Mrs.J

While over at our inner circle friends house yesterday in NOVA, inner circle as we board youngest daughters pony there and have been together through out these past 4 months. A storm popped up over our house. Came home to a 1/2" in the back yard gauge. So Won't have to water the gardens just the deck today. 

Ok got creative tonight. Bacon wrapped chicken thighs and zucchini corn fritters.

Probably in the 1am hour. Radar image is from 5:33utc (1:33am edt). The downpours were moving SE.

Thanks! Yep I can see my location under those oranges and yellows.

Radarscope archives for 30 days on Pro tier 2.

I got a lightning alert around 0340 and was surprised and saw action well to our south.  Caught a few flashes on the tower PTZ, pretty meh TBH.  But soaking rain for those under them!

I have RadarScope but do not have the pro tiers. If anyone has it can you just look and see what time my area got the rain? You don't have to post a photo just curious with the time frame. Location is under my name.

I did not hear a thing either.  Is there a way to look back at radar for several hours?

I thought there used to be a way but not remembering.

Woke up to 0.6 in the gauge -- I think it was after midnight but not completely sure.  I'll count it as July 1.

Woke up and saw that it rained. Surprised to see .77” in the gauge?!?! Did not hear a thing.

Dinner tonight. Asian pork tenderloin with roasted yellow squash and zucchini and onion scapes. 

And last night had beef verde burritos.

This weather has been absolutely boring! 

It has been absolutely beautiful for the start up of Horse Shows. Having to wear a mask at the rings in oppressive heat is something that I am not looking forward to. 

Mr J and I decided on a deck date night. While in the past I took a Sushi we got take out tonight.

Tomorrow looks fantastic!!! hoping the storms decide to hold off until later in the evening so i can indulge on crabs and beer and forget that I'm closer to 40 than 30

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.

Kinda surprised that those two storms out west are not severe warned... have pretty decent hail cores on them per radarscope 

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.

Ohhh, tasty!!  Is that tsztiki dolloped on the top there?  (not sure I spelled that correctly, but I do like the stuff!!).  Rice cookers are great, by the way!  Had a roommate in grad school who had one.  It made just about perfect rice every time!!!

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.

I can see distant lightning from the storms in C MD looks like from here in Springfield, VA

It's likely either the storms out north of Leesburg that are in MD or the storms west of Middleburg in extreme western Loudoun County 

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

Is that chilled for a short time after baking?  Not that it would be bad either way (hot/cold)...for the fish.

Nope served hot. 

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

Cool...and thanks for sharing!  One thing...I wonder if a few slices of avocado would be good, adding to that (or would that be too much).  I'm a fan of avocado!

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.

Dammit, Mrs. J...that is quite the dinner!  And yeah, perfect for a hot day!

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

Mrs. J's dinner looks fantastic!  But don't hate on grease, bro.  I used to work at one of those AYCE Chesapeake Bay Seafood House's back in the day, and I loved their fried cod!! 

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.

That's Cool, Mrs. J!  My daughter has been taking riding lessons (and before that, summer camp sessions) at Meadowbrook Stables near Bethesda/Silver Spring.  Really likes it!  This summer they're allowing makeup classes for this past year (they were closed from March until now), so she's begun that again.  And she's doing work there as an assistant to some of the half-day camp sessions too (that started up last week).  She's a long way from jumping...right now her lessons have been walk/trot/canter.

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.
