The weather has been very hot here in Annapolis. I feel like I am in Dante's Inferno, or better, the wicked witch of the West when she says "I'm melting, I'm melting". Pretty wicked weather 90's-100's plus saturation. Yikes!

Sorry about eating the chicken Cyclelops. No feathers, no head - doesn't look like chicken - but sure tastes yummy! I decided to cut it up and marinade it in an Asian/miso/honey/rice vinegar concoction. It was spectacular.

I made Ma-Po Tofu with ground pork and rice today. It is delicious. It is one of the few Asian dishes I can prepare with confidence!

Mrs.D. love your lily garden and what a great deal. I have been working on a lily/hydrangea garden on the side of my house for the past seven years or so. I buy the plants after their bloom period and usually pay better than a third of the original price. Yours garden looks so beautiful.

Kp, we did basically the same as you...
DejaVu, wow, so sorry to hear about the accident... just what you need! My husband was involved in a hit and run many years ago. He was pretty racked-up and had about one hundred, fifty stitches in his head and eyebrow, a separated shoulder and bad concussion. Fortunately, a plastic surgeon stitched him up and you can barely see the scars. Only faintly in the sunlight, and geesh, they sewed his whole eyebrow back on... He is still a stunner and very handsome .

Hope you all are well.
