There was no doubt the beans were ground on demand

I love a sardine’s with parsley, chives, shallots. Braggs vinegar or just lemon, Greek olive oil, sea salt and lots of cracked pepper.
oh I can't do sardines but my girl gives her Minni Aussie a sardine twice a week with her food and green beans.
 
Patio almost ready.

Unbelievable :thinking-face: :astonished-face:
Wow nice views
 
Finally get to sit down to dinner after cooking for everyone.
This diet is very boring so just 2 pork chops, a sausage, Dijon mustard and pellegrino.
I'm telling myself it's not forever so I'm eating now for tacos later. ;)
wait ...wait...stop the bus.....where is your broccoli (like cooked on a grill or in a pan seared with lemon pepper) or some sort of green veggies. You need fiber ,,,
 
Solar storm possible this weekend. Means possible Aurora tonight or Saturday night. Flights are being diverted due to expected high radiation emissions over the north pole. Possible interruption in power transmission lines and charged pipelines expected in some areas.

Otherwise enjoy your weekend!
