Be Good Protest and Recipe Reviews

 

Hey, it's the Abominable Snowman at the local Be Good protest. Wait, that's Miss Merry with three layers, her insulated boots, new hat and freezing fingers and toes. Beside me is my portable speaker where I play 1960's protest songs.  

We didn't start planning until early in the week and were hoping for 20 and willing to settle for 10 with the 17 degree temperatures. FIFTY brave souls attended! 

I was at one end down by the frog with my speaker. My friend Kate who has the same speaker was at the opposite end playing 1990's music.  I know because people my age were gravitating toward me to sing along and I guess the younger people moved toward Kate. 

We started at the park across from the library and then moved up to the courthouse where there is an intersection of two highways. 

At the beginning. I was shocked so many attended. 

Photos screenshot from our local newspaper.  My speaker operates from my Spotify playlist on my phone and I am not smart enough to be able to play music and take pictures. 

Recipe Reviews:

If you see this reel about a quick and easy breakfast quiche in your air fryer, don't fall for it. 

You put a tortilla in a foil pie pan, mix eggs, cottage cheese, some peppers, I added sausage and top with cheese.  I baked it the allotted time and the eggs were raw. I believe I cooked it for the 3 times at the recommended time and temperature and then I gave up, cut it into wedges and put them the microwave with the raw middle toward the outside edge of the plate.  

It took almost an hour to cook two of the quiches. My husband's review "They didn't taste bad by the end".  

As I seem to be on a quiche kick, someone asked how the Hellmann's Mayonnaise quiches tasted.  

They were fabulous. Very light and creamy. They would be better with the recommended Swiss cheese but were delicious with the cheddar I had on hand. As good as I remembered them. My husband who ate them once a week the first year we were married (I had a limited repertoire) had no memory of ever eating them before but was crazy about them.  

We took the ten year challenge. Since we had our anniversary pictures taken in 2016, it's that time again!  

For our 40th Anniversary we traveled to Kentucky to see Miss Loretta Lynn, a long time dream of mine. We stayed in a little motel and ate at a home-cooking diner on a mountain. 

For the Big 50, we are going all out. World travelers that we are, we are going 78 miles to a concert I don't want to mention yet since I am hoping to snag really really really good (expensive) seats when they go on early sale this week.  I checked hotels and the very nicest one that isn't a Hilton (because I am boycotting Hilton) had limited rooms already so we went ahead and booked four nights.  We are going to have a wild time leading up to the concert visiting a few museums, doing a driving tour through a national park (not sure if I mentioned this is the end of July and hot. The car is air-conditioned). I am making a list of antique stores and thrift stores and restaurants.  We are very excited. And I have my fingers crossed on the tickets. I joined several groups that promise early release of tickets and I have alarms set on my phone.  

I'll keep you posted!
