and the humidity just keeps on ........and on.......and on......and on

our load of wood is saturated
and unstacked
i am aggravated beyond what i can say
so we won't talk about that

we'll talk about deviled ham salad........

where in you put some mayo, mustard, a few drops of green tabasco
some honey....... and some finely chopped cooked ham (use the food processor and pulse until it's almost a paste)
all together and boom.........
you can't stop eating it

on crackers, by the spoonful, as a spread......
i can see this dropped on slices of fresh cucumber with a tiny shrimp and sprig of dill

we had the fresh cucumber but not the mini shrimp and dill
i already had a few spoonfuls this morning
it would be good pipped around a deviled egg or pipped into half of the deviled egg....with the other half the yolk
pretty versatile
ok so the ham is done and the bone is in the stockpot and that is simmering
today i am going to finish up some odds and ends in the kitchen
then get ready for the chicken....
i have to get the stock into the fridge too so i can get the fat layer solid and off it
i think i am going to be cleaning the fridge too

i been thinking about our fridge...... bernie reversed the door and ever since the gasket is open at the top
we can't seem to fix it either
and it's caused some rust on the fridge......which is 17 years old
i don't think it's truly time to replace it but it is time to start to think about it......and i am thinking that it would maybe be a good idea to get something that is about 11 cubic feet, and all fridge.....something like an under counter only built in above...... with maybe one freezer drawer for ice and icecream....since we have the big freezers downstairs
i know there is stuff like that in europe.....(they have ALL the fun)
but here?
the land of the bigger is better? i don't know
anyway a quick search doesn't kick up anything either close to what i had in mind or affordable

you know if i ever get this kitchen settled it will be a miracle....

well today is 92% humidity.....which if you folks come from drier areas means it's like breathing through a warm wet towel......you'll get some air but not much
and you'll sweat
but it won't cool you down as it won't evaporate.......
that would be about right
even being in a pool won't help much
nor will multiple showers as you will sweat the second you get out
you won't be able to get dried off

oye
just the day to hide in the ac no?

poor bernie is working in this.....on diesel rigs...... cause even though he's management he's working management.... and he is such a perfectionist he'd have to get under the hoods anyway...to make sure it was done right...
he'll have a good supper though.... i'll make sure
and i'll chill some fruit for him too...... so that will help
he took his gatoraide
the heat's put him in a vile mood...i can't blame him really, i have issues with this extreme heat and humidity too

maybe in a few days some of the humidity will be over and then i'll start to stack as my wood is soaked now
and we're to get 4 more cords in two weeks! then another 4 two weeks after that!

anyone want to come stack wood in a steam bath?
