Ketch-up Day

 

How are you, Blogger Buds? How is your blankety-blank weather? Ours seems to be finally leveling out. Knock on wood.

Things are pretty quiet here. Met friends for lunch a couple of times last week. One meet up was at our favorite Italian restaurant where I got veggie pizza, as you can see below. It's like a salad on crust:) and huge. A slice is the equivalent of a quarter of a large pizza. A lot of folks don't care for oversizing because they feel it adds to the weight problem in the country. I get it. But personally, or selfishly, I love it. I'm a take home gal, so I'll get several meals out of an oversize meal.  Moving on....:)

1. I like potato chips dipped in ketchup accompanied by a cold glass of chocolate milk.

 

2. My go-to and easy-to-prepare dinner is chicken on the grill cooked by my hubby, GT, baked potato (baked in the microwave) and a salad or fresh fruit.

 

3. I am not a fan of zucchini except when it is used in zucchini bread or cake. This is the peak of the zucchini harvest, so we are eating a LOT of zucchini cake!

Ketch-up Day

 And then the rains came.

We got 7.5 inches in twenty-four hours and the state had  ten tornado touchdowns. I'm relieved Miss Debby has moved on. What was it like in your area? I trust all of you are safe. 

At least the flowers appreciated the rain.

AND

It's Left-Handers Day. Woot. Woot.
