USMB Coffee Shop IV

[gallantwarrior]

Yahoo! First day of Spring! It's been warmer here, but expected to drop back to single digit temps the next couple of days. Roads are a mixed bag, icy here, running water there.
The goats were romping around like it's Springtime, though. I'm still watching for my first kids and there was a newborn kitten in my milk room this afternoon. Mom moved it ASAP after I made my appearance. I watched her run off two toms, too!

I'm sitting here laughing at the wife. They just reported Brady's jersey has been found and who's behind it, she's yelling at the TV; "It's just a friggin' jersey!! Who the f**k cares!!"

What happened to it?

Brady's Jersey disappeared right after the Super Bowl and there has been a nationwide hunt for it including threats of felony conviction, huge fines, and prison time for the thief or thieves who took it. Apparently such a garment worn by the winning quarterback is worth major big bucks.

I knew it was stolen, he said it was found. I was being lazy, not really wanting to look it up. Anyway:

Tom Brady's stolen jersey from this year's Super Bowl has been recovered after being found in the possession of a member of the international media, according to the NFL.

The league announced Monday that the New England Patriots quarterback's game-worn jersey from Super Bowl LI and another jersey, missing from Super Bowl XLIX, were retrieved after an investigation led by the FBI.

The jerseys were found in Mexico and currently are being authenticated by authorities, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said.

The last 50 or 60 posts have mainly been about different concoctions that we have tried sometime in our lives... Some of them I would try and more than likely enjoy... I would try all of them... Having an open mind re: food has always been a thing with me... Very few things I have tried in my life, I refuse to try again... I have eaten liver everyway it can be fixed and every byproduct of the organ... Just can't stomach liver, but I have tried it... Can not think of anything else I do not like and believe me I have eaten everything from fish eyes to calf brains... Beef Tongue is a great meal... Expand your horizons CS's and try some new delicacies...

Naw, we're too old to worry about trying new delicacies though I'll taste anything reported to be edible once. But Hombre and I both enjoy such a wide variety of culinary delights that we don't have time for all that we would like to enjoy.

He shares your dislike for liver though. Just can't eat it. So I have to get my liver and onions fix when we're out and about. I don't make it at home.

My Mom used to get her liver fix away from home, too. My dad could not even stand the smell of liver cooking. I've only had liver once that I liked. I do eat braunschweiger, trimmed with raw onion and mustard on dark bread. Mostly, I'll cook up organ meats for the cats.

My mother was a depression era mother who could make a 5 star gourmet meal out of a soda cracker, bouillon cube, and a couple of wilted carrots. She would come see us when I was really under the gun at work and near exhaustion and I would swear there was nothing at all in the house to fix for dinner. She would rummage in the cabinets and fridge for a bit and the next thing we knew, there would be a good hot meal on the table.

She made wonderful meals, but her crowning achievement in my book was liver and onions that were so full of flavor and literally melted in your mouth. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Unfortunately she died before I could stand at her elbow to see just how she did it. I have tried and tried to duplicate her recipe and it just isn't the same.

My mom cooked like that. 8 kids and she really was a money manager as well.

Now her sister had 4 kids and they always ate lunch meat or things they could get for themselves. Go figure.

Vanilla ice cream on saltine crackers.
Try it before you say anything.

I can see how that could work--I do have some dessert recipes using saltines or other kinds of salty crackers.

But a smear of Miracle Whip on a saltine makes a tasty snack for me. Hombre prefers peanut butter or cheddar cheese on his saltine snacks

That reminds me of an aunt that used to eat mayo sandwiches. Just mayo and white bread. She was usually three sheets to the wind, though. Don't know if that had anything to do with it.

I know folks who eat mayo, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches--no meat or cheese. That just seems strange to me.

Actually, I LOVE those. Of course, add a little bacon, and the bread's gotta be toasted, you've got my favorite sandwich.

BLT is my favorite sandwich too. But that isn't the same as tomato and lettuce by themselves.

Apologies if I've already shared this one, but there is a sandwich I call The Ohio because it was introduced to me by a young man from Ohio way, way back at the beginning of time.
Sliced tomato, green pepper rings, onion slices, and PEANUT BUTTER. It's a summer sandwich, all the veggies have to be fresh out of the garden, sliced nice and fat. The PB goes on both slices of bread. It sounds disgusting but it's really good. We weren't even stoned at the time.

On a whole nother note, I have a wild turkey hanging around somewhere in my back yard. I heard him yesterday when I got home, gobbling as I walked to my back door. This morning, he greeted me full gobble as soon as I walked outside. It was still dark, so I haven't seen him.
My yard is not his yard. If he doesn't like it, he can move on. Just wait til the next door neighbor starts HIS spring activities. Yikes. Mr. Turkey might be spending the night in one of the pines on the boundary line of my property. Behind the lawn is a grown up old field, plenty of places to hide.

 

[Foxfyre]

Good morning all. Busy day here. Will do some light touch up housekeeping, trip to the store for a few things, cook for our dinner party tonight. The weather here has been glorious all week--no wind, mid 70's during the day, but cool nights for sleeping. I could live with this year round.

 

[saveliberty]

You all seemed extra hungry yesterday....

Ah but only if enough people agree that it is.

They should just change their minds.

It is a weird day so far here. It keeps flurrying but then it will suddenly stop and the sun will come out, then it will get dark and flurry again. The sun is out now, but I can see some more dark spots heading my way! Yesterday was nice, but I'm still waiting for some nice steady 60 degree weather!

Not just one jersey. TWO jerseys were stolen. Blasphemy, I tell ya!

​

I thought that was supposed to be the 20th

Even with that date I noticed last Saturday (18th) my weather almanac said the time of day sunrise to sunset was 12 hours and 4 minutes, so that's already past equinox. I dunno.

We had 80 degrees and beauteous sunshine yesterday. I was running the exhaust fan to bring in the warmer air and warm the house. Gardening outside listening to a baseball game.

Ask anyone in New York or Pennsylvania --- the only thing worse that having a Jersey is having TWO Jerseys.

You can have some of the upper 80s, 90 degree days we're having.

That doesn't sound at all appealing to me, but then a lot of things sound unappealing to me until I try them and have to admit I like them.

The vernal equinox arrived at 4:29 MDT on March 20. So that was the official beginning of spring. But because the equinox did not arrive at midnight but later in the morning, we technically didn't have a full day of spring until yesterday.

I am not looking forward to those kinds of temps but we won't start getting them most likely until well into May.

Miracle whip while grilling cheese sandwiches. Yum!
Miracle whip in tuna on a sandwich. Extra yum!
Eating cinnamon candies at the same time with chocolate m&ms. Drool.
Fried green beans with bacon and onion. Like hashbrowns, so make the green beans crispy! Ah. Superb!


Meanwhile....rain. Rain rain rain. Lots and lots of rain. Later this afternoon, thunder and lightening..and more rain. I am so sick of rain.

Include the hashbrowns in there while you're at it.

And a scrambled egg. With Tumeric... and cheese. Maybe roll it all up in a flour tortilla.

One of our favorite breakfasts is seasoned scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon and/or sausage, seasoned fried potatoes (generally seasoned with onion salt while frying in very little oil), green chili, shredded cheese, and a great salsa. Everybody piles what they want of these ingredients on a large flour tortilla, roll it up, and voila! One of the best breakfast or lunch or dinner burritos you'll ever eat.

I just noticed that I left the refried beans off the ingredients for the burrito. You spread the burrito with a light coating of refried beans before spooning on the others ingredients.
