Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High 73F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Things started off wet with rain overnight yesterday, leaving a half inch in the rain gauge by mid afternoon. Then I started hearing thunder near dinner time, and radar showed a big green blob with yellow and orange center making a bee line for the neighborhood. Lightning lit up the sky, it started raining cats'n'dogs, and next thing you know hail was rattling off the sliding glass doors, covering the porches in whiteness. Picked up an inch and a half of rain in less than an hour, then it all ended in a pretty double rainbow. Maybe we'll get some more May flowers as a result?
One man's trash is another man's treasure, Check. Good find!
Brought home some stew meat from the grocery store, so diced it up and made a sort of beef stew in the InstaPot. Browned it, then threw in a couple cups of brown rice, a quart of good porter, a couple bay leaves and some thyme and onion powder, some garlic, a little salt, some Liquid Smoke, and pressure cooked it all for 30 minutes. Added a can each of corn and green beans, then slow cooked for another couple hours, as the rice wasn't quite done. Turned out pretty tasty for a throw together dish.
Gonna torch at least one burn pile today, but not sure what else is on the agenda.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!
