THUNDERSTORM DAMAGE VIDEO - HOMEMADE PIZZA, FRIED OKRA, SUSHI - TRY THAT IN A SMALL TOWN - JUST BECAUSE - LIGHTENING STRIKE

 

THUNDERSTORM DAMAGE VIDEO HERE

Homemade Pizza        having fun in the kitchen this week.

Pepperoni, black and cheese. Our son turned us on to this simple mix. I stretch and work the dough and my wife does the sauce and toppings. This pizza is exactly what we want when we order at any pizza joint.

Those photos you often see of cheese dripping down from a fresh slice of pizzeria pizza. Yea, homemade can do exactly that!!

 

Bubbling sauce, meat and cheese.

Fried Okra 

 

The bride's third batch. Add a little salt. Finger food and the first to go at dinner last night.

West neighbor grew okra this season and has bucketfuls to gift away. 

His wife taught my wife how to prepare and fry. A lesson in her kitchen a week or so ago. A recipe passed down through generations and now in our kitchen. 

Lightly-salted flavor and crunch. 

Sushi 

 

The bride has also been playing with new Sushi making tools. Photo above also a third batch.

All of above has been a way to help pass time while we endure the Texas heat. Upside of the time spent are new meals we can add to liven up meal times. Just add wasabi...

I am losing bragging rights about bad weather to my son, living in middle NH. He reports that a lightening strike hit 3 ninety-foot trees just 25 yards east of his home. Melted rock near the roots of the trees. 

The trees are still standing, but splintered from the trunks to their tops. He says he is has no desire to try to take them down himself. "I can see the trees raining down splinters just as I touch the base of one of those trees with a chainsaw." "Blew the top off of the transformer down the driveway." 

 As for weather here in east Texas: its hot!

Thanks for the visit. Keep on keeping on and and have a blessed week.

 

(Lasts minute solution this morning for a spider bite problem on my big toe). Works great. Wife says I look like a hobo.  Function trumps looks!!
