We're both off from work today as are we are sure many of you are around the country. Of course, it's one day in the middle of the week and it will be back to work tomorrow.
So today we relax, daydream, and enjoy being together while creating some good food. 2nd Man is making a pound cake, I'm roasting some fruit in the oven (pics upcoming) and we're having steak, fries, and broccolini. We might pop open a bottle of wine.
Unfortunately for everyone in this part of the state though, it's a wet day. Rain and somewhat heavy storms. No outdoor activity happening today.
We'll just have to make it a good day anyway.
Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July!
We missed the rain last night but it's starting to rain here now. All the plants and trees will be happy and it will be a bit cooler.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and 2nd Man will have a great 4th indoors. All that good food sounds delicious! Happy 4th of July!
I bet you got your rain, at least it looked like it on the radar. And you probably saw Houston inundated again but thankfully it stopped and receded. Hop you had a great day too!
DeleteMy friend came Monday for our 4th. I did not want him on the road on a holiday. So, I am here alone and not sad about that. It is a beautiful day. We have rain just about every day now! What are you putting over the pound cake. I like canned peaches, home or store bought, over my pound cake.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad y'all think ahead like that. We don't like to get on the road on holidays either. I hope you had a great day. I'll have a post with the fruit. I roasted some blueberries and strawberries in the oven. It was SO good! Peaches are wonderful too.
Deletewe had a thunderstorm last night, but we are still hazy/hot/humid here. not cooking outside; too hot and I cannot breathe out there. so indoor fixings tonight.
ReplyDeleteNo cooking outside for us even if we wanted to, it was a monsoon all day. Hope you both had a great day too!!
DeleteJust watched the Weather Channel and they were showing flooded roads all over Houston. Hope you guys are ok. Janie
ReplyDeleteThank you, we are fine, there was street flooding and a few cars underwater around town but being a holiday most people were off the roads so that was good. Thank you for checking on us.
DeleteGood day to stay indoors isn't it? Bet you're mowing this weekend ☔️
ReplyDeleteIt sure was. And yep, barring more rain, I'll be mowing again. ;-). Hope you were not too flooded and had a great day.
DeleteI'm at home, but I don't work on Wednesdays so it would be pretty silly if I went in.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I could get used to being off in the middle of the week, ha. Thanks and Happy 4th!
DeleteWe went to a rodeo this aftetnoom. Surprised to get a bit of rain. Still need to go water my potted plants as they didn't get much rain under the tree. Hope you had a good day away from work!
ReplyDeleteA rodeo, I bet you had fun. A day away from work is always a good day, ha .
