I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

That view is lovely Barbara.

72, Alison!  Why can't we have that here!  The heat ratio was 116 last I heard.  Can't breath!  Looking outside at the poor birds at my feeder, and they all have their little beaks open gasping for air.  I keep water out for them, but its just so hot! 

Barbara, I am so envious!

I am ready for my margarita, and the salt and vinegar chips!

Sign me up for a Margarita.

Wow, you guys, I am melting in sympathy. Ours is only 101. Blue, as I said before, the guest suite is open for reservations.

meant to ask - what was/is rosemary's chicken recipe?  that's about the only meat I eat. Chicken is meat, isn't it?

Barbara - oh, what a view - fabulous - do you sail?

CS, I prefer getting from point A to point B in a reasonable amount of time. So on vacation, yes, in real life, no. I have friends with boats so it works out well.  Here are a couple friend's boats.

This is Vivan's boat Vivalicious decked out for our wedding. We had 10 people come on boats.

This is Les' boat Seein' Double (he has twin 13 YO boys identicle) in the boat parade.

Oh, I want to live by the water...

Athena, I am in Northern VA and we didn't even go to the pool today due to my child and her asthma.  Hopefully we can go later this week.

Barbara, Oh the Christmas parade must be something to see. We have a Christmas Parade on the bay here in Punta Gorda too. I love going down to it. Do you get to see the fireworks on the 4th? Those are 2 of my favorite things to do here.

Bren -- Just to add a little info about weather in NOTL:  Temps can range from 75 to 95 during the summer months, and often well into October.  Sometimes the humidity is pretty bad but I've never had my sunglasses fog up!  All depends what sort of weather system shows up, but usually it's quite comfy and pleasant.

Gee, Barbara, I'd love to play on that "gold" course!  (Typo, yes?) ETA -- darn, you changed it!

Bar's open, folks!  Cheers! 

Barbara, If I remember right there are a couple of other memebers around the boards from Florida as well. Wouldn't it nice if a bunch of us could meet up your way?

Rosemary

AMAZING.  That's how I make my chicken thighs (boned, skinned from Costo) in packs that are easy to freeze.  Slight variation, I don't brown them, and I use LOTS of fresh ginger, lemon grass, sometimes Star Anise,  dried hot peppers, and fresh chives from my garden.  I then have it for, well, as long as it lasts, over brown rice, or Quinoa.  It's my staple meal.  Don't like white meat chicken, don't think it has any taste.  But the thighs are soft & fall apart cooked the way we do.  I use apple cider vinegar &water.

Small world ;-))))

I do not bone or skin the thighs. I have never used just balsamic, it seemed like the flavor would be too strong so I do not know if it would be too thick. I usually use cider vinegar but DH  got white because I just put vinegar on the list.

On a related note-my oven is fixed. It needed 2 parts instead of one so it cost a bit more that we thought it would but it is fixed.

Barbara

I cut the balsmic with cider vinegar or white vinegar
