It rained, and rained hard, off and on all Thursday. On top of that, it was chilly here. Basically it was a a wet, dreary, cold, miserable day. I need something to cheer me up! So, I stopped at Farmer Jack's and picked up some fresh asparagus, crumbled feta cheese and a small "Meat Manager's Special" steak.
When I got home, I decided since I couldn't do anything outside, I would get the trailer parts organized in preparation of putting it together this weekend. So, I put a piece of plywood on the sawhorses and put all the bolts and nuts and other fasteners, along with the lights and wiring kit on top. I unloaded the wheels, fenders and springs and laid them out on the floor. Then I tackled the big box and set up all the steel, keeping like parts with like parts. So, I'm all set to start!
Got a nice surprise when I opened the mail. Jeremy and Jyl sent me an early Father's Day present: a card and a small jar of truffles! Later, Jeremy called and explained what they had to go through to find them. Thanks, guys!
Next I made dinner. I trimmed the asparagus, drizzled olive oil on it and then seasoned it with salt and pepper. Then I roasted it in the toaster oven for 14 minutes at 400 degrees F. (until it was tender). I served it with a good handful of feta cheese sprinkled on it. Interesting taste combination!
Because of the rain, I made the steak inside on the two-burner grill pan. Together, the steak and the asparagus made a very good dinner.
Watched taped TV until I fell asleep. Woke up at two, shut off the TV and the light, and then went to the bathroom. Glanced outside and saw heavy fog, the pea-soup variety! I haven't seen that thick of fog around here for a while. Went back to sleep...
It was quite the adventure. Here's hoping you enjoy the truffles as much as we enjoyed the search.
