Oh man, we had some Blue Angels fly over us on their way out-of-town on the 4th and I was completely shaken by them. W., being W., of course looked at me cowering on the couch and said “Now, imagine you live in Baghdad and that happens all day long.” Frickin’ terrifying noise. I second the earplugs.

Rainey, squirrels are intelligent little devils aren’t they?

I have not tried the yolk ravioli. . . yet. It does look like heaven on the plate and hell for your arteries, but something that must be experienced!

I’m chuckling at the antics of the squirrel. My kids used to whine that a squirrel in our backyard pelted them with peach pits. I thought they were paranoid until they dragged me out to see that the *^&%$ ate all our fruit before they ripened and we could get them. Then this one sat on a platform formed where a pine trunk had forked, gotten diseased and been cut away and *aimed* the pit at them and hurled it!

So I believe you, babe! And I’m glad you had the remedy!

Don’t things with a sunny yellow egg yolk just look delicious? Have you tried ricotta and egg yolk ravioli yet? It looks so yummy to me and the thought of the released yolk gushing out to flavor browned butter and become it’s own sauce delights.

The salad looks like a good antidote though and will be trying it out soon. Comfort food, plus a bit of healthy food thrown in for good measure! Sure to balance out the evil days.

Wet coffee grounds I can only imagine. My best trick is the corn flour or something equally fine and guaranteed to turn to glue if you use a wet cloth……… and still getting it out of the gaps between floor boards weeks later…. lol

I’ll be bringing an umbrella next time to ward off any squirrel attacks.

The only Blue Angels I know is the one and she was Marlene Dietrich…dahlink. I don’t know what you did in a past life Erin, but whatever it was… don’t do it again!

Actually this sounds a great salad possibly even better for the red lettuce.
