gab today i made a delisious beef roast with onion au jus,potatoe salad and fresh wisconsin sweet corn.so sweet and juicy we wrapped a towel around our chin so that it wouldnt drip to our feet!

nothing new here in milwaukee,same old same old,oh yeah i forgot,we did have a shooting here tuesday evening.seems like a young couple who just moved here,well their friend was involved in a scrape with the latin kings and i dont mean the mombo group!! shots rang out,and i thought they were fireworks,mr.d-ick informed me that it was gunshots,i literally threw andrew,my grandson to the floor behind the sofa and preceded to go out on the porch,when one of the persons,ran past me.mr.d-ick then yelled for me to get back in. well to make a long story short,there were two spanish guys looking for the guy that ran past me,they were out to shoot him,instead they shot another friend and his dog.rite thru his leg,passing thru his testicles and the bullet lodged in his other leg.it was horrific,i tell you,the young man was crying for help,i asked him if he was shot,he said yes,i had aready called 911 and so did my neighbors.we were all actually afraid to go too near the house as we didnt know if the shooters were still there. within minutes there were police all over the place firetrucks and finally the ambulance came last.i guess the police have to secure the area before the emts come in.anyway all is quiet here,now,found out that someone was running a chop shop out of the garage.its a home that has an absentee landlord.usually this is a quiet neighborhood,but this really stirred things up. now who wants to come over and have a beef sandwich!!! love and hugs mindy p s

Now see there Mindy...that's why God didn't make Adam & Adam...they would shoot each other and then where would we be? Honestly, you have all the fun! But in this case you are welcome to it. I'll just stay bored and safe in my little mountain town.

So nice to see you sweetie. Yes, I'll have that RB sanwich...on whole wheat please with spicy brown mustard?? Thanks Min, you're the best! How about some home-grown tomatoes to go with that? I'll supply those since once again dh has outdone himself. We have tomatoes everywhere.

Lotsa-Hugs!

Mindy,

That is just plain scary. I remember back to the riots in Milwaukee. What an awful time for so many. The kids on the school bus mt brother rode actually stabbed the bus driver.

Remember Father Groppi? My mother lived almost next door to his church.

For now, I'll pass on the roast beef even tho it sounds yummy. Hope things calm down there and you can take your neighborhood back.

Hugs,

Rain

Does anything normal happen to you Isabella? Just another day in the life of Mindy....a shooting with you asking the victim if he was shot. Like the way you happen to toss that event in as though you were announcing what you were fixing for din-din. You're one crazy Italian!

Can not tell you how good that food taste. I had to wrap a towel around me just to read about that sweet corn! I WANT SOME AND I WANT SOME NOW! I've been on this diet too long to be rational anymore.

So, one lurker to another....good seeing you here! We should drop in more often! Hugs! Kay

Ah Mindy, I see we are still on the same cooking wave length:) I made a roast beef with defatted au jus, roasted potatoes, carrots, onions and mushrooms yesterday. Today I made pizza with a whole wheat rosemary crust and really good scamotze...the kind that comes balled in liquid and roasted peppers, crab cakes w/ spicy tomato dip, baked seasoned fries and home made low fat cole slaw.

Earlier in the week I made whole wheat cinnamon crepes and stuffed them with baked apples and walnuts. They must have been a hit b/c my ds called his friend to brag what he had for breakfast:)

I bought some blueberries and will make some jam, sorbet and freeze some. I love berries:)

Tomorrow I'm making grilled Portabella Mushrooms with fresh tomatoes, scamotze and onions on homemade whole wheat buns, a watermelon and blueberry salad with honey vinegarette dressing and low fat cheese cake for desert.

Sunday I'm making chicken breasts with a mulberry and wine sauce, wild rice and a tossed green salad.

Ya know what I think? I think we shouid get together and open a restaurant:)

Love ya, Bernie
Hugs, Bernie

Mindy! Yikes so much for that quiet neighbourhood, think I would be a shaking in my boots! Seems crime has hit all over even the quiet areas get it now!

Your meal sounds good wihs I had read this post before it coudl have helped make my min dup on what we are to have for dinner tonight. Lately I have had no desire to make dinner... and about as much to eat it. So tonight is Ummm blushing here but frozen pizzas. Not healthy and not even tasty I am sure but too hot to try to plan a meal and it was easy enough to throw in the old oven.

Good to see you come out of lurkville... So good to see some of you dropping in again!

Hugs Lor

Mindy,

Good to see you girl!! Now I'd like to request that you send a delicious roast beef sandwich to Tennessee because Milwaukee sounds just a bit TOO exciting for me! What were you doing outside with shooting going on??????? Oh my!!!!

After reading Bernie's post I do believe the two of you could run a world class restaurant!! YUM! We went out to dinner tonight...dh and I took my Mom and had Mexican. It was delicious and I am stuffed!

Many hugs!

Sooze
