Summer Bliss

There are only a handful of things that make the heat and misery of summer worth enduring. One of those things is the quiet of summer school on campus (I can cross a street and not get creamed AND don't have to wait in line for 30 minutes at Starbucks.) and another is garden fresh tomatoes. And really, there's only two things that make garden fresh tomatoes so special. One of them is called a BLT (I need to buy some bacon, dag-gummit!) and the other is biscuit and tomato for breakfast.

Don't say yuck. It's like...I don't know how to even describe it. It's simply summer on a plate.

Start by baking a perty biscuit.  I haven't yet mastered the art of making biscuits so I used the frozen and bagged kind from Wal-Mart. But fresh homemade is best.


 Cut the biscuit in half.


Slather both sides generously with mayonnaise. (It's not gross, I swear!)


Slice a tomato and plop one of those slices on one half of the biscuit. Don't  be wimpy with the size of your slices, either. Make it thick and beefy. You really wanna TASTE that tomato, ya'll.

Sprinkle lightly with a bit of salt, if you like salted tomatoes. I do. But just a tad will do it.


Plop the other half of your mayonnaise slathered biscuit on top of the tomato for a lovely breakfast sandwich...



And dig in!

YUM!

I only had two biscuits left in the freezer so I ate one today and will have another tomorrow but dag-gum them's some good eats! Thank God (and Daddy's BFF) for garden fresh tomatoes all summer long!

Yuck. Sorry, you can keep your tomatoes. I'm waiting for the green beans, broccoli and zucchini.

Awe, not a tomato lover? Bummer. Sis2 can't stand 'em either. I love 'em, though.

Nope, they're too acidic--my mouth doesn't like them. Add a bit of sugar, though and I'll eat them in the form of ketchup, spaghetti sauce and tomato soup.

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
