Outdoor Wednesday

This is how the days have been: foggy and rainy.

Well, we can't complain about it because the rain is needed and becuase it's so nice.

Just look at the beauty of this flower all covered with raindrops.

For Outdoor Wednesday at Southern Daydreamer

So beautiful

Remember a yellow rose I posted some time ago?

It was from a rose plant my mother gave me at Christmas.

She also gave me another, a dark pink one.

Look at that, I believe it's one of the most beautiful roses I ever saw.

For Today's Flowers.

Pork chops

As you know, I lie to post some yammy things my husband cooks. Somebody complaned that I don't post the recipes. I even told that to my husband but the problem is he, sometimes, doesn't have a recipe, just cooks and it's all. Sometimes he has, sometimes he doesn't.

So today I will post yesterdays dinner and I'll try to remember what he used to cook:

pork chops

olive oil or butter

cream

mushrooms

mustard (with the grains)

salt

onion

parsley

big potatoes

green beans

cawliflower

Now.

He fried the chops - in butter or olive oil (?).

Added the onions and mushrooms, salt and parsley.

After he fried he added cream to make the sause with the mustard.

Previousely he cooked the potatoes, first a bit boiled and then baked in their jackets.

Boiled also the cawliflower and the green beans finely cut .

Et voilà.

I think better than this I can't explain.

Pink Saturday

Because the days have been so dark and grey, let's put some pink flowers for this Pink Saturday.

These flowers belong to an historic garden that we have here. It's beautiful on everyday of the year, rainy or not.

So, one of this days, me and my husband went there in th rain ( ! ) and took some pretty pictures.

Aren't they nice?

One of this days I must go there again in the sunshine to take more pictures - without the rain.

Show and Tell Friday

I know most of us, in our Show and Tell Friday, show some beautiful objects that we have at our homes. Even so, when I was thinking on what should I show you this Friday, I had the idea of, instead, to show some of the good cooking my husband does.

He’s such a good cook that I’m always taking pictures.
So, in today’s Show and Tell, you will see some DH kitchen delights.

First, this wonderful piece of porc, roled and seasoned that he bought in his favorite butcher. He cooked it in the oven.


In the end, it tasted like ham. Very good indeed.

Look at that. Isn't it yammy?
On the other day, it was beef.


Here it is before it was sliced.


With two different kind of mushrooms.



The above one had a lot of garlic and was roasted in the oven.
It was so good, but I also liked the little ones.



And in the New Years Eve, in the night, we had lobster, a special treat he usualy buys in that day of the year.

Delurking

I found this buttons over the Internet.

I don't know who owns the credits.

Rain and more rain

Oh, the rain that is falling here!...
Looks like the whole world is falling down in the form of rain.
My clothes are still on the line! All wet.
Never mind, after the rain it will come the sun and then they will dry.
The only problem with the rain is, as I was sleeping today in the wee hours of the day, I heard and felt something unsusual. I woke up and it was a drop of rain that came through the roof and the ceiling that is made of wood and landed on my bedside table! Can you imagine the nuisance?
There I went to put a towel on top of the table and above it a plastic box to receive the drops.
And then I went to sleep again.
Now, when the rain stops, my husband must send a man to fix the roof.
Never mind, there is so many bad things in the world, a chip in the roof is not one of them.
Praise Our Lord for the sun but also for the rain.
Tomorow is another day.
