My birthday was Sat. and I did have a wonderful day. Dinner out and a nice gab fest with my sister.<br /><br />The puzzle was easy today, though I started off spelling Hawg/Hogg. It had four letters and I knew that Hog was correct! The G was changed to W when Wicca was put in.<br /><br />I caught on to the theme with Hockey Hock, so the long fills came easily. Fun.<br /><br />I thought the clue for Label was clever, A place for care instructions.<br /><br />Dennis, Thanks for the tip on "The Hour". I'll look up the times. We loved Rubicon, and were disappointed that there weren't more episodes. <br /><br />LAPD in the puzzle today reminded me of "The Closer" that comes on TNT Monday nights. Chief Brenda Johnson is with the LAPD. We have enjoyed coming up to speed with reruns on the weekends.<br /><br />Good night everyone.Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-52648495954029587612011-08-16T23:10:02.075-05:002011-08-16T23:10:02.075-05:00Bill,

I was first introduced to it in Germany, where everyone loves it, even though it has an Italian name. I think the vinaigrette is what makes it tasty. Mixed with a hand-held immersible blender it gets thick enough to cling to each piece better.kaziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761801803016465459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-14550872224423460522011-08-16T23:08:05.764-05:002011-08-16T23:08:05.764-05:00this is for the lovely Fermatprime, please check o...this is for the lovely Fermatprime, please check out the google doodle, you will see why i thought of youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-58188855075725978672011-08-16T23:05:25.846-05:002011-08-16T23:05:25.846-05:00Bill,

We have two plants and I can't keep up with mine either. They need cutting back regularly, so they don't all go to seed. And when they do, I pull all those seed stalks out and discard them because they are too tough.<br /><br />We also have sage, mint and parsley that come back on their own each year. I have basil started from seed, and it's providing enough leaves at the moment for regular dishes of capresi (tomato slices topped with fresh mozzarella, basil leaves and balsamic vinaigrette). I've also made one batch of pesto. We had oregano and thyme last year but they didn't do too well and I didn't plant any this year.kaziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761801803016465459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-72473112505293092352011-08-16T23:00:50.260-05:002011-08-16T23:00:50.260-05:00avg joe owns windhover why?avg joe owns windhover why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-91124265643822342402011-08-16T22:58:08.164-05:002011-08-16T22:58:08.164-05:00exactlyexactlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-88557812755346022952011-08-16T22:51:20.434-05:002011-08-16T22:51:20.434-05:00my dawg has a hawgmy dawg has a hawgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-40717060881659931412011-08-16T22:38:23.752-05:002011-08-16T22:38:23.752-05:00Hawg suggests that I can't spell.

Maybe next week.<br /><br />The bigger downside was we had to wander around Modesto for a couple of hours, so we wouldn't be home too soon and interrupt our realtor with our little fishies. My mistake was that I didn't look at the start time at other theaters, but they were probably "two front rows only" too.<br /><br />The upside was our realtor called and said the house viewers raved about the house, loved the view and had only good things to say. They have "to go home and think about it".

Very pleasant.<br /><br />Then we come home to a puddle on the kitchen floor. The ice maker either jammed or is seriously broken. I couldn't shut off the water to the ice maker because the little copper shut-off valve hasn't been used in 20 years and seems to be broken. So a plumber is coming by in a minute to fix that (so the ice maker doesn't continue to leak. We decided that our old refrigerator has outlived its useful service so we are in the process of getting a new one sometime in the next few days. Oh well, it's just hassle and money. Soon we'll have a new, quieter, more energy efficient refrigerator. The hassle will soon be forgotten.<br /><br />Kazie, your Brewers beat up on my Dodgers. That's pretty easy to do these days.
