Why did you blur out your license plate? Afraid I am going to find your pool?

I can find you anyway.



I'm good at finding people.

And when we travel up north in our AT-RV during winter, to visit Mel et al, we'll need winter gear...

Sorry for butting in with another hit and run post (I have NOT been able to keep up lately!), but today would have been Zipper's 11th birthday. Another 20 days and it will be one whole year since she left me...

But good news is the insurance adjuster was here yesterday, and he recommended lots more repairs than I would have even asked for. Better news is I think I finally found a contractor that can actually do all the work. He's supposed to be out Monday or Tuesday to look at everything, but he's a general contractor so he can do not just the roof, but the inside where the ceiling has fallen in, plus the windows, the storm doors, and maybe my wonky shower door which now won't close. The shower door will be on us, but he could fix it while he's here.

Wish me luck.

Oh, and Missy had to have a small (pea sized) tumor removed from her shoulder on Wednesday. By the next morning, the incision was infected, and she's not a good patient. It has become a battle to get anything ON the incision. I'm not outright blaming the vet for the infection, but if Rich had driven Missy up to the "good vet" I don't think it would be infected. (I guess I AM blaming her for the infection.) Anyway, wish me luck getting THAT cleared up, too. (Topical penicillin because I'm brave, but not brave enough to try to give Missy a shot without sedating her with a 2x4, Neosporin, and raw honey.)

Situation normal for around here, I guess...

Good morning.
Nice Ford Spock!
You are a smart man.

We have a gas grill, so I usually boil the chicken before I put it on the grill so I don't end up burning the outside while the inside is still raw. I'm trying something different tonight...I only turned on the burner on the right side, and left the middle and left burners off and put the raw chicken all the way to the left to cook it on indirect heat till done, then I'll turn down the burner on the right as low as it will go and move the chicken over there to brown it up and then put some BBQ sauce on it. In theory, it should work just like I used to do on my old Weber kettle grill (charcoal on one side, chicken on other) but for some reason I've never tried indirect heat with this gas grill before.

Mrs. TN said I was nuts because it's 86 (feels like 91) out there but I've had the craving for BBQ chicken all day so BBQ chicken it is. At least with indirect heat I don't have to stand there watching it so it doesn't flare up and burn.

And yeah I just wasted 2 minutes of your time telling you something you already knew. To cook on indirect heat, not that I was nuts

Speaking of Etsy, this is where I got some of my Doberman decals. She used to be a member here, and does great work...I see she's also doing them with uncropped ears now:

And this is what Mrs. TN and I both have on the back window of our SUVs

Fun fact...I'm baking cookies tomorrow - ha!

If you guys haven't made the Doubletree chocolate chip cookie recipe yet...you should. They are awesome!

"WOW - what a woman ! Sounds like a keeper to me"
(MC baking some goodies in her traditional kitchen...)

This is what I made today

Sort of--it was my admission of not being quite right when I make Stroganoff. Here's the rerun Kenny. I don't cut the meat into pencil thin 2" long strips. And the purists would shun me for that alone--and I don't make it properly so that I cook the meat make the "gravy" separately and pour it over the meat and serve it on noodles. I make it with small chunks of meat, browned, add onions, mushrooms and some beef broth and the spices simmer it for much longer than you would simmer it if you actually spent an hour slicing up those pencil thin strips of beef--cool it a little and add the sour cream AND (and this is real heresy that would get me banned from the stroganoff club) I serve it on rice not noodles.

And I make it in biggish batches so I freeze part of it for future reference.

ABTLH

You think you're SOOOOOO funny.

(However, I DID just make some brunch. Diced potatoes in the air fryer with some seasoning salt, scrambled eggs with peppers, onions, and cheese. Yum.)

TN --- She don't miss a trick ---------- Does she !


Eggs with peppers ? + Onions ? AND Cheese ? WOW - what a woman ! Sounds like a keep to me

I do that too--except for the VW's I owned in SoCal--stealing VW's was a big business--they sold for more than either of them cost me new in Baja as Baja buggys.

My first Toyota Tacoma (1983 short bed, two wheel drive) with a $400 canopy ran until it blew an oil pump on a max traffic time on a freeway--could not get over--trashed the engine. But it had over 300,000 miles with only routine service. My second one is what I'm driving now--it's a 1999 also short bed and retired from delivery truck for an Arizona furniture and appliance store (i know that because you can read the faint shadow on the side of the front where the Arizona sun altered the paint color (white). It had about 190,000 miles on it then and I've added not very many more in the 10+ years I've had it--maybe 3 or 4K not showing many dogs in anything more than a few agility trials and being sort of retired.

Given my tendency to keep stuff until it falls apart--if it hadn't been stolen I'd probably still be driving that first (1963) VW--it was 38hp--which meant it could hardly get up the hill going north from Portland to Seattle right after the bridge. And you had to be doing 70mph at the start to hope to be doing 35mph at the top (and that was when that section of I-5 didn't exist--it was Hwy 99 E.)

Gotta' go murder some maples.
