Apricot Bars, Lucy

Current COVID related deaths: 656,393


COVID deaths yesterday: 654,696


Philip Valentine, conservative radio host and vaccine skeptic in Nashville, recently died of COVID-19.


California church member Stephen Harmon scoffed at trusting Dr. Anthony Fauci over the Bible...he died of COVID-19.


Las Vegas dad Michael Freedy declined the vaccine because he was scared of side effects. He died of COVID-19.


Texas GOP official H. Scott Apley posted a meme mocking the virus. He died of COVID-19.


West Palm Beach radio host Dick Farrel claimed COVID-19 was overblown...he died of COVID-19.


Do you think the families of these people have changed their minds and gotten vaccinated?


***************************************

Michael was up and out before 8 AM on Monday (8/30) for golf here at SCCL. And I made the second iteration of the newest cookie bars….apricot:


I meant to add cinnamon...but it wasn't written down, so of course I forgot...and Paula thought almonds would go nicely...and I agreed....but at 8 AM was too lazy to go and find them in the outside freezer....they were yummy anyway....but guess I'll just have to make them again :~).


After that I headed to the studio to get my customer quilt cleaned up and off of the frame. I got that done and started to sew on my latest rainbow cutout. It was such a pleasure to just sit and sew…~sigh~. With my faithful companion Lucy:






Sandy came by to pick up her quilt and we got to visit for a bit; that was really nice as we don’t really get to talk much at Scrap Happy. I continued to sew in the afternoon until Linda stopped by to pick up and drop off quilts.


My honey was home just before 3 PM, with a score of 85, and the excitement of having won (his team won…he got 7 bucks :~).


I made one-pot-pasta for dinner:


-8 ounces of pasta


-a mess of tomatoes from Loree & Reg's garden


-one thinly sliced onion


-pesto....or a bunch of garlic and basil and 2 tbsp olive oil


Add 2-2/3 cups water...bring to a boil, continue to simmer until pasta has absorbed all of the water


-serve with ribbons of parmesan


It was YUMMY!! We are still watching some season or other not previously seen of THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW and we will both be sorry when this comes to an end.


I saw an ad for GUILT, coming up on Masterpiece Mystery beginning September 5th…PBS. I’ve never been disappointed by MM….and this certainly looks like one to DVR/watch!


*** MMR – Micihael’s Movie Reviews ***

PROTOGE - starring Samuel Jackson, Michael Keaton and new comer Maggie Q. I tried to summarize this plot but it is very difficult. Everyone in this movie is a bad guy!! Sam Jackson and Maggie Q are paid assassins at the start - Jackson has reformed (a bit) and wants to make amends for killing someone's father so he locates a long lost son (why he is lost is a spoiler) but because Jackson is doing a good deed, everyone connected to the lost son's father wants to kill Jackson! So Jackson and Maggie Q have to team up to stay alive and kill all the people after them- including Michael Keaton! Much shooting, fighting and traveling all around the world (great scenery) ensues as you the viewer try to figure out who finally will survive until the end of the movie. I found it difficult to care -- but it was exciting to watch all the mayhem! I give it 3 fat quarters out of 5.

Stayed in my pajamas, ordered a pizza, drank wine, took a nap, went on Facebook, ate some chocolate, ordered some new shoes, played with my dog…

Now I wait. ***
