VENGEANCE

THOUGHTS

Gayle, the BAD, sent me this poem yesterday.

It's nice.

But it brings tears just now.

COUNTDOWN

 

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

It's time to smile awhile and we begin with one for the eastern part of the United States.

Now if you're smiling, my work is done for today.

Except to wish you all a totally splendid weekend.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . ah, the truth outs . . . )

SCENES FROM MY MONDAY

 

A survivor from the freezing overnight temperatues.

Finally pitied and brought inside.

Playing in the kitchen.

The last of some Piedmontese Peppers, ala Elizabeth David.

A halved mini red pepper containing a bit of tomato, some sliced garlic, some anchovy paste (salt and olive oil eliminated because it was in the paste. I didn't have anchovies.)

Roasted in a 350 oven for around 20 minutes.

Supposed to be served cold but I couldn't wait.

It was as good warm as cool later.

And finally, homemade Chicken Noodle (Gigli) Soup.

All this kept me busy through the day and sated.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I wasn't sure if or when I would bring the Friday Funnies back.

There are, after all, plenty of blogs with plenty of humor.

But in spite of personal loss, in spite of what's going on in the world, in spite of everything . . . there's always time to step back and smile a little.

So with that, enjoy.

I hope you got some enjoyment out of this silliness.

But at the very least, try to have a marvelous weekend.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . uh, I seem to have one like that . . . )

BAKING AGAIN

We've had a bag of apples in the pantry for nearly too long.

Today I got them out and looked for a recipe.

I found one for something called an Apple Slab Cake.

I made it this afternoon, adapting it a bit by putting a Streusel topping on it.

Just had a bite.

It's not bad.
