have no desire to deal with fire ants or minuscule flying and biting machines

The fire ants have already been bad this year. Get one mound killed and 2 more pop up. It's been to cool and wet for the ticks to be bad so far. Nothing seems to faze the armadillos.

Every now and then the quid pro quo arrangement with the DW on camera equipment works out really well. The UPS truck showed up at an inopportune time a couple weeks ago, and the jig was up, she demanded her due. Fortunately for me her spending was on an Instant Pot. 2018's Top Instant Pots Reviews | Our Top InstaPot Pick Will Surprise You‎ For those clueless on the latest kitchen gadget, it's a high tech pressure cooker that makes my DW's life easier, and like the old saying "Happy wife, happy life". But Wait!!!!!!! There's more!!!!! she's on a cooking roll now, trying out new recipes, of which I'm the primary beneficiary. For not much more then we would have spent on a single dinner at a restaurant, I've been the taste tester for Honey Garlic, chicken, Roast and Potatoes, and Blueberry/Orio cheesecake, and she's only had it for two days. The refrigerator is stocked with the ingredients for several more days of "taste testing", so life is good.

Ask her to find the cauliflower Alfredo recipe. The sauce is pureed cauliflower. Healthy and delicious. The texture is just like cheese. I found a sun-dried tomato pesto that makes it just perfect.

ps A little of the pesto goes a loooong way. Don't let it fool you.

Blue skies and sun is nearly out, busy day today so I do hope I get to take some photos.

Walked into the kitchen and the coffeemaker wasn't on. I hope that is the only thing wrong with it.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. This is the parent’s restaurant of Mirai Nagasu, the Olympic medal winning skater. The food was wonderfully authentic and equally delicious. The shop itself was tucked away on a busy street ... a locals only spot. While the parents/owners were very humble, one can tell they were still extremely proud of their Olympian daughter. Interestingly enough, there were no photos or trophies of any kind attesting to Nagasu’s successes in the restaurant. The patrons at the table next to us was playing a video of Nagasu skating on their cell phone, but other than that, Nada. After speaking to Mom about the achievements of her daughter she brought us the signed card of Mirai. If Sushi Kiyosuzu was nearby, we would be regulars.

The Queen is a nice bird.

Many years ago, I would visit a small little pizza place in Oklahoma City near Tinker AFB and a GM plant. One day I went a little earlier than normal and had to wait a few minutes for the order. I noticed on the wall, the owner had his food license displayed and it said Pete Thorogood. I thought there was no way an east coast fellow would be in a little out of the way place in Oklahoma, but yep! He said they were brothers. He only had one picture of his brother in the place.
