Hey, Albert.

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears*

Another recipe that I enjoy https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/blueberry-boy-bait/ It sure lives up to its name. I usually have to make two batches, or I'd never get a bite in, edgewise, before Mickey and his friends make it disappear.

Here's a recipe that I've enjoyed on a number of occasions. It's more of a breakfast cake than a "cake" cake. The story behind its origins is pretty funny. It certainly lives up to its name, because my young brother-in-law and his friends can't stay away from the stuff, lol. https://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/blueberry-boy-bait/

I've tried that before. It never tastes as fresh as it does on the day it was bought.

Until you figure out a way to keep those rustic loaves from going stale, I'm sticking with the factory-made bread.

It's what I bought at the store. It tastes just as good, and it won't spoil as fast as a bakery loaf.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich Ingredients: 8 slices of White or Sourdough bread* 1 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, freshly grated 1 cup Havarti Cheese with Dill, freshly grated Honey Mustard Sauce (recipe follows) 3 Tbsp Butter or Margarine *A split-top or Pullman loaf works best for this recipe. Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 450 F/ 232 C/ Gas Mark 8 2. Spread 1 tsp of butter or margarine evenly over one side of each bread slice. 3. Toss Cheddar and Havarti cheese together in a bowl.

Place bread on top of the cheese mixture, mustard-side down. 5. Transfer assembled sandwiches to a baking sheet. Bake sandwiches in the oven for 5-6 minutes. Using a spatula, turn sandwiches over to the other side. Bake for 5-6 minutes more. 6. Let cool for several minutes. Serve and Enjoy!

Hey, Gary.

Sorry to hear that, Dugh. That's a dubious pleasure, to be sure. Incidentally, I can't remember if I got my b-day prezzie or not. You've been very busy, though, so no hard feelings.

The dessert was blood pudding? You know that's a variety of sausage, right?

Traverse City was home to the Northern Michigan State Asylum in the 1880's. It was finally abandoned in 1989, but they've been fixing it up in the last ten years or so.

Someone really likes their cider.

Hey, Albert. How are you and Steve? I made something like that before. It was delicious.

Hey, Ali! Hey, Caz. They said hello. And yes, he was. Hey, Val. Made some balsamic roasted beet chips. Not bad. Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle on his belly* The sun is shining brightly, but the temp is 59 F/15 C, with 13 mph winds. Bought a dozen pumpkin donuts at the farmer's market. Apples, Brussels sprouts, beets, and butternut squash were also purchased.

Mickey, Remy, and Rory are all snuggled on the sofa. We're watching a movie called White Frog. Mickey and Remy wanted to see a movie featuring Boo Boo Stewart.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids*

We're having grilled cheese sandwiches. Cheddar and Havarti on sourdough. Cottage fries on the side.

Not at all. Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears* I feel the same way. Hey, Albert.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids*

Well behaved? Hardly. Pretty sure I saw that overinflated emoji in a porn film once. Hey, Tea Bat. I find the sound of thunder relaxing. Hey, Gary. We had a t-storm last night. Today was 60 F/15.5 C, with a chill in the wind that left me shivering on my way to work. I confess I was left unprepared, due to the bright, sunny skies above. Hey, Clo. Hey, Marty.

At which part?

Poor kiddo. Sending. and healing thoughts. Hey, Buckie. Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears* Hey, Gary. Hey, Albert. @Drew Espinosa Hey, buddy. Miss you.

Looks tasty, Molly.
