Might stop raining in time. :-)
Send it our way, we can use it!

I'll be sleeping thru the holiday soon's dinner is finished. I have to
work tonight. I need to clean the litter boxes then will go ahead and
deep fry those catfish nuggets I have thawed. Sides are steamed ginger
carrots and some steamed baby spinach with mushrooms sliced in half.

We are having to water the fence lines and raised gardens today. We NEED
rain dammit! Saves me $$$.

The rub sounds good. I know I have some dried mustard somewhere, I need
to play with it more.

You can have some of ours. We've had a very soggy holiday weekend (with
flood warnings). Supposed to clear up soon, though. Just in time for our
annual "Red, Hot, and Blue Festival" later on.

OB Food: leftover Mexican for lunch and grilled burgers with a nice big
salad for dinner. Cupcakes and strawberries for dessert.

Our sacrifice to the rain gods worked. :-)
We started the West fence drip hoses, and now it's raining nicely from
the sky... <lol>

I nuked some mushrooms and baby spinach to go with the fried catfish and
drained off the juice so I could add some butter. I put the juice into a
soup cup...... Oh if I could only make veggie stock that was that tasty!
I drank it for a "snack". ;-d
