Coffee anyone ?

[Bruce]

Thanks for coffee.
36 degrees this morning. Possible frost tonight.

Freeze is pretty well guaranteed here.

Yup...you're waaaaayyyy up there.
Usually when they say "frost warning", they meant it for the Adirondacks but we normally do get it because we're on a higher elevation than the nearby towns.

I'm not ready for those temps! Even some words make me shudder -- freeze, snow, zero ! No, please, NO!

Good morning, almost finished with coffee, I have zucchini bread, y'all help yourselves. More rain. @Mini Horses that is central Texas where it is flooding. The soil is limestone based with scrub oaks, rocky, hilly, and beautiful clear creeks and rivers. It is subject to flash floods and dumb people build in low places. On the news it was said that it is the highest water in 83 years. If it flooded 83 years ago, ya' think it might do that again? It is beautiful country with gorgeous views, but put your home on high ground.

 

[Mini Horses]

Yep -- like the beaches here. You see it eroding, so WHY build there? I mean, that Ocean has been doing this a long, long time and won't stop now.

Just visit and take pics. Don't build.

And dumb people build in the areas where the water needs to go to get out to the ocean.

When me moved to Galveston my mom specifically chose to buy an old house... one that had survived the hurricane of 1900.

She thought if it had survived that, it should see us through anything.

It did too. Sat out many a hurricane in that house.

@Mini Horses i was raised calling goat meat cabrito. My grandmother would put cabrito on to BBQ and it was good. Now it’s called chevon, no idea where that comes from, probably French. Cabrito is Spanish. You sure can’t call it kid, people would call you a child eating witch and burn you at the stake.

You can rightfully blame political correctness for the change from cabrito to chevon. All the kewl kids always seem to find some new way to describe food in a more 'sophisticated' manner and about a decade and 1/2 ago, the big West Coast restaurateurs began using French terms for Spanish food items and it soon caught on in NYC.
It doesn't take a genius to see when the change took place...about the same time all the rest of the PC cutesy, hugs, rainbow fartin unicorns, and rear end kissing double talk began.

Anyway, Chevon became the newest buzzword for those trying to impress others, even tho chevon is any goat meat and (at least in most of Texas outside Austin) cabrito is reserved for goat kids (if it's on grass, it isn't cabrito) ...but evidently according to the progressives, it's still chevon, which is just about any goat meat, kids thru old age culls.

I have had some good bbq baby goat and even in french speaking South Louisiana, the Cajuns still call it cabrito.

Spanish is great....

French though... can't pronounce their words to save my life! All kinds of letters that you aren't supposed to say...

By the way.... I have no trouble at all saying "baby goat "
