You must get tired of me going on about the weather - you'd think this was an UK site! But the other day, when an inch was predicted, we got just under 1/4-inch! What a disappointment.
On the other hand, when not much precipitation was predicted for today at all, it's now thundering and lightening and occasionally pouring down rain. Probably not that much rain, but it is raining, which is a good thing. The day was pretty uneventful otherwise: both our maid and the gardner arrive on Saturday and the dogs go loco! You'd think seeing them each every week (the maid twice weekly) they'd be used to ithem by now, but they still react as if they've never seen them before. Terriers - grrr!
Our rain really varies between different parts of town. This living on the side of a mountain makes for different weather patterns depending upon whether yourre on the lea side or not, north of town or south, et cetera.
Michael does need to visit a friend's home across town this evening to feed the friend's dog and cat. He's taking our large umbrella - and will take the bus, I hope. The bus will get him within striking distance of the friend's home and the umbrella should provide the rest of the protection.
Michael did whip up a home-made salsa late in the day - good as usual, if slightly different. Depends upon what chilies are used in addition to the seared tomatoes. He uses both fresh chilis and dried and they vary depending upon what we have in stock. All have been yummy, if never quite the same.
We had a small stock of Fritos from a shop that visits Texas on a regular basis, so we had Frito Pie tonight! Not that I ever made Frito Pie when we lived in the States, but suddenly it's old home week. Of course, it's also a bit different from time-to-time (like the salsa), but still recognizable - and good!
