National Mac and Cheese Day. That’s funny – it was macaroni day just a week ago. I don’t think we need 2 macaroni days, even though the one a week ago didn’t say anything about the cheese.
National Tape Measure Day. Boy, they have a holiday for just about everything, don’t they?
National Grand Mariner Day. National Grand Marnier Day on July 14th recognizes a liquor that brings citrus notes to cocktails and desserts. Since the 1880s, we’ve been enjoying the fruits of Grand Marnier’s exquisite flavor. Alexander Marnier-Lapostolle invented the orange liquor in the 1880s. His grand experiment pairing fruit liquors with cognac took 10 years to find success. When it did, Lapostolle gave birth to one very expensive liquor. The cognac concoction blended one of the most costly fruits of the time with a very strong spirit, too. The result was truly grand. Not only does it add a splash of citrus when mixed into drinks and desserts, but Grand Marnier can be enjoyed neat. Grand Marnier is used in a long list of desserts including liquor cream buns, Yule log, cranberry sauce, Crepes Suzette, and Grand Marnier souffle creme bruleé. Grand Marnier is also used in the sauce of the roasted duck dish, Canard a l’Orange.Some examples of the mixed drinks including Grand Marnier are Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Sidecar, Dirty Harry, Grand Mimosa, B-52, the Grand Marnier Smash, Grand Smash, Smash Marnier, Bloody Smash, Maced Marnier, Ace Marnier Smash, Frosty Smash, Smace, Grand Hound, Blood Pug, Clarke, Nogley and the Grand Marnier Fireball.
At last. I’m up late and thought I’d see if the strip came in…yay!
More lightning tonite, with most of the storm headed to Queen’s house. She told me she already had lightning earlier. Desert storms are so spectacular.
We had the best thunderstorms last night. They kept going away and coming back with lots and lots of rain. The parking lot was a lake, and I was half expecting Noah to drop in.
He is as tough as our boy Chesney! Not good news at my eye appointment yesterday. I need surgery to remove a thickening around the retina in my right eye. It’s not so much the surgery that concerns me as the logistics of the 4 1/2 hour drive to Reno and finding the right care for my dogs and cats and keeping the garden watered while I am gone for a few days. I am hoping it can be delayed until the cooler weather in the fall.
I once tried to put on a live radio comedy play on a commercial radio station. Everything seemed to be going well until the sales department found out about it. They were very upset and warned me that I must not approach any of their current sponsors for support. However, they would not give me a list of current sponsors. Since I was writing, producing directing and co-starring, I didn’t have time for that kind of guessing game. In the end, it was a radio-play-on-stage that was seen in-person by about 20 people. That was my last attempt at radio production.
That dog has the right idea. None of those choices sound very good. On another note, saw four rabbits, a chipmunk, a towhee, two robins, a wren, and a damselfly while out walking today.
