drought. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning everyone. Enjoying sunshine, bagels and WADDB this morning... thank you Connie and Gerry. Have fun at bingo night Connie.

Have a wonderful day everyone

Good Wednesday morning. More glorious weather ahead.

Got my beets pulled yesterday. I just need to go in town to get a few things and get my canning jars into the dishwasher. Heading outside after I finish my WADDB to start hosing all the dirt off them. Pickled beets no the way!

Good morning everyone.

It's overcast today, but the rain is still miles away from here. I'm hoping we get some.

Not much to do today. I'll be waiting for a call from my doctor but that could be at any time during the day, which gives me an excuse to spend the day gaming.

Draclvr, I love beets. John introduced them to me early on in our relationship, he being English, and although I disliked them at first, once I started to marinade cooked sliced beets in a sweet balsamic reduction with some chopped Basil and olive oil, they became favourites.

Happy Wednesday everybody!

Sorry, but I have to weigh in on the beets. At least to cooked ones. I almost lost them when I first tried them as a teen eating dinner at the home of a friend. Tried to wash them down real quickly with milk and the milk came out my nose. I did try jarred pickled beets later in life and liked those but I don't buy them anymore.

I think summer is arriving this week. Supposed to warm up for a long stretch of mid to upper 80's. I warned my brother I am going to have to turn the air on even if he is freezing downstairs. I can only be hot and sweaty for so long. Besides me, my fridge doesn't work right when it is too hot in my kitchen.

I hope you each enjoy your day!

Summer starts June 21st at 4:24 am EST oldbroad

Almost 80 degrees here today.

Summer starts when I'm too hot, Orion!

Yesterday it was 24 C here, and in the evening I had to open a couple of windows to cool the house down. This being the coast, however, it's sweater weather here today.

Oldbroad, beets seem to be one of those "you either hate 'em of love 'em" vegetables! I was raised on them and like them any way they are cooked, but I think roasted is the best.

I suspect your house isn't very well-insulated which is why it gets so hot so soon in the summer. When I tore apart this drafty old farmhouse, the one thing I did was insulate it well because it had none!
