Whip it up...

Last night Andrew had to go to school until late, so I decided to make dinner for my parents (to save them from eating out) I looked in their freezer and found frozen Ruffe (type of light white fish) and I found some lemons in the fridge. I used my grill pan and I sliced the lemons thin and put them in the pan with some olive oil. Then I grabbed some fresh Thyme from our garden and added that. Then I put the fish on top with a nice spice rub (it has stuff like oregano and red pepper flakes, etc.) Then in another saute pan I put pickled beets and spinach and a little red wine vinegar. I cooked it until the spinach had wilted.

I served it on a plate and TA-DA!!! DELICIOUS! I love making things up as I go!! I wish I had taken a picture. It looked really nice too.

TV

I watched a lot of TV as a kid. Too much in fact. But I saw on this blog a throw back to old shows and it made me want to remember other childhood favorites. Here is my top 20 list in no particular order:

1- cosby show.
2- boy meets world
3- full house
4- family matters
5- family ties
6- Alf
7- Punky Brewster
8- The facts of life
9- dougie howser
10- Charles in Charge
11- blosom
12- different strokes
13- whos the boss
14- growing pains
15- threes company
16- Dinosaurs
17- the wonder years
then there were a few I found that I had forgotten about - I don't think I remember the shows, but they are a distant memory
18 - Silver Spoons
19 - small wonder
20- perfect strangers

any of these your favorite too?

HOT HOT HOT cold HOT

Right Now in St. Louis it is 95°F, but "Feels Like": 101°
we are under and "EXCESSIVE HEAT ADVISORY" until tomorrow evening.

So why may I ask did I have to turn off my Office AC, sit outside for 10 minutes and now put on my jacket? Not sure...but I am cold.

I love being warm...and it was great getting a little vitamin D in the "101°" weather

I am sure I will get hot and need to ditch the jacket and turn on the AC again.
