My DH, Roomie and I went down to Laguna Beach and went into the shops. Ran into a couple of crazies who were yelling to no one in particular. My DH and roomie went to a restaurant on the sand which was nice but the meal, not so much. DH had a burger that cost $13 and was not very good. Roomie had eggs benedict that was only middlin". I didn't eat and was glad I didn't because the bill came to $40. I don't like spending that on crummy food. We came home and went to bed for a nap. No one wants dinner tonight.

Sounds like an expensive chitty day bugs.

Tina had that this afternoon. She swears by Zantac for relief. Especially at night when asleep. She has to sleep in the recliner too; so the g e r d doesn't back up and choke her.    

I have had my thyroid tested and yes I am hypothyroid and take a daily pill.

bugs.... ever get the thyroid function tested?

Ooops, forgot about the huge snapping turtle that I met on their driveway.  I was amazed at the length of that sucker's neck when I picked it up.  I was only trying to move it from the driveway into the bush.

Tonight it was grilled sausages and a fabulous salad!

Oh, those snappers are rascals. I remember we were up at a lake and mom was bitten by a snapper turtle on the big toe. He crabbed ahold, and wouldn't let go.  

I love grilled sausages...sounds good.

The salad really hit the spot -- so nice and cold on a hot day.  I'm looking forward to sharing it with Brian for lunch tomorrow, as I know it won't last the day.

Tina. Gabe, and son Jimmy ate it, but I just had potatoes and cooked spinach like popeye the sailor.

Tina made a blueberry cake. Just took it out of the oven. Can't wait to eat some.

Crybaby wrote:It's funny but in summer, I'm just not as hungry as I normally am.  Brian marinated some huge boneless chicken breasts yesterday in a citrus fresh thyme marinade.  They were quite good.  He also smoked some baked beans and though they're delicious, I skipped them and ate about a half of a chicken breast.

I asked him today if he minded if I cut up the rest of the smoked chicken breasts and made some cold chicken salad.  Like me, it's one of his favorites, so he said to go for it.  I mixed sour cream with some mayo (1 to 1), and seasoned it with salt, pepper, dill, grated lemon peel and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice.  I chilled that while I cut up the chicken, onion, green onion and celery (I like tons of celery).  Once the mayo mix was cold and I adjusted the seasonings, I cut about 50 cold green seedless grapes in half and added them to the salad.  The only thing I didn't have was sliced almonds, which I also like to add.  Then I put the salad in the beer cooler to chill a couple of hours.  Served it on romaine leaves with some of the romaine chopped up on top of the open leaves.
