How about “HEY! When do I get fed?”
Tiny Daffodil
These little yellow daffodils are so cute! They are only about an inch across and the cup is only a half-inch deep. Click on the image for a close up.
Yellow Icelandic Poppy
The first yellow Icelandic poppy opened today. I planted these yellow poppies and some red-orange poppies in planters on the front porch steps.
Point Vicente Panorama
Verna and I took a quick detour to point Vicente today after visiting the County Recycle Center. I snapped a series of images toward the point and Catalina Island and “stitched” them together to make the panorama below. Click on the thumbnail for the full-sized image.
Kaffir Lily
Before all the rain started this week, I went out on the patio and took this shot of the first Kaffir Lily blooms of the year. These nice bright flowers do better if they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Click on the image to enlarge.
Super Sunday
Verna and I prepared our Superbowl Sunday meal yesterday – we decided on pulled pork sandwiches served with blue cheese broccoli slaw and a dill pickle, a traditional Memphis pit BBQ meal.
I started the picnic roast (pork shoulder) in the crockpot early yesterday morning, throwing in some pepper, fruit juices, chopped onion and garlic cloves. We let it cook all day. When I pulled the pork it was literally falling off of the bone. I used a couple of forks to shred the meat and separate the lean stuff away from the fat.
Verna came up with a wonderful home made barbecue sauce with that tart southern cooked taste. She placed a scoop of the shredded pork on a bun and topped it with the sauce. It was the best.
We chowed down during the pregame show and took our after dinner walk at halftime. It was a great meal, a good football game and an all around great day – really a Super Sunday.
