Through The Mud Clearly

It is too hot to be cooking in the house today, so I

went outside and fired up the grill. It was the perfect

opportunity to try "fresh from the garden" grilled squash.

I picked one, and while the charcoal was burning off, I took

it inside and washed it.


Then I sliced it and added chopped onion and garlic.

I added a bit of butter and wrapped the whole thing

in foil. MMMM sounds good huh! I placed the packet

on the grill along with a salmon fillet. In less than 15

minutes dinner was done! And it was mighty tasty

if I do say so!



One more thing...you can't see it because I forgot

to take a picture of it....but I also added a fresh picked

tomato to the plate.

There is a serious case of global warming here in my office. The ice in my thermal cup is melting faster than Alaska glaciers! A few WEEKS ago (June 3rd to be exact) I wrote about the air conditioning being out....its still out. Yesterday Gilligan from Facilities Maintenance (its his nickname..he looks like the Skipper's little buddy...his other nickname is Scooby; as in Scooby Doo) I think his real name is Richard, came in. He reported "a new unit is to be installed today"(Thursday). Cheers arose from the Security Officer and myself. Then he said: "however a crew was supposed to be here at 6:30am- they never showed so its not gonna happen today..maybe tomorrow, but probably not until next week". Our cheers turned to tears...or maybe it was sweat! I need more ice.

Just wanted to post a better photo of the Sunflowers.

I have made a few changes to my blog. Well, OK I completely revised and updated it. I think this is the one I am going to stick with for a while. I think it is better.

WooHoo!!! Marmalade is feeling better. She is starting to act like her old self...she jumped on my bed in the middle of the night (she hasn't jumped on anything since being injured) so I could pet her. I was happy to do it. This morning she went into the garden..( the other thing she hasn't done)..and tried to catch a big black bee. She is still limping but is on the mend. Yippee!!
