All's quiet on the western front, (hopefully)
Well, good afternoon everyone, I still here, didn't get blown away.
We had a very rough evening, and finally around 8pm, it started quieting down and then this morning, the rain is coming down in buckets. My back lot looks like Lake Mead, all I need now are fish, and I would have it made.
It is just going to be a quiet day here. Amazing, from all of the things and little sleep , I was able to get 2 loaves of bread done, and its on the rise, and 2 and 1/2 qt of strawberry yogurt done. I amaze myself. I am digging through the freezer and found some minute steaks, so that is what is on the menu for tonight. Baked minute steaks, in beefy mushroom sauce, and fresh asparagus from the neighbor's garden and mashed potatoes. Not too sure about dessert, maybe an apple pie from the freezer too.
Thank you for your comments, it really helped last night. I was on the computer watching the storms roll in, our weather warnings here aren't great, so it is easier for me to keep track of storms movements through the computer and our local weather bureau at the airport. The last photo of the low cloud you see was the start of rotation of a tornado that was just 1 mile from me. Though it did not look like the classic storm, it was wrapping really fast and moving at about 50 mph. The tornadoes are an awesome and mesmerizing part of nature, but when you are in the middle of its fury, its not a beach party. The hail did a little damage in the garden, but I did manage to cover most of it, and so it will be fine. West of me had hail from baseball to golf ball size hail. We just had the smaller stuff I posted, but even that does damage.
I am getting some items ready, and I will soon do a post on dehydrating a veggie soup base. I have been collecting leftover veggies and then I will dehydrate and then grind it up for a base. I just need to order nutritional yeast and some lovage. I am planning on growing lovage in my herb garden to have on hand, and I love its flavor. I will see if I can pull this off. I have all of the other ingredients I need to finish, except these two.
Well, I just thought I'd pop in and tell you I am still here, not in Toto land with Dorothy. I hope that my readers are and will be ok, because these storms were marching to the east like Sherman marching on Georgia. Please take care all.
Hugs
