I love deer encounters. But this wasn't my last one for the morning. I took a cup of coffee out to await Kroger delivery.
I was entertained by the various birds feasting in the drive way. I had been out of bird seed for a while. And I bought extra with one the usual wild bird seed and a 2nd type with larger seeds etc for the larger birds and squirrels.
I also bought 10 lbs of in the shell peanuts. I had put some out last night and the only birds that went for the pnuts were the Bluejays. They steal the squirrels peanuts. Or rather compete for them... the Jays are aware there are two peanut jars in the front and back oaks.
I also saw a large Hawk that had been sitting on the power lines who took off and headed North. Beautiful. Since it wa early about 7ish and the sky is cloudy - as usual!
The temp will be 104 - dang it they increased the temp for today.
Last night my power flickered 3 times off and on but stayed on. I have a better power company then SA does.... they always have trouble which is where the kids live. The city says because they are using green power the city is safer. But the governor wants to go back to oil & coal. Idiot!
I was able to enjoy my Inca " who look like windup toys" Doves - plus lots of White winged doves. Tons of Sparrow and other little birds.
Love watching the birds but another larger deer - not an adult but older then the two young deer - was inthe our road but across the street and uphill a bit as it made it's way eating the foilage. I tried for a photo but I couldn't get a clear shot. It kept stopping and looking back at me but the bushes along my fence line didn't give me a clear view. oh well.
I received my Kroger order at 7:30 and I bought some breaded fish fillets, Grated sharp Cheddar, GingerAle and I forgot to buy Diet - oh well! Also 2 Campbells Tomato soup, and 2 clg ans of Chunky vegetable soup. 1 loaf of 12 grin Orowheat and 1 Rye Loaf with the spirals. Both in my freezer. My neighbor gave me 8 containers of cherry tmatoes. I am looking forward to using them in all types of meals. And two Amy's Enchilida frozen meals for this coming Fri card game.
This week the community ctr has been really busy. I have been on calls with Drs offices..and couldn't make it to anything. More later on the Drs situation once I hear back from someone.
I also bought a box of Rontoni to make my pasta meal. It's my fave... cook the pasta.
In a Wok add some butter and olive oil. Add diced Roma tomatoes or grape tomatoes, garlic, green peas frozen is better, Asaparagas, corn niblets, Green beans, onion - red, yellow, brown, any other vegs you like such as zuchini, etc. etc. ALso
S&P and some minced garlic. Keep the herbs light let teh veggies be flavored by the Basil.
Heat butter and oil, add diced veggies cook till still firmish!
Then Mix the veggies with the cooked pasta but add torn Basil - my preferred. Or other herbs you like.
I finish by adding some pasta water not alot before you add the cheese, such as Pravalone, or cheddar or what ever you like. I don't mix them together. Asiago is also good. The list is endless. But add the pasta to the cooked veggies before you add the cheese. This pasta is good Hot 9o Cold. I prefer Hot.
But I also want to make my Black Bean soup. I have everything I need for that but it is so blooming hot.
I tried something new and fried two large Chicken breasts in butter and Olive oil S&P plus herbs I used thyme. I cooked medium heat but on first side for 8 minutes, turned over and cooked for 9 on 2nd side. Check chicken for cooked through. I also dribbled some white wine in the oil & butter. YUM!!!
Simple, easy and fast chicken. I had fixed Colesalw two days ago but did French fries and Chicken yesterday. What a great meal. ENJOY!!
