The Coffee House

[JonA_CT]

Afternoon all, just come back from doing a shop and cleaning mums flat. She has had some stitches out but the rest come out on Monday, plus it`s red hot here today.

@Fujidave: What do peoples in East Sussex consider "red hot"?

70s, I suspect. Cumbria is probably a different story altogether, but I don’t think it got above 65 when we were there in August, haha.



I got 10 lbs of pork shoulder going on the Kamado this morning at 5:30, and I just threw a rack of spareribs in a few minutes ago. My parents and little brother are coming over (and they’ll be talking healthy doggy bags home )

Ah, I couldn't take it out on who did show up. And we traded phone numbers to try and l keep it from happening again.
3 hours and a bit. 30.22 for the week.
Pretty early for the post office. May sluff off for a while.

Happy Saturday, hosers! It's going to be a beautiful spring day, sunny with a high of 74. Wow.

Mama barn swallow has finished her rebuild of last year's nest, and is suddenly in it, rarely leaving. I might have to stake it out to steal a peek for an egg count when she's gone. They are right outside the front door, and I love hearing the excited chatter when Papa swallow swoops in with some grub.

They also leave a mess, but I don't mind a bit.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Last night's corn beef was the best ever. It cooked away in the slow cooker all day ... easy and delish. 57F presently, and it may hit 80F. Nice and warm, good for all the plants. Mary Lou spotted a hummer's nest right outside the kitchen window. Just a couple of feet away from a feeder. The hummers don't even have to fly for breakfast. Gary is snacking on some Valencia orange and a hot morning beverage before our walk. Miss Maggie has had her breakfast of Greek yogurt, banana and pancake. Valencia's aren't nearly as good as Naval or Mandarin oranges. Gary is gonna reserve the Valencias for cooking and juicing.

When it is very warm I always say Red hot, sometimes I don`t like walking about in it but today was warmer than the last few days. They say we are in for a thunder and lightning storm later, poor Susie will hate that

We're supposed to get rain at some point.
If thunder accompanies it, a few dogs will be trying to climb up our butts.
Silly fools don't know thunder won't hurt you but lightning sure will!

Oh. And later in the year we will be swimming in 100% humidity.
I'd take the 80s all summer long instead of the 100+ we will get.

That sounds painful.

 

[davidharmier60]

It's a figure of speech. But rather true.
The largest, smallest and one medium size are the ones. Gun shots have a similar effect. The two youngest bark at gun shots and aren't scared of thunder.

Tired and sore from walking up the mountain. One thing is for certain - I'm not doing the dumb stuff I did when I was younger and thinner, like try to cross the stream on fallen (and slipper) logs, limbo under crap and jump from (slipper) rock to rock. No fish caught, but I didn't see anyone else catch any, so t's all good. I did take a wild flower walk and will tackle the photos tomorrow. Now it's time for bed.

Gary made a ton of pesto today, in order to accommodate grilled pesto chicken with a black bean/pesto sauce. Gary grilled veggies which were marinated in a sweet balsamic sauce.

It was different and the guests really enjoyed the dinner.

That looks very yummy Gary.

Morning folks, a nice cool sunny day today which is nice. We never got the forecast thunder and lightning storm which was good for Susie.

It thundered, lightning and rained overnight. It is 62 degrees and 94% humidity out there. We are about to have pancakes and bacon.

It was much more tasty than it looks. The green pesto makes it visually much more uninviting than the actually end results. The grilled veggies were delightful, sweet with just the right amount of crunch. Paired with a Lincourt Chardonnay on the patio ... all-in-all a pleasant evening.

My Sister is going to Fry up a big mess of Chicken Strips later. This makes me so VERY happy!
