The Southern Lady Cooks has an interesting post about Duncan Hines, the man behind those delicious cake mixes. I enjoyed the read.
We have been enjoying the new season of American Idol. The new judges (Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler) are doing a great job with the judging and seem so warm and caring of the contestants' feelings. And the contestants this year are so talented.
I baked some trout yesterday without adding any salt and it was delicious. I used green onions, cherry tomatoes, fresh thyme, a bit of hot sauce, and a splash of olive oil for flavour. I baked it on a tray lined with parchment paper at 350F for 20 minutes.
OMG, we found a bat in the basement last night. I googled a few things, but this is kind of scary although I saw that it's a sign of good luck.

Christine,
ReplyDeleteNo way can i see a man in the coffee beans. it must mean that my brain is extremely weak !
The trout sounds good
Half term sounded action packed !
Yikes! What did you do with the bat? I wonder how he got in the basement.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, the man is in the lower left corner somewhere, lol.
ReplyDeleteLadyCat I called Wildlife/Pest Control services and the man told us we could throw a wet towel over the bat and put him outside. He said rabies was not a concern. Turns out the bat was dead and stiff with rigor mortis when we fished him out of the sink. It was kind of sad. He may have got in through a furnace vent.
Sophia I read that according to feng shui principles, bats are a sign of good luck, wealth and prosperity. It didn't say when!
I love the new judges this time around...Jennifer Lopez actually has a heart and it really shows. I remember Paula Abdul turning a bit cold after awhile...it is sad. Steven Tyler is also a great addition! I wish I found bat in our basement...when I was little we used to catch the bats flying around our lights outside with fishing nets. They are so neat!!!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding?! A bat! Wow! That would really shake me up. I watched American Idol once and thought they were doing a good job, too.
