First off I had to do some more weeding in the herb garden. It's actually looking pretty good. It could use about 3 more days of constant work but it looks a heck of a lot better than it did!! After about 3 hours of weeding I dashed for the shower, dressed and lit out for the store. My brother and his wife are coming for a visit and I had a few things I needed, no that's not true, things I "wanted" for their meals while they were here. I'm wanting them to try my Caribbean Pork with Mango Salsa and mangoes were needed. Hubby had requested I also pick up some vanilla ice cream, some root beer, red pop, orange crush and grape soda for "cows"!! I've talked about cows on here before. Come on now, you know what cows are, right? They're really just ice cream sodas but my Dad used to make them for us when we were little and we would call them black cows, purple cows, red, orange. You get it. Cows are great on hot summer days! While I was in I grabbed a bag of sugar and a couple other items and was ready to head out the door and there came a rainstorm to end all rainstorms. I stood there lamenting, in my head, how I was not going to be able to get into the garden yet another day and when the rain finally let up a little I made a mad dash to the car, loaded it up and got in the car drenched through and through. I carefully drove home because the thunderstorm did not let up and carried the groceries into the house and changed clothes. After that, it was back to laundry.
Right now I have a beautiful cheesecake in the oven. It is going to taste scrumptious. I also bought some good mozzarella while I was at the store, cut it up and am now marinating it with Italian Seasoning, hot pepper flakes, a little salt and olive oil. By tomorrow it will be one of those dishes to "die for". I'm serving crusty Italian Bread to go with the pork dish and it will also be perfect to eat with the cheese and mop up that wonderful olive oil Ooooooh, I'm nearly drooling already.
