……………….I was out doing errands the other day and happened to stop at a red light behind this bright red truck…..I was surprised to read “SUICIDE” printed on the right side! I have never seen this before….have you? I have to say it did catch my attention!….Have you ever seen a sign on a truck that startled you?????

“RAIN OUT”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…………………..There is a saying……….”MEN MAKE PLANS…….AND GOD LAUGHS”……………Well I had plans to go and see my first live POLO match, but it has been canceled due to rain…..It’s been raining since late afternoon on Saturday and it continues to rain now, Sunday morning…..I am sure the rain soaked field is much too dangerous for both the horses and their riders……I’m sorry to miss it and spend a day with my friends….but…..we need the rain BADLY!!!…It’s just too bad the rain didn’t come on Monday instead of Sunday….New plans…I have so many indoor projects that I’ve been procrastinating about…..it’s a good day to start them……Have a lovely day!

“LEMON PASTA”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………………….”LEMON PASTA”……..one of my favorite dishes to make is Lemon Pasta….it’s also a guest pleaser….The “sauce” is easy to make and very quick…….The zest and juice of two lemons [you can add more if you like it really lemony….even a few drops of lemon extract!], heavy cream, butter, olive oil, minced garlic [how much is up to you], salt, ground pepper [again how much is up to you…..Actually, the amount of butter, and cream is all up to you too….There is no science to this….Tasting will be the judge…..I use thick wide pasta….it holds the sauce better…..First cook the pasta and set aside in large bowl….next cook your garlic and oil [don’t burn the garlic!], then add you lemon and heavy cream….constantly stirring….add your salt and ground pepper….When it all starts to thicken it’s done!….Pour sauce over pasta and mix well…..Serve in pasta bowls…If you like you can add a garnish of thin slices of lemon to each dish…it’s pretty!….The final touch is pecorino Parmesean cheese that I serve in a separate bowl. Everyone can add how much they like…..A good COLD white wine goes marvelously with the pasta…..Bon Appetit!

…………………POLO…….”THE SPORT OF KINGS”…………..I am very excited to see my very first LIVE POLO match this Sunday at the Greenwich, CT. Polo Club……I’ve seen the game of polo played many times in movies and on TV, but I’ve never been to an actual game……….I’ll report back after the game with pictures on what I thought about being a spectator at a Polo match!……TGIF!
