    Spent some time reading todays posts, ECB-I hate hearing that Emily has to spend the night, poor baby. She will be as glad to get home as you will be to pick her up.
    Well, I made my Texas Caviar salsa and I forget how good it is until I have it this time of year. I’ll post the ingredients and if anyone wants to make it then you will know~ Oh, and my recipes are not exact as I don’t use measurements–just make the salsa as thick or thin as you want. Also, I put the ingredients in the food processor so I don’t have to hand chop. Make them as lumpy or fine as you want.
    8 large tomatoes (skinned and chopped in food processor)
    1 large sweet onion
    2 large bell peppers
    handful of fresh parsley
    handful of fresh cilantro
    T of chopped garlic
    1 small bottle of wishbone italian dressing
    1 can of black eyed peas (drained and rinsed)
    1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
    1 can of garbanzo beans (drained)
    1 can of hominy (drained)
    I used a couple of jalapeno peppers because I had them from my garden, but you can use any hot pepper (or not) and make it as hot as you want.
    Mix all together and serve with tortilla chips, or I have even used ritz crackers as this is almost like a cold soup. If it’s thicker than you want, add more tomatoes.
    🙂

    Love the pics especially the ‘take me to the lady’ cutie.
    Cold wet day here and HRH has retreated to my bed for the day. Busy morning here paying city rates and scaring the bank account. Then came home and hunted for a beautiful glass and wood seed box I was given but put away safely. Success! I found it but not the seeds I carefully saved and apparently didn’t put in the seed box.
    ECB, sending positive vibes for Emily’s vet day.
    Joan what a wonderful three nights dining out – now to drop hints to Mr MS. 😉
    KZ, you are busy dealing with your tomato crop while I am now in the process of sowing my tomato seeds and hunting down the banana pepper seedlings so I can get a good crop early for smoking and dehydrating. I must say I am interested in the Texas caviar recipe though.
    ROTFL at the image of Dorry wrapped in an 800TC pillowcase.
    Great pics PG. I had trouble finding any this time.
    JK, pretty phlox, the arm isn’t too bad either.
    😉 🙂
    Love the pic with sheet music in the background and the ‘stand for Cecil’ while sitting.
    Oh KJ, love how you made togas for your dolls with Dad’s handkerchiefs and he didn’t notice the holes or chose not to see them. How lovely. Even back then you were improvising.
    ECB, sending heaps and oodles of Healing Energy for Emily. HRH Shadz sends gentle headbonks for Emily and totally understands how her mouth must feel.
    I am glad the vet is really looking after her.
    Yikes Joan you get snakes too as well as bears. Oh I think I remember us chatting quite a dew years back about some snakes that were under something back before you had the renovations done. That was a while ago. It was someone who was growing beans at the time I think. Oh no, you have to cook tonight! ! Ah well the good life can’t last forever.
    Time I hit the kitchen to see what I am eating for lunch today.

    Evening PG (and any lurkers) and afternoon MS!
    Must be taking self to bed soon as run-around sorta day tomorrow. Today was way hotter and steamier than predicted, hoping for better tomorrow. Must get to gym relatively earlier than preferred time (though ditched the 7 am class as my self-taught classes better at least IMHO.) BTW, a cohort gifted me with 2 prs of brightly coloured gym socks as she gets them in US for next to nothing and they are made for very small feet, as in mine! She does this every so often. Very nice, not that I’m lacking for anything in clothes dept LOL. Then off to hair trim mid-morning. Then realized I’m at deadline for renewing medicare card (free healthcare system) relatively, as I pay for some services so as to beat waiting for appt. So have to get photo done, which I hate, instructions specify that one must not smile. BFF says that this is for facial recognition software but I don’t get it. I’ll just assume my Grumpy Cat demeanor, not a far stretch from my habitual demeanor, ‘cept I’m going to go with my sorta subtle goth-ish makeup, at least the eyes, ie cat eyeliner and smoky shadow and either pale or red lips.In any case no matter how good photo turns out, gov’t functionaries ensure that once it’s on card a mug shot would look far better. Then I have to race to local med clinic to bring in photo/docs and place closes at stupidly early time. Well, at least I’ll be busy. 😉

    KJ, by now you should be sound asleep and dreaming sweet dreams for your busy day ahead tomorrow.
    Lovely score on the gym socks.
    Oh official photos! No matter how will you present yourself the pic ends up looking so unlike you. How do they manage it I wonder.
    HRH finally woke up and went outside and when I popped out a short time later she was at the door and dashed inside as quick as a flash. When I came home she was once again asleep on my bed. It’s not as if it’s really nasty outside now, drizzly and cold but that normally doesn’t faze her. I guess her age is beginning to show.

    I am so late on reading anything lately, seems I can’t catch my breath or a break on feeling better dang it. But I did finally reset my WiFi password on my modem so I don’t eat up data while on the phone (lying in bed reading FB or anything else), was afraid to do it because what if I screwed it up…did it on the first try.

    I have been looking at all the ‘make you smile piccies’ though every night, thank you to everyone for sharing those >^..^<

    Lol oh how I hate ‘official photos’ I have tried to get ‘them’ to accept my idea of the purrfect picture of me…Red lying on his back….they don’t need to see the real me imho 🙂

    It is rumbling outside with thunder, no lightning yet but grey overcast, now if it rained like it did last night that would be an excellent thing!
