I had bacon and eggs for breakfast at 2 pm so no dinner for me, just a bowl of cheerios before bed time.

I'm having soft shell crab, cheese grits and kale, leftover from my meal on Wednesday night.

I am going to make top sirloin steak in tomato gravy and rice for the gravy.

Just sirloin steak and potatoes. Hubby is adding canned green beans, but I just can't do them. Beautiful day here and I played golf with my grandson.

Hi Shirley.
Gorgeous day here too, no humidity. That is to change on Sunday, high temps with lots of humidity again. Temps are below normal, and they say it's a Polar Vortex, because of the extremely cold winter. The nites get quite cool 10C which I love.

Dinner was leftover pasta.

How can we melt that Polar Vortex? Below 80 is obscene for July, day or nite. Home made hot soup is even sounding good. But tonite will be fried wienies, fried taters, and beans. All with a good layer of healthy TOMATO Ketchup. Late start changing oil/filter on the car, so one more Teqillla for Happy Hour first.

Grilling a spatchcocked chicken and will toss a foil wrapped sweet potato on the coals in just a minute. Chopped zucchini and crookneck over the coals, too, dressed in the same lemony sauce as the chicken.

We're expecting a nice cool down next week, which will be very well recieved here in the south, as you can imagine! I'll love being able to open the windows and doors for a few days.

It has been another busy day. I went with Amber and Alyssa to a town wide rummage. I only bought 4 cookbooks. I am now planning a family reunion for a week from Sunday and that does not give a lot of time, but will do what I can. My supper was sort of late, just a fish sandwich.

The weather was great again today, sunny and nice.

Nathan's dogs on the grill, black bean and corn salad, an Asian Cucumber Salad, but subbed yellow squash for cucumber.

Emma: Bacon and eggs are always a treat for me, no matter what time of day.

Georgysmom: Leftovers are one of the best meals ... no cooking and little cleanup.

Ravencajun: If it's steak, I'm there.

Pam: First I get steak at Raven's then I'm on my way for a second helping of steak at your house.

Jasdip: Good for you having leftover pasta. I love quick and easy.

Old Fixer: I'll share some of my Beef Barley soup I have in the refrigerator .. if you'll share some fried potatoes.

Rhizo: I just have to have some of your chicken fixed that way. I forgot to buy sweet potatoes. Enjoy your wide open house ... so refreshing.

Sue: Another busy, busy day. Good luck with your reunion. I like fish sandwiches (esp McDs)

Angelaid: Hot dogs often hit the spot for me. I'd like a taste of both your salads.

It was very overcast here all day, but no rain. We went to a veteran's event tonight and they had food from one of the local bbq restaurants. I had bbq, bbq chicken, potato salad and baked beans.

Nice day, lotsa sunshine. But no breeze. I went onto the deck and realized that it was still. Interesting.

I have been finishing off the lettuce from the garden. Thus, a big salad. We cooked a turkey breast about a week ago and I sprinkled the last of that on the the 'good for you' salad.

Tomorrow, I'll do so bad (don't tell my MD).

I made this, along with coleslaw and a ceasar salad:

Quick dinner, we worked in the yard this evening and ate late. DH cooked, he grilled hamburgers. He had a green salad with chopped hard boiled egg with his burger, I had just tomatoes with a bit of salad dressing with mine. They are issuing heat/health warnings in both Seattle and Portland for the weekend. We're in between them on the coast and DH slipped on a jacket while grilling the burgers. We only rarely get in on any real heat here, always left out.

We don't have them often, but I found some "Nathan's Hebrew Nationals" (is that what they are called?) in the store. Have never seen them before, but always read they were on the 'best hotdog' list. Suffice it to say, we were not impressed!

We had Italian sausage chopped up with onions & bell peppers and potato wedges. We are teaching Sam how to cook, so when he gets a permanent job & wants to move out he will at least know how to cook.

sigh. There don't seem to be ANY good hotdogs anymore. :(

We had two days in a row of gorgeous weather! I made my first margaritas of the summer, and then chose take-out fish-fry for dinner. :)

OldFixer, why would you want temps above 80F both day and night?! yikes! At the rate we're going with global warming, I don't like the chances of anyone living on earth about 100 years from now. :(

Gadget, bring on that soup! Had Nathans once, not for me
Party, summer is too short, and deserves more than tepid 80's. Even the W / NW is getting the good stuff. But no need to argue when we could be tasting those Margaritas. What time?

OF, I'm a heat-seeker and sun-lover but I would NEVER want 80F at night! I wouldn't even want heat and sun all the time.... gardens need rain! A former co-worker is in Dubai and posting photos and info on temps... I think you'd LOVE it there. lol!

* Nice days are special here because we have so many crappy ones. :O)
