Hi Dave,
DD> You'll have that some days. I just assumed you were road tripping.
RH> Not yet, got one planned for the latter part of next month out to TN
RH> for the RV/radio group. Probably going to stop in Asheville to see the Dale
RH> Chihuly exhibit (glassworks) at Biltmore on the way out. Another
DD> Is that a satellite of the main Chilhuly Garden & Glass in Seattle? Or
DD> a "road show" version if it? If you're in the Seattle area the
DD> Chilhuly place and Pike Place Market are *must* visits. Even if you
DD> ignore the fish tossers who are in the promo pieces. Bv)=
It's a road shhow version. We saw the main garden/glass center back in
2017 when we were in Seattle. Flew in a day early for our cruise so
spent the afternoon/evening wandering around the Space Needle/Chilhuly
Garden area. Got on board the ship the next day, off a week later
directly to the airport so no, we missed the Pike Place Market.
RH> trip planned is for mid October, another radio group but may also
head RH> up to NY to visit Steve's family before the snow flies. Should
be able RH> to pick up our camper from the repair shop later today.
DD> You could be cutting that close with the wacky way the weather hasw
DD> been acting lately. Last week our daily temps averaged in the mid 70s
DD> (in the month of August f'cry sakes) and next week leading u to Labor
DD> Day are to be in the high 90s. Go figger.
We've had great weather (upper 70s to mid 80s) the last 10 days or do
but supposed to get several days in the mid/upper 90s this week.
Hopefully after that we'll begin the cool down into fall.
DD> My favourite way to do chicken liver is breaded and deep fried. I
DD> stopped a Humphrey's deli counter on the way home from work yeaterday
DD> and picked up a half-pound of livers and a pint container of
DD> cantaloupe and that was lunch. Supper was a small container of
DD> raspberry-chocolate yoghurt. I just feel so virtuous when I do that.
DD> Bv)=
RH> You know that all the breading and frying of the livers, plus sugars in the
RH> yogurt cancel out all the good for you parts, don't you? (G)
DD> The yoghurt is Dannon's Light & Fit and according to the label has 80
DD> calories, 12 grams of protein and 0 grams of fat in a 5.3 oz serving.
DD> It's the first low/no fat thing I've come across in82 years that
DD> tastes "right" to me.
I've been eating Wegman's, rotating between the strawberry, blueberry, raspberry
and peach. It's got some fat/carbs in it but low enough that I
can make it part of breakfast without worry.
RH> The fig tree is still giving us figs, but it has slowed down a bit. I found
RH> a recipe for fig bread on line so made up a couple of loaves
RH> today. It's cooling right now, will probably have some with supper.
RH> Decided to use something older instead. Will probably make fig scones
RH> tomorrow so they'll be fresh for Sunday breakfast.
Scones didn't turn out well, more like cookies. I'll try them again but
add more flour and/or oatmeal.
DD> 8<----- SHORTEN ----->8
DD> Schuppman's also made their own hot dogs (Frankfurter Wurtschen) with
DD> a casing that you had to bite through to get at the goodness inside. Unlike
DD> the skinless franks we are used to these days.
RH> Sounds like a place we could have dropped some serious money at.
RH> Unfortunatly, they are few and far betweeen now.
DD> All of the Schuppmans have either gone to their reward or relocated.
DD> And the supermarkets have done in the neighbourhood grocers even in
DD> small town America. It's sad.
DD> Fortunately my home-town family owned market (Humphrey's) survives and
DD> thrives. In fact they have expanded (a bit) and remodelled. Just got
DD> done with installing autoatic opening doors at the entrance/exit.
All the newest and most modern technology. Do they have the bar code
scanners or does the cashier have to enter everything by hand?
DD> Title: Caramelized Onion, Bacon, & Blue Cheese Smothered Ribeye
DD> Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Cheese, Pork, Citrus
DD> Yield: 2 servings
I'll take mine without the blue cheese, thank you.
