got out of the 60s the last couple of days but today (now) it's 71.
We've had almost 3" of rain since Tuesday.
We seem to have been getting more than our usual rainfall as well.
But, as the old sage once said "Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get." As long as my (non-existet) basement doesn't flood ...
Our state fair is in October so we'll probably be hearing soon what the new food items will be. They usually feature some kind of fried
whatever; some might be worth trying but most aren't worth spending our money on. Our fair is held on the west side of Raleigh so we try to
avoid that paart of town during its run.
Just common sense. I didn't lose anything at our fair(s) and I'd
prefer to maintain that record. No matter what new and unhelathy deep-fried items my be on offer.
We've been on the fair grounds for other events during the year and
last year Steve worked the RARS (Raleigh Amateur Radio Society) booth a couple of days but didn't buy any food, deep fried or otherwise.

The fairground is used for many other things beyond the annual
wretched mess. The Illinois Department of Agriculture is headquartered there. As is the State Police radio lab and some Dept. of Conservation functions. And the buildings/exhibit halls areused forswap meets,
etc. Not to
mention the mile dirt track - said to be the best in America which is
used for horse, motorcycle, and car racing.

We've gone for RV shows, Raleigh Hamvention (Steve, not me) and a home improvement show but not the fair. A couple of years ago they flooded
the nearby football stadium and had a hockey game on the ice but we
didn't go to that.

The last time I actually attended a fair was in the 90s when out local county fair (which offers free grandstand shows in the evening) had
Three Dog Night on the bill. It was worth the hassle and I enjoyed
myself very much. Unlike my boss who attended with me and kept
complaining that the live performance sounded different from the
records they had made.

I learned the easy way to do it when Steve and I first got married. I
make the dressing, put it in a pan and put the pork chops over it, then bake. Saves a lot of frustration trying to get the chops cut and

Changes to television viewing came thick and fast in the 50s. My

Dad ran a wire, with their OK, from I guess, an antenna wire, that neighbors had run to get tv. We lived (barely) within village limits
but outside of town, proper (population of only about 800) and about 75 miles from Albany, same (as the crow flies, more to actually drive)
from Binghamton. Had the tv in time to see some of the Mercury space program and the JFK assasination & week end coverage. We'd just gotten home from church and Dad put the tv on again in time to see Jack Ruby shoot Oswald.
I've no idea what sort of set up my grandparents had but they got a lot more channels than we did. They lived in a NJ suburb of NYC so were
able to get tv much easier than our rural area.

Steak is pretty much out of my price range. Heck, hamburger (73% lean)
is on sale this week at only U$2.99/lb. And bottom round steak is U$5.99/lb. Just a few years ago ground chuck (80% leans) was 99c/lb
and top round (a much better cut of steak) was U$1.29.

Our GC shut down in 2020 and reopened as a ghost kitchen for several
take out only eateries. We looked in once, didn't see anything that
struck us as "buy me for supper!" so left and have never gone back. One thing I didn't always like about GC was having to search the buffet
lines for what you wanted to eat, and then it wasn't as good as when
food was ordered, then brought to the table. When I go out to eat, I usually would rather not have to hunt down my food; I pay to have it brought to me.

I know, I don't eat nearly as much as I used to, even 10 years ago. Usually with buffets, I'll get a small salad (easy on the greens), some sort of protein (maybe 2, depending on what they are), and some vegetables, then come back for a taste or two of dessert. At the last RV/radio rally in May, we went to an Amish buffet. I got a piece of strawberry/rhubarb pie to go, not that I didn't have room for it but I didn't want the extra carbs and calories as the last meal of the day.
No, but this one does look interesting as well.
It's on my short-list to convert from "archives" to "kitchen".
Made this yesterday and sent half to by brother's house. Ms Vicky was all-over the phone wanting the recipe. Bv)=
Next go I will add some steamed broccoli.
Title: Chicken-Pepper Alfredo
Categories: Pasta, Poultry, Vegetables, Mushrooms, Cheese
Yield: 4 servings
It does look good. We went to Costco after my doctor's appointment
today, had lunch before starting to shop. They have a new item out, an Italian calzone with basically the same meats as on their meat lover's pizza. One calzone is big enough for us to split--and be well fed. We'd tried it a few weeks ago and liked it, so got it again today. There was
a time I could have eaten a whole one but now, even half was pushing my limit--it was, however, quite good. (G)
any AYCE) as my appetite has shrunk with my increasing age. It's hard
to eat enoough to feel I've gotten my $$$ worth without causing major gastric distress.
I know, I don't eat nearly as much as I used to, even 10 years ago. Usually with buffets, I'll get a small salad (easy on the greens), some sort of protein (maybe 2, depending on what they are), and some vegetables, then come back for a taste or two of dessert. At the last RV/radio rally in May, we went to an Amish buffet. I got a piece of strawberry/rhubarb pie to go, not that I didn't have room for it but I didn't want the extra carbs and calories as the last meal of the day.
My favourtie Asian buffet is the lunch buffet at Flavour of India.
They don'thave abominations like strawberry-rhubarb pie (not my
favourite)
but they do have mango ice sream AYCE. I have to pull a gun on my self
to keep from doing stupid amounts.

I try to never go to the grocery store hungry. That certainly helps
keep mr from committing wretched excess. Bv)=

I'd probably take some of that. The pie is a treat for me; I grew up
with my dad growing a patch of rhubarb every spring and mom making pies from it. One summer I worked at a camp and during our training week or
so, somebody had donated some strawberry shubarb pies. I like both strawberries and rhubarb, both together and separatly--those pies were yummy!

That's why we ate lunch before doing any shopping. Lots of folks out
for pre Labor day shopping so there were a lot of "try it" stands scattered thruout the store. Of the different things we tried, we
brought home some strawberry granola and a triple pack (3 different
kinds) of Kind granola bars. We didn't try a lot of stuff as we were
full from lunch but those were something we might have bought without trying anyways.

That's why there are choice. I've eaten S/R pie and find it overly
sweet for my taste. I prefer my rhubarb (and gooseberries) slightly
tart. Not "puckery" but not tooth-achingly sweet either.

I avoided the Labor Day shoppers by ordering my groceries on-line and picking them up at Hy-Vee. With my "Perks+" membership I can do either pick-up or delvery if I order more than U$25 worth. And given today's
$$$ getting to U$25 is very easy. I only order staples this way. Non-packaged meat and fresh produce I select in person. Bv)=
