35 years ago she bought these knifes from a boy we knew who was selling that summer to earn money for college. She has diligently sent them in most years for the free sharpening. They have also replaced quite a few of them (for free) over the years. The reason for this post is actually so I can point out the two brown pasteboard sleeves I made.
She said she added everything exactly as she always does. Whatever happened it didn’t affect the taste as it was as good as always. Somedays are like that.
Just a typical summer day today in the Lower Rio Grand Valley of Texas which means it won’t be long before the “Winter Texans” will begin leaving.
It was her turn to work on the flower beds she had me redo and prepare for planting.
Rootbound plants get those roots ripped apart.
One bed done.
A kneeling pad is an absolute necessity when working in the new mulch.
She’ll pinch the blooms off the plants, but in a week or so they should be covered with blooms. I can see our breakfast time moving out to the patio in the not too distant future so we can enjoy the view.
Recently we have taken to grilling marinated chicken thighs on our Weber grill. These boneless, skinless thighs sure looked great when saw on the shelf in the meat department at our local HEB store.
You’d think that after a lifetime of buying a great looking piece of meat then turning it over to see big globs of fat we would be expecting this to be the case. Isn’t displaying the meat in the package is a form of advertising? And when they hid these big chunks of fat where you can’t see them, could it be a form of false advertising? Then again, it’s just the way things have always been done.
