Quarantine stews on

Been craving oysters. I discovered canned oysters last Thanksgiving when I couldn’t find fresh. 

They turned out fine in stew. Mom’s recipe. 

Guess it’s September. 

Truff had a good day today. Even read her book again. 

Quarantine ...sigh

Top story. Busted Mom out. She , Jan and I sat on Jan’s screen porch for an hour and a half of talk talk talk. It was so good to see her. She brought her mini cabbage patch doll she bought at the St C’s closet sale to show us. It will sit in the mystery chair down her hall.  

Ed made perfect boiled peanuts. 

Found an old Halloween picture. Apparently Cary went as a naked kid that year. 

Just Junior. 

And this one of a young Truffles when she was small enough to hold. 

She would lay like this every evening. 

At a Petsmart party. She doesn’t look too happy. She did love to go to doggie daycare though. They had to put her in with the small dogs.  She had never been around big dogs and was afraid of them. 

She is having a good morning today. Even rereading her favorite book. 

Quarantine spins a web

Hope you can see how beautiful this spider web was this morning. 

The picture doesn’t do it justice   

Quarantine comes back into focus ...

...momentarily anyway. Subject matter has become problematic. So here is this. 

Took this picture before I went to the pool. 

Took this one when I got home. 

Some fried okra from Chris’s garden. 

Fried the Brenda Gantt way. 

Linda sent me a picture of her stuffed bell peppers, so I had to make some. 

These Parmesan crusted potatoes were good. 

Food, books and dogs. Living the quarantine life. 

So, wanted tacos for dinner. Had seasoned meat. No shells.  No cheese. Decided to make rotel dip since I had velveeta. No rotel tomatoes. No green chilies. Did I give up? Added canned tomatoes and some salsa. It worked. Also realized at my age you can eat rotel dip for dinner if you want to.
