Baldo en Español by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for March 27, 2011

Actually I was at the first Winterhaks playoff game of the season and it was a

game! A 4-0 shutout!!!

I’m glad that your team played such a

game!

Buenos Dias Locos! Sorry your Winterhaks snerk* lost so badly JFri!

snerk

Ah!!! It feels great to start the morning off with a couple of good snerks.

*cleo RE-READ HIS STATEMENT! *

Buenos Dias a todos!

cleo Lazy buggers? Where were you, hmm? Asleep watching a movie, that’s where!

Por lo menos no hablan con la boca llena.

(At least they do not talk with their mouths full.)

And Dry there is no need to re-read the statement. I know exactly what he was saying. I just chose to be snerky!

WELL EXCUSE ME! HMPH! ;-D

Mighty quiet around here. I am going to be making two dinners today, one for tomorrow called “Zuppa d’Orzo con Salsiccia”. For tonight I am making “Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Jambalaya.” Guests are welcome.

I’ll be there cleo, as soon as I put my roast chicken in the oven. Going to roast one that will last a couple of days for piecing and such.I think I know what you are making for tmr. Is it Barley Soup with Sausage?

Yep it is Dry. It is a recipe out of an Italian Farm Cookbook by Lynn Rosetto Kasper. I am using a smoked ham hock. It sounds very good. We got the cookbook from the Bookmobile and I may buy a copy.

I had to go to a nursery half an hour’s drive to pick up the raspberry canes I was looking for, but at least I have them.

I love to use ham hocks for recipes. They flavor the dish so much more so than just regular ham.

Do you have any fruit trees, cleo? I can’t remember if you ever said or not, but if you don’t, you should.

We have two plum trees and an apple that we do not eat, so we just keep it as a shade tree. We have tried without success to plant some others, but LilG has just started to shift her focus from strictly ornamental to edible stuff and is still working through the kinks.

We eat the plums, the apple was here when she bought the house and it is a transparent and we have enough to do without harvesting it to make applesauce or pies or whatever.

Too bad you don’t have deer around there. They LOVE apple trees! My mom and dad had apple trees, the deer would come out and eat the apples off the trees. Mom used to use the apples for pies and applesauce (Man could she cook and bake!) but daddy never kept after the trees, and when they got Pepper, a puppy gift from us) he stopped spraying altogether so Pepper wouldn’t get into the poison. She would eat the apples off the ground!

If I stay gone from here for a while, I have to sign back in again.

We definitely have deer! That is why I had to buy the new raspberry canes.

It is too bad that you have to sign in all the time Dry! If I walk away from my computer for a few hours I am having to shut it down and restart it to get it to do anything.

Actually that is untrue, I have to turn my surge protector off and on and then hit the power button on my computer.

Well so much for discussion. Dinner is about on the table. I

I am here my little sweet tart!

Wherefore art thou!

And don’t come here talking about lazy little buggers again!

ALAS, WE MUST DOEST PART WAYS FOR NOW! LOL! Don’t make fun of my Shakespeare!

GOODNIGHT ALL, try hard not to miss me! Until we meet again,

I’ll see ya’ when I see ya’!

Not if I shalt see Thee first! I shall miss you dearly, but I shall be brave and not cry.

Fare thee well, and Good Night.

Shika,

(thanks!)
