Experimental Foodery

Tonight, I’m springing an experimental meal on my Wonder Woman. I know she’ll at least like the leftover “Amish Salad,” but time will tell how the rest of the meal will go down. . .

No amounts, mostly, just ingredients:

Smoked sausage, nicely browned, served over
Riced cauliflower prepared with ghee, turmeric, roasted garlic powder, and a packet of beef-flavored bouillon powder (I’ve tried the cauliflower and like it; we’ll see who else does) Combined with
Sweet red pepper, chopped and sauteed in ghee
Onion, also chopped and sauteed in ghee.

“Amish Salad” for a side.

Hits my “Ooo, so good!” buttons, but we’ll just have to see if it makes the cut, won’t we?

Well, it still hit my “Ooo, so good!” buttons, but just my Wonder Woman’s “It’s OK,” resulting in a complaint that “I may have eaten too much,” but not a request to save the recipe. *shrugs* Maybe next time with a curry sauce. . .

Drive-By Food Post

Our oldest cat, something like 17-18 years old (a very young cat when he showed up and demanded to be let in to become a part of our household) has become more and more finicky about what he eats, lately. I’ve finally found an expensive dry cat food (he’s even been known to turn his nose up at canned cat food he previously ate with relish) that is clamed to have no grains, etc, etc., that he finds irresistible. Each time I dish some out for him, I am tempted to try some. Yes. It does smell delicious.

Autocorrect

Was out and about earlier this AM, and at one point needed to navigate on foot past a guy using a leaf blower, so pulled out my ear plugs, inserted them, and walked on by. I noticed as I passed that the 30-something leaf blower dude was wearing absolutely no hearing protection whatsoever. Damaging his own hearing much? “Well, that problem won’t last long,” I thought to myself.

All Night Long. . .

All night long, it seemed my Wonder Woman’s phone just would not stop with that annoying weather alert. *heh* Constant warnings to “seek shelter,” etc. “Stop it! We’re sheltered already!” 😉

HEAVY rainfall over almost all of America’s Third World County™ yesterday resulted in many of the back roads being flooded out overnight, fords washed out, and even some state roads rendered impassable as roadways collapsed (largely because of poor initial construction, poorly-maintained, IMO). Rural schools with more than half their students coming in from areas closed off from safe travel resulted in countywide school closings. Rescues of contenders for Darwin Awards weren’t many, but a few Darwin Award aspirants did decide to drive into raging waters. Silly puppies.

Some folks around TWC Central measured 5” in their rain guages. I can believe it. Our street was flooded and the recently-covered public works excavation replacing their leaking water line needs to be repacked. We didn’t even try to measure, because at least half of our precipitation seemed to be in the form of hail. 100% coverage of our lawn to the extent that it looked more like snowfall. Really beat up our impatiens. *shrugs* They’ll live or they won’t. Short power outages, no biggie, throughout the county. Touchdown of two funnels juuuust over the county line to the east.

Fun times.

*slow sidescan*

When someone accuses you of being paranoid, it’s probably because they are out to get you. *heh*
