I have been wanting to go crabbing ever since I got my new crab pot about a month ago. But, it just hasn’t been in the cards. First, Brian got sick with a bad cold (maybe it was H1N1), then I got sick with it, then the next weekend, it rained. Looks like we will finally be able to go this weekend! Can’t wait for Saturday!
Brian worked on the boat last weekend. A knowledgeable friend offered to help out and they worked on it for eight hours on Saturday and, then Brian finished up and cleaned her up on Sunday. They rewired just about everything, installed a new bilge pump and new aerator for the live well.
I cleaned house, did laundry, took pictures of mushrooms and beautiful wild chickens in the yard. Here’s a pictorial:
Most of the time, Grace hates Sam, but he snuck up on the bench and took a nap beside her on Saturday!
I decided not to publish the picture of my granny panties! I love hanging our clothes out to dry!
Weather conditions are ripe for mushrooms.
I love to eat mushrooms.
I don't know how to pick them in the wild, although that would be a skill I could be very interested in learning.
Yes, I know I am boring you with mushroom pictures!
But, isn't it amazing how different they all are!
The wild chickens do not let you get too close to them. Someday I will own a better camera so you can see just how beautiful these birds are. This rooster shot is the best of the bunch that I took. Can you see the rust, orange, red, green, blue colorings?
Pork Chops Nicoise. Chicken stock, portobella mushrooms, pine nuts, roasted red pepper, kalamata olives make this dish yummy!
So, how was your weekend?
Today I got my hair done. Same haircut, short stack in back with swoopy bangs. Too bad the rain wrecked my do before I got home though.
My weekend was fine. On Saturday I won my singles match. My opponent forfeited. Ha! Then Steve and I steam cleaned the carpet in the entire house. Not very fun but productive and the carpet looks much better! Oh, and we went to the movies. Saw the Informant with Matt Damon. Pretty good. Don’t think I ate anything fun… can’t remember.
Your tennis opponent was a no show? Hey, a win is a win! You go girl! How was the movie?
Supposed to play Saturday but my tennis captain doesn’t have me listed on the line-up. That’s okay though because I have a lot of house work to do this weekend before I go to Floriday next weekend.
Did you go crabbing??
We did not go crabbing last weekend. But, we are going this Saturday. I’m so excited to try out my new crab pot! I’ll take pictures.
Did you know that Dennis’s favorite food in the whole world was… mushrooms!! (No, beer does not count as a food!) Your meal looks absolutely fabulous, darling. Can I have the receipe? I use mushrooms in a lot of my favorite dishes. It’s just a very versatile fungus! Cooked or raw, yum!
I love to make Lamb Chops Nicoise, too. Same sauce. I’ll publlish it soon, then you can just print the page! Next time you vacation here, we’ll have to go to Mepkin Abby where Trapist monks grow oyster mushrooms!
I love your dishes!
Those dishes are hand me-downs from Brian’s sister! We like them, too. Thanks!
