Thanks for your sweet words yesterday. We won at trial. It meant the difference between losing careers and dreams for three lovely young women. After it was over, we all cried and cried...then I went home and slept for HOURS!
More human today, but still in need of lots of coffee!!!!
Hugs,
Day
Well, congrats to you! I'm glad it went well for you all. Celebrate!

Grits and scrambled eggs.......two great tastes that go great together.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
No, seriously, that's what it says beneath my name so it must be true.

this is for all my southern bros and sis's
where else can you find grits anyway?
1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined*
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups hot stock (shrimp, chicken, or vegetable)
1/4 cup butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup stone-ground grits**
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
6 bacon slices
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped green or red bell pepper
* Add add flavor, place the shells of the shrimp in a saucepan and cover with water. Simmer over low heat approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the broth, discarding shells. Add shrimp broth to hot stock.
** If using quick-cooking grits (not instant, reduce cream to 1/2 cup and reduce stock to 1 cup.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cream water, and hot stock; bring to a gentle boil. Add butter salt, and pepper. Slowly add grits, stirring constantly (so that the grits do not settle to the bottom and scorch), until all are added; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally (be careful not to scorch mixture), or until the grits are tender.
NOTE: Grits should have absorbed all of the liquid and become soft and should have the same consistency as oatmeal (moist, not dry). If the grits become too thick, add warm stock or water to thin. remove from heat.
Sprinkle shrimp with lemon juice, salt, and pepper; set aside. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook bacon until brown but not crisp. Remove from heat and pat dry with paper towels; set aside. Coarsely chop bacon when cool. Reserve 4 tablespoons bacon grease in the frying pan. Add onion, garlic, and green or red bell pepper; saute 10 minutes or until the onion is transparent. Add shrimp mixture and bacon; saute 5 to 7 minutes or until shrimp are opaque in center (cut to test). Remove from heat.
To serve, spoon hot grits onto individual serving plates and top with shrimp mixture.
Makes 4 servings.
peace you people
“It’s the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble. It’s seeing all those sunsets that does it. You can’t watch a sunset and then go off and set fire to your neighbor’s tepee. Living close to nature is wonderful for your mental health.”

I wonder if the members of Pearl Jam get excited that it is Friday... do they have a sense of the "work week" and "weekend". I would guess not. Lucky them.

So how did I miss the movie "Singles" the first time around. Saw it last night... great period piece, and a lighthearted approach to Pearl Jam. I had no clue what to expect, other than it was loosely based on PJ/Seattle/Movement of the moment. Was wonderfully surprised to see somuch of the boys (and all the others). And gotta love Cameron Crowe... It is my new favorite. Def gonna buy that movie.

I get the "warm fuzzies" whenever I watch Singles. Its like a time warp to 1992. Yes, Crowe is the man. The good news is you can usually find the movie in the bargain bin at your local retail places. I bought it for $7 I think.
I know this is terrible to say, but I think this is a lost cause.
That said, play Texas -- and play Houston twice.
Depends on the cause. Most of us aren't expecting anything to happen this year now. Even if it isn't this year.........just come back and play the south. Maybe next year. The sooner the better.

By the way Ty Phoenix, I was told not to divulge the location of the Wings, if that's any consolation. And I agree, It's BULLSHIT.
Cool grits............:D
