Work has been crazy. I was getting about 4 hours of sleep per night. I just crashed today. I'm guessing I slept about 11-12 hours. It wasn't continual because my lovely dogs kept barking at any noise outside. I'll take what I can get. I get to start it over again Monday. Out of the blue, I noticed that my one dog has 'silver' hair. I know it's not really silver. It's just thin and slightly oil sheen which gives the metalic effect.

Recipe: Mexican Rice
Disclaimer: I've been pointed to about 5 or 6 variations of this recipe. I am not trying to be deaf to the ethnic description. But again the recipes I found all had the same name. So I take it the people making these recipes see it as a badge of honor. Here is my take on the recipe: Ingredients 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil 2 tbsp Olive Oil 1 cup Uncooked Rice, preferably long-grain and unwashed 1/2 tsp Garlic Salt 1/2 cup Chopped Onions 2 cups Low Sodium Broth, preferably Chicken Broth but Beef Broth can be used as well 1 cup Tomato Sauce Directions Gather and measure all the ingredients Heat the Oils in a medium sauce pan at medium sauce pan When the oil is hot and starts to become fragrant add Rice, Garlic Salt, and Cumin Stir constantly until the Rice is turning golden. If you smell burning BACK OFF ON THE THE HEAT! Olive Oil burn at lower temperature then Corn or Vegetable Oil. If you are concerned with Oil temperature I would recommend just using all Vegetable Oil. You will not get some…

Law enforcement has arrested a 22-year-old suspect, Tyler Robinson. Utah's governor has stated the suspect had a "leftist ideology," though a definitive motive has not been released.

This question came up when were given so peaches and asked to make peach pie filling. I said blanch them and then the skin comes out (over simplifying the process but you get the idea.) My wife said just use a vegetable peeler. We were both right and wrong, Vegetable peelers are great for Goldie Locks zone of peached. If you get them not hard but not too too soft you're golden. (see that little joke there.) Blanching - is for everything else. Here is a brief video I found on how to do both ways: How To Peel and Pit Peaches | Southern Living
