Tropics

So Katia, kah-tyah, is a hurricane now, but despite what you see on the TV news, it isn't coming here. It doesn't even appear to be threatening to come here!

However, the little business cooking up in the Gulf of Mexico could make the weather a bit dicey over the weekend. Not likely, but you never know. If both systems zap all the moisture out of our air however, that will not be good. Our plants are toasty dry. We need rain .... but not as much rain as they had in Vermont.

Chili's tonight for a University High Spirit night. Three days into a renewed effort to do the South Beach diet thing. Not going so well.

However, last night I popped pork chops in a Pampered Chef baking stone 9 by 13 pan, sprinkled liberally with citrus basil rub, topped with sliced zucchini and yellow squash. More rub. Convection roast for about an hour while I walked three miles at Gemini Springs. Perfection!
