Happy Birthday!!! @stormtracker

My mom just sent me a wonderful recipe for crab balls! They are like mini crab cakes that you can pop into your mouth. Going to get some crab to try them out.

Hail core went just to my West but got close to my house. Still pouring. Edit: they just warned the storm coming out of Loudoun into MoCo. Where we board my daughters pony my friends farm is getting hail.

Getting dumped on over here. The storm coming through has some purple on it at the junction of 340 and 15. Lot of lightning and thunder.

Yep it is tzatziki. Love the stuff!

Pork Souvlaki with peppers and yellow squash on rice pilaf. Experimented with the pilaf and made it in the rice cooker. Turned out good.

You might have seen the storms over top of me last night. Was a pretty decent storm.

Nope served hot.

I don’t have to have on my Thunderstorm Pandora station to fall asleep. Mother Nature is on it.

Sure! I would add it after baking though. Oh and you cook it in a 9x13. And salt and pepper the fish.

Just got dumped on. Unfortunately my rain gauge on my weather station must be clogged as it did not collect a reading. Nice garden variety t-storm.

This recipe was super easy! Lemon slices, olive oil, cherry tomatoes and thyme. Bake at 400 for 15 min.

I love me some fish and chips. Have done baked versions and you are correct with a good piece of fried cod. I actually just ordered a air fryer to see if I can do a healthier version.

Nice light dinner for this hot day. Baked cod and a tasty salad.

I am sure she will keep moving along. I know about Meadowbrook as the lady who announces at this farm, Sandstone in Millwood VA also did some announcing at Meadowbrook. I love horses and when my daughter started showing interest it just seemed the natural way to go.

Warned storm coming out of Northern Loudoun Co into Maryland.

Will see if it makes it over the mountains. My home area has missed storms these last few days. 87/65 here

Ok so for some reason did not realize it was supposed to feel tropical yesterday. But we got through it. Had a horse show with masks and staying socially distanced at the trailers. We’re allowed to go up ringside when the younger Miss J had her rounds. They had a mister fan set up so she stood her pony in front of it and got cooled off. She had a very good day despite the humidity. Finally showed us consistency between her jump rounds minus stopping her pony from doing her favorite line in the horse stride of 4 instead of 5. It is heading towards the in gate and has an oxer. Her favorite jump. The horse stride is ok as she will be trying to qualify for pony finals in KY next year and the ponies that do best have a horse stride to make the lines easy.

He sounds like the oldest Miss J. She has an old soul ever since she was born. Sorry to hear about your kitty, she will forever hold a place in your hearts.

It does have a filter on it to enhance the contrast. The sun was washing the image.

We are over South of Lovettsville, VA and got this shot.

Yep we buy from a local grass fed farm here in Frederick. They sell by the cut and keep it as freezer beef. So you can go in weekly and load up if you want. Like this week I need 2 lbs. ground beef and a flank steak. They run specials also and you can get bulk with a price discount. We do not eat a lot of red meat so this option works great. And I love seeing the cows out grazing as I drive in. Taught my girls where their food came from.

If you need any of the recipes just let me know.

Not going to lie, I still occasionally eat fish sticks! Thinking of getting an air fryer for fish and chips. I have done baked versions but honestly fish and chips just needs to be fried.

Yep you do what works best for your family. You can keep her stuff on hand and just cook for two. I hate turning on the oven in the summer so we do a lot of sandwiches and grilling.
