I made crab ceviche this morning so I wouldn’t have to turn on the stove/oven or stand in front of a hot grill. It’s hard to describe how hot it felt outside today. Right now it’s cooled of to 83 here but then again it is after 11:00 pm!
I have this salad I like to make when it’s really hot. It’s very cooling. In fact I’m going to go get the ingredients tomorrow. I don’t measure amounts or anything.
Slice up an English cucumber, a red onion, and as many tomatoes as you like. I usually use a container of grape tomatoes, sometimes even two containers. Add some chopped or crumbled feta cheese and Greek olives. Use enough dressing to coat everything, not too much. I use Greek dressing. You can also add a green or red pepper if you want. This lasts me a few days. The English cucumbers will stay crisp for quite awhile.
You can’t believe how good this tastes on a hot day!
Yeah that sounds good, I made big Greek salads yesterday for dinner, complete with the potato salad tucked under the lettuce.
There is a cucumber recipe used here in Banjoville that is quite refreshing on a hot day. Take some cucumbers chopped, ripe tomatoes chopped, and thinly sliced onions put them in a bowl…do not use a stainless steel bowl! A corning ware one will be perfect. Pore sugar and white vinegar to taste…I usually put enough vinegar to just cover the cukes, tomatoes and onions…it should be sweet and tangy. Let that sit for at least a few hours, overnight is best so the sugar dissolves. Stir it once in a while it is sitting to mix the flavors.
Gee — I’m glad I live in the Puget Sound. It was warm today but now it’s 56 outside. Sunny and the bluest of bluest skies today. Fantastic day.
Someone is 3 days off with their fireworks. Sounds like warfare out somewhere.
My drink — Trader Joe’s lemon mineral water. Can’t have any of the fruit stuff — looks good though. Oh gosh — I might have a rum on the rocks with some lime. Mt. Gay rum — nothing but the best.
The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

Oh, that image of Key Largo is making me go watch it right now!
Oops, I thought it was a picture, it is a clip.
It’s just the trailer …sorry.
Key Largo is one of my all-time favorites.
I’ve been reading a mystery all day long.

That’s about what it is here.
Oh, that sounds good!!!
It was yummy, but as far as I’m concerned you could serve me cilantro on a shoe and I would eat it and think it was delicious. I love the stuff!
That sounds good Janicen…yum.

That sounds wonderful … I’m going to try that!!!
It is really good. And you can make a meal of it or have something else on the side.

Same with the ceviche, use only a glass bowl. No metal or plastic otherwise the seafood won’t be cooked by the citrus.
I’d like to try making those fruit popsicles!

Gin and tonic with extra lime here, and lime slices in the ice cubes.
