    Roll up, roll up it’s Night Shift time.

    It’s been sometime since we had a Night Shift and we can’t let the tradition fade.

    The NS neon light is flashing “OPEN”, the agancy kities are ready for cuddling, the fountains are flowing with all kinds of beverages and the table is set with salads, fruits,meat for grilling and baskets of freshly baked breads and rolls.

    We have donuts, lemon,blackforest,chocolate,custard and any other favourite you may desire.

    I just got home from the college!! The students did a Broadway Review called Good Food. All musical numbers relating to food–it was hilarious and wonderful!! I was so proud to see one special angel on that stage–he has this amazing voice! I was so proud that he even thought to invite me! Teaching is so wonderful!! For most you see them for a year and that is it, they move on. For some you see them grow up and the bond forged continues. It is glorious to see kids all grown and creating their own lives–knowing that they are succeeding and happy.

    Hi Bobbi! Long time no see. I’ve never been to Dallas; I would try to come if there were a get-together. We haven’t had a good TDK meetup in a while. Did we ever get a report on the most recent UK meetup?

    Hi Bobbi! I know I will be in Dallas with the band in October, but I don’t remember the weekend. As soon as I know I will let you know–it would be great of others could be there!!

    Good evening Kilroy, SM and Bobbi, great to see you in the NS office.

    SM, that review sounds like it may have been quite hunger inducing.

    It has been a while since the last meet up and I don’t remember a report on the UK meet up.

    I hate to pop in & run but I’m fading here, time to head for bed. If I can’t sleep (which happens a lot) I’ll probably be back.

    Nighty night Kilroy, sleep well.

    Finally the deluge of rain has stopped here and I can dismantle Shadz fort and kitty tent. It seems that she just didn’t like the heavy rain and preferred to lurk in her fort built between two laundry baskets draped over with a towel and then with her kitty tent and tunnel added for sprawl room. She has been outside enjoying the wee bit of sun that came through the clouds. I was getting worried about her as it’s not at all like her to lurk inside even during rain.

    She’s lost interest in them now SM, she just sniffed all around then and walked away so I can have my floor back again. HRH has just come in for cookies & milk, gone out and then come back in again. I’m definitely staff.

    Isn’t that how it is supposed to be? And you know like a little kid HRH will come in and look for her playground and wonder why it is gone, but if left out she would continue to ignore it!

    Maybe I will leave the kitty tent and tunnel out but at least I can have my laundry baskets back for their intended use. She didn’t even come out of it to sit by the fire lastnight.

    Noelle always wants in the basket when I have fresh towels in them–I used a washcloth and it had fur all over it! It was horrible–allergic to cats! If I keep it away from my face I am fine. Husband came home and laughed his butt off–I was red splotchy and eyes swollen–apparently quite a sight!

    Ohhh, not nice to be laughed at when all red and splotchy and puffy eyed, hubby’s time will come when you can return the laugh.

    Shadz has tucked herself up beside me and for once is smoochy.

    Deuter and Noelle are in the boxes hubby brought home–it is like his and her bunk beds! Teaser is on her blanket. Sherlock is at my feet–he normally is!

    LOL, his & her bunk beds.

    I have been abandoned for the kitty tent, that’s normal for Shadz. A brief snuggle with the hooman and then off to where she wants to curl up.

    Peeks in, kind of busy here @ that place but not nearly like it has been earlier this week.

    Recipe that looks and sounds good from Shape magazine…

    LAMB CHOPS WITH ASPARAGUS-FETA SALSA VERDE

    SERVES 4

    PREP TIME: 13 MINUTES

    (PLUS 30 MINUTES MARINATING)

    COOK TIME: 19 MINUTES

    ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

    ½ cup olive oil

    3 TBS chopped fresh oregano

    1 ½ tsp kosher salt

    1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

    4 lamb rib chops (about 1 pound)

    ½ bunch medium asparagus (6-8 stalks), peeled and ends removed

    ½ cup crumbled feta (about 3 ozs)

    1 TBS chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

    1 clove garlic, minced

    2 TBS red wine vinegar

    1. In a 9-inch square glass dish, combine lemon juice, ¼ cup olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place lamb in the dish with the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.

    2. Preheat grill to high. Fill a medium pot with 6 cups salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water and set askide. Once water is boiling, add asparagus and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until bright green and slightly tender. Using tongs, transfer asparagus to the ice water to cool. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to dry.

    3. Slice asparagus stalks on the bias into 1 ½ in long pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with feta, parsley, garlic, vinegar, and remaining ¼ cup olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again; set aside.

    4. Remove lamb from marinade and discard juices. Place lamb onto the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes; turn and cook for 2 minutes more until just slightly pink in the center or until desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes. Place one lamb chop on each of four plates and top with a heaping spoonful of salsa. Serve immediately with additional salsa if desired.
