The fires, Glass and August are not contained yet. They are still burning inside the containment too

Notice that the August fire is over a million acres

Morning Ron. That's too many big fires at once!

Hey all! I've been dealing with a sick girl and now I need to get caught up on my chores...after I read through everything here! She's already doing a little better, but I will be keeping her in her for the next several days! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

It’s pretty nice out there in the mornings these days but the afternoons are still a bit warm. I’m doing housework today, mopping up he house and cleaning my bathroom. Going to make lefse which is a Norwegian flatbread made from potatoes, thin like a tortilla but moist. It’s a tradition from my fathers family to have during the holidays and I haven’t made it in years so I need some practice! Going to try flattening them with my tortilla press instead of rolling, the boys should have fun with that! Aiden gets to make gravy from scratch and I’ll make the Kjottkaker. We might make some brownies with the Dutch cocoa and espresso powder too.

My son-in-law makes Lefse....yummy!

Kjottkaker is meatballs. No eggs or breadcrumbs, just hamburger, milk, a few spices, some cornstarch and flour traditionally. A lot of people eat lefse with butter and sugar but we always had it with meatballs and gravy.

They sound yummy I might have to try them, so we can have something different.

A busy day for you IM...enjoy!



Publix!!!!!! My most favorite grocery store (one I actually didn't mind going to). That's one thing I miss from the East, there aren't any out here.



Thanks for the explanation...the meatballs sound delisherous

We just went to Publix it would have been great if not for the rain. Its one of the few places we can find marzipan for Bob, its a favorite since living in Germany.

The fires are crazy this year or so it seems. How is your air quality today?

Hi Sue, where did you two live in Germany?

I was able to visit Munich for a couple weeks once and it was wonderful!

Thanks again Debby!

We were in the Eifel, Bitburg and Spagdahlem. We also spent a lot of time after retirement in Ider Oberstien. Munich was wonderful. We've been all over the country, but gravitate to the north west.

I'd love to go back some day. DH was actually born in Germany but doesn't remember it because he was a baby when his parents were sent back to the States (his dad was military).
