Table Setting

Homemade pizza, spinach salad, beer and fine silverware make for a great weekend meal.

The topping for the pizza is pancetta (Italian bacon), grilled zucchini, marinated artichoke hearts, acorn squash and chopped black olives. All topped with Havarti and Mozzarella cheese.

The silverware is a fork and a .357 magnum.

Bok Choi

Last year, we planted some bok choi (a type of Chinese cabbage) in our garden. The bok choi liked it here and now we have them all over the garden, One of the perks with this edible plant is the fact that it produces these beautiful flower clusters on a stalk.

California Brown Pelican

One of the prettiest sights you can see on the California coastline is pelicans soaring along the cliffs. This is a breeding-age California Brown Pelican – the red markings under the bill and other color attributes indicate the pelican’s age. I took this photo last Saturday when we were at Point Vicente.

Upgrade

We had the installer put in a new High Definition DirecTV dish and receiver for our new HDTV today. The new pictures we’re getting are great!

Boomflash

Verna’s Para Warthog .45 caliber pistol is going back to the depot for repairs and alignment. The main recoil spring mechanism broke and she had to send it in for replacement. While it’s there, we’re asking them to restore it to factory new condition.

Meanwhile, she fires my Glock 30 when we’re shooting .45 caliber ammo. You can see from the image that in addition to the loud report the gun makes, there is the added bonus of a nice, bright muzzle flash.
