Good morning everyone. Enjoyed a great walk this morning with the temp hovering in the low 70s! Feel free to send that rain our way Hagatha. Made Hawaiian Kona coffee this morning for y'all.

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone

Good Saturday morning. Back to HOT today!

Decided to marinate some chicken breasts and put them on the grill for supper. I have lots of tomatoes now, so am going to make a "Guenter Salat." When the Germans are here, Guenter makes this with sliced tomatoes, onions, a good balsamic vinegar with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and a bit of fresh mozzarella cheese.

Good morning everyone.

In the end we didn't get that rain; it's just been overcast and gloomy and cool. I was actually contemplating putting the fire on this morning.

I've never heard of Guenter salad but it sounds delicious Draclvr.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

SpaceQ I think the "Guenter salad" is named after Draclvr's visiting German friends who visit her every summer and make his delicious salad.

Hagatha how is your new computer running?

It was a beautiful day here yesterday and another one is expected today. I plan on another nice long walk this morning...right now the temp is 57 degrees...feels like fall!

Hope you all enjoy a Happy Sunday!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someonr.

Good morning everyone. Enjoying the cool mornings before we climb back into the 90s this afternoon. Time for WADDB and bagels before I do some gardening.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone

Good morning Boomers.

Good Sunday morning. It's beautiful this morning, but still headed for the upper 90's all next week. I think a couple of day are predicted to break 100 degrees F.

The marinated grilled chicken and the Guenter Salat were outstanding last night. Tonight I'm making another family favorite - Aunt Cindy's Tacos as my boys called it when they were little. There are no tacos, but rather flour tortillas with refried beans and taco seasoned hamburger rolled up and placed in a casserole dish. You cover it with a sauce made of sour cream and cream of chicken soup and then shredded cheese. I'm opening a jar of the new salsa to put on top.

Putting on my smoked pepper/garlic mash to ferment today.

Thanks Gerry. I wish I had a Guenter in my life.

Good morning everyone.

I wish I could get myself to do more cooking, but since it's just me I only ever go for the basics. I have a one-pot Mexican quinoa dish that I make from time to time, but usually I opt for roast vegetables and salad with roast chicken, eggs or pan-fried scallops or prawns or fish.

John I used to make quite elaborate meals, though. He was a good cook.

Good Morning Everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark brew is ready.

Draclvr that "taco" casserole sounds delicious...something I would love!

Have a Happy Monday everyone!

Gerry

Have a great week everyone.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Cooking is not on my favorite list these days. Joint meeting at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Monday morning. Summer is going out with a bang - 99+ degrees the rest of the week.

Ah, now I'm done cooking for the rest of the week. Lots of leftovers. Going to be too hot to cook anyway!

Good morning.

More overcast skies with no rain. Yesterday it only got up to 17 degrees and there was a point I almost turned on the fire. It won't be long now.

I "honey roasted" a small joint of gammon yesterday and couldn't resist eating a little of it when it had cooled.

Delicious !!

But tonight I'm going to make a proper hot meal of it by adding some creamy home cooked mashed potatoes and some mushy peas.

Then I'll freeze what's left for a sandwich .. down the line

What is gammon, Mad?

Draclvr …. Gammon is the term for the hind legs of pigs that have been cured in a similar way to bacon.

And after being cooked is then called “ham”.

So it’s available in strips, like bacon, or joints like pork.

Sounds fabulous, but I've never heard of cured pork as gammon! Thank you - I learned something new today.
