An Apple A Day
Wed Oct 01 2008

In answer to your kind inquiries, my ribs are doing much better thank you...

So I guess they were just badly bruised, not cracked. I see improvement every day.

I'm still not too fond of hiccuping or a good laugh at the moment.

I'm here at the home office of my friend waiting for work. Though today I have cranked out a lot of documents so I don't mind the break. I just finished eating the most delicious Gala apple. They must have gotten this one local as it tastes like it just came off the tree. Yum!

I just looked out the window and there are high clouds starting to move in. I hear rain is coming. To be honest, we DID have a few drops the other evening as a little quirky wanna be thunderstorm type activity moved through. I stood out in the back yard and let it fall on my face. But it was barely enough to get our sidewalk wet. What a tease eh?
But I think the real thing may be on its way. I sure hope so... 

The change in season has me thinking about soups and stew and pots of beans.  I'm hungry for beans. I used to hate them when I was growing up. I don't know what was wrong with me. I love them now.  I rummaged around and got out my 'Fix It and Forget It' crockpot cookbook.  There's bean recipes galore in that thing. I'm going experimenting. If I find a really great one, I'll pass it along.

I suppose I should make some comment about the current financial upheaval, but when I read that they had already gotten the thing up to 400 pages and one of those pages calls for insurance companies to also cover mental health visits... (not that there's anything wrong with that)... I realized that the 'crisis' has turned into a free for all, give me my pet project, Washington business as usual.  What does mental health insurance have to do with the financial 'crisis'?  Perhaps those 'lawmakers' need to see a shrink.  We could send The Duck.  Eh?

It might be time to do what I heard my brother suggest once. Send them ALL home and start over with a fresh batch of congressmen and senators.

I could get into that plan.

Buffoons all.

Okay, back to work?

    I HATED beans when I was a little tigger, too. I've gotten over myself and I have them a couple of times during the cold weather months, always with warm, cheesy cornbread (I'm not mentioning the ham part of the equasion because I don't think you DO ham).

    The weather here has been nothing short of strange. It will be overly warm and sunny then a front will move in, dropping the temp by 10-15 degrees, then the sun comes out 2 hours later making it more than warm again. Today was more typical of early October with temps in the low 60s, just as I prefer. Probably headed for another strange winter in America's Heartland *rolls eyes*.

    Glad the ribs are healing! You didn't bother going to the Dr. to check them out did you *gives you the fish eye*

    I think sending The Duck is a good idea.
    Send The Quack to a bunch of quacks.
    Yeah.
    That should do it.

    I'm on the same page with you on soups, stews and beans. Gonna make chicken soup tomorrow and zucchini soup. Maybe even some chili.
    Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. *slurp*

    I've been fantasizing about soups, stews, beans and braises of all sorts, too. I'm sick to death of this miserable summer. I barely even got any tomatoes this year, and as far as I'm concerned at least, that's all summer's good for! (Ok, the peaches, plums and berries are pretty good, too. Oh, and summer squashes, let's not forget about them!) But this summer has been all smoke and cool (for our neck of the woods) weather. Not at all what good crops need. Oh well, next year has to be better, right? Right?

    Beans are GOOD and are leaders have the HOT AIR to prove it.
    Myself I would like to dig up FDR And Harry. Fear makes for a very bad outcome and this is not the answer . I will bail my own boat Thank YOU.

    The gala apples we have gotten this year from the farm are FABULOUS. Beans, I love pinto beans and ham-hocks in the crock pot.

    Dittos to soups, beans and baffoons.

    Although.....on that last one, I did have a brief fantasy that included tar and feathers. Assure the duck, I would only use TURKEY feathers.
