Meryl and Steve are on their way to Bonny Bonaire!

Wonder if it's the lens or the water that's murky today? Could it be the storm stirring things up?

OK, that's it.. no more for me today, my brain simply can't take it!

Meryl's trip soon arrived.. makes me think, we're due to leave ourselves in about 5 weeks...

Gonna go do some gardening, the sun has appeared.. yippee..

Funny little clouds:

Let it snow!

Heyyy
Meryl might just be in time for tonight's potluck over at Michaels place.
This is what's cooking on this end.. a Barracuda Roll stuffed with thin sliced red bell pepper, carrot, onion, mushrooms, garlic & spices.
YUMMM

Isn't she lovely?

For a moment there I thought it was rattlesnake, Bas. Wherever do you find these recipes? I know Betty Crocker never cooked anything like that!

most of them I just come up with.. by coincedence.. by trying something out.
One day I had this Barracuda.. just for the fun of it I tried to filet the fish in one piece. That worked... got a huge big filet but what to do with it??? Cant put it on the BBQ as it would fall apart. Just looked at it for a while... Figured I could put down spices, veggies on top and roll it from the tail up and tie the whole thing up. Bake it in the oven under alu foil. So that worked :-) This is the 5th I made this way. 2nd with head still on... just a lil extra 'touch' for the eye. Basically it's the whole fish only missing its scales, tail and bones. Also presents real nice with a colorful spiral of veggies in the white meat in each slice.
Cheers :-)

Bas, delightful! ..

Hope Meryl & Steve make it.....

Have a nice weekend all of you.. pop in again next week.. Ciao....

The gems are always a bright spot in the day!

TGIF everyone I hope everyone is doing fine and had a great day at work. I got through last nites speech and thank you all for your wonderful advice. But guess what next week is another speech next week speech is on a defining moment in my life somewhere between the age of 4- college age so hubbys says that in that case the most defining moment in my life is when I met him. I told him yes dear ((giggle)). I love those pic rusty of the sea gems

Ooh - hope Meryl and Steve are enjoying this - don't know when they get in!

This is turning into a beautiful evening...

Hi Honey, I'm home

I'm happy to be here!

Hiya Rusty - you feeling OK? Managed to eat?

Hi Jenni! We felt the same way about 1848 - GMTA. It's gorgeous tonight - nice juicy colors!

And here is the new, short Blickje...

Yes, Rusty, the 1848 is going to be the one tonight. The colours are fading now.

And Grendel is out looking for...?? Blickje??

I've been catching up on threads and posts I missed while working and having dinner out. Pot luck at Michael's? And Bas is cooking? I WANT TO BE THERE. Is that clear? I think I am jealous. LOL And Meryl may have been there in time for the fun too.

Jenni - soup for lunch again, but just cut a small steak into tiny pieces and did the same with salad and ate slowly. Had to keep remembering to chew gently! LOL I think I'll be back to ?normal in a day or two! I'm very pleased. No pain at all!!

Hi ya'll, I made it in time for the 1900

Hi Cindy - it's like the sunset got a second wind! It was bright, then soft, and here it is looking like a psychedelic parfait!

Hope Meryl's there enjoying her wogga wogga sunset. Rusty, glad to hear you're mostly ok.

very rich colors tonight & I see Blikje is settling down to enjoy them too.

Very nice tonight. I think they perked up just for me. LOL (and Blikje)

Amazing - dazzling - I give it 5 stars!

I needed a nice sunset after working on site plans and landscape drawings all day. I won't be around tomorrow. We're heading to the wholesale gem & lapidary show in Orlando, then meeting Travis & Tracy for lunch (it's their 1st anniversary).

Jim's home. have to get dinner going. bye

soup, soup and more soup, heh Rusty? Better than not eating tho'. And sounds like you are doing really well.

Hi, Cindy. Well done you came at a good moment. Sunset keeps changing tonight by the looks of it

Sounds like you have a great day planned - we may go buy tomato plants near Quabbin Reservoir. Beware the Stephen King * Weasels!

Wish them a Happy Anniversary for us!

Bye, Cindy.

Enjoy your evening and tomorrow too.

Luckily I grabbed a bunch of Ramen noodle soup to try on sale last Friday - plus some Lipton's. I didn't know my mouth was going to act up this week. Happened to have plenty of SOUP! LOL



Fading out now, I guess! Me, too. Thanks for the company and sunsets during my dinner, Jen!

Here's a really nice and interesting dark one

Boy, this sunset doesn't want to quit! That one's a real beauty, Jenni.

Yes, me too. I'm fading fast. It is now gone midnight and I am falling asleep. Looks like this will be the last dark one. Hope you like it Rusty, and you wake tomorrow feeling renewed and refreshed.


Night Night

Hi Guys,
I paid for our flights to Bonaire today. Do you think this means I can start a countdown to Bonaire or is it too early for August 17th?
Discovered that the flight back to the UK is scheduled to take an hour longer than predicted! No reason given! Any ideas?

Go to this site and download a program that will count down in seconds (probably not nessary BUT if you want to know the exact time. I use it for all sorts of things. It's free.
