BRING MAY FLOWERS"
Somewhat drenched, hanging baskets are soaking up the days of sun after several inches of heavy rainfall.
Green peppers staked to prevent them from falling over in the heavy rains and wind.

FERESH FRIED OYSTERS AND FRESH COD
Gulf of America fresh oysters off the Galviston, TX coast line. Absolutely a treat to once again find local oysters. There are as good as the oysters from the PNW.
Fresh cod finger food. Covered in flour, then egg, then Panko and fried for a minute or two on each side. Plated and salt. They give oysters a good run for top eats last week.
Fish taco because anything be a taco. Homemade tarter sauce like mom used to make. A taco like the one pictured above is heaven and we find that we can stretch a batch of fried cod into several meals for two. Fish Friday turned into oyster/fish Thursday, Friday and Saturday lunch.

STEAK TIPS
Like fresh ground hamburger in the hands of my wife, a small chunk of Texas style steak tips was eaten before cryo packing. I have mentioned this before, my wife's "wanting" for blood red meat. After watching her do this for years, I am finally coming to grips with it. When she says she likes her steak and hamburger cooked rare, she means blood rare. Every time I expect her to reject the "red rare" grilled meats prepared for her, she instead smiles and says "perfet." She says all this has much to do with being raised in Texas.

JIBBER JABBER
"Biggly" thunderstroms have been passing through followed by full sunny days. Large changes in temperatures. Starting fence painting today and in a perfect world, we will have the job done in a week. But more rainstorms will set that back. Most importantly, we will have started the job.

A Rainbow Lorikeet Parrot in Deshaies, Guadalupe looking as though it did not understand the question? This beautiful parrot well represents my daily posture regarding worldly issues.
Appreciate the visit this week.
