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

Oh poor MIndy. I think you'd better invest in a bullet proof vest!

Stay safe. (I think I'll pass on coming for the sandwich 'til all guns are out of site! LOL!)

Many hugs, Darby

Holy Toledo, Min!! Keep your head down and get yourself a kevlar vest!

I know what you mean about the corn, since what we're getting is super, too! Love going to the farm stands and getting things picked fresh just before it's sold. It tastes completely unlike what you get in the store.

As for what I cooked this week, I'll plead the Fifth!! LOL

Sorry Mindy, no butter in mine:( Think you're right, I must have been an Italian in a past life. My name could be Bernie Potroastia:) Would you believe Mac didn't like the whole wheat bread I made. Everything else he ate. Oh well, ya can't win them all. Happy cooking. Hugs, Bernie
