I don't have a problem with flour but if you want to get into a cornbread
war we could add sliced jalapenos
Or make corn muffins or even
cornsticks. I have a nice cast iron cornstick pan!
Just got soaking wet on the patio and no, it wasn't a wet t-shirt contest!
I was filling the birdbath and the jug I keep handy to fill the bird bath;
the hose got away from me and decided to dance all around. Remember those
silly toys from the 1960's? What was it called, the Wiggle Worm? (or
something like that). Felt good to be doused by the cold water considering
it's in the 90's this afternoon. It's gonna be a *hot* summer.
