Bom Dia a Todos !! (Remember that from Portugal?)
Good Morning Everybody (even if you are reading this in the afternoon or evening :)
June seems to be flying by with the days of long sunshine/daylight and the explosion of growth in the trees, bushes, plants, grasses and life.
Before I get into the main “adventure” of this Post, I have a few thoughts to put out there :)
What’s your favorite saying these days? Maybe one of these?
- Hot enough for you?
- Stay hydrated!
- I love humidity!
- You’re not walking in this heat are you?
- Hotter than a firecracker!
- Too hot to cook!
Is GREEN the color of the month/season? Maybe, but what about the sky blues, cloud whites/greys and every color imaginable in the flowers/trees/fruits?

I don’t want this Post to be a “term paper” so I will offer the following links if you want to learn a little about the “good old days” in Chicago :)
The Chicago Boulevards aka The Emerald Necklace.
The Midway Plaisance aka Washington Park Meadow (one mile long and 200 yards wide)
The World’s Columbian Exposition aka Chicago World’s Fair 1893

Would love to see this idea reinstated :) When I think maybe it is “too hot to cook” I think of fresh fruit and “Cowboy Caviar” - remember that from MyShadow Post #178 ? I like the recipe because there is total freedom to add/subtract ingredients as you like/dislike. I think it is intended to be a dip, but I prefer to eat it like a cold salad. With this recipe it tends to make a pretty “big bowl full” because if you don’t use a whole can, what do you do with the remainder?
I think it is best to add Roma Tomatoes and/or Avocado chunks just before eating I took a photo of my recent batch and used the iPhoto identifier “tool”. It came back “look up food” and I clicked on that and amazingly it said “Cowboy Caviar” :) “No Fishing In or On the Canoe Chute” That’s all for now, Have a Good One, and “Stay Hydrated” :) :) |
