Abby only got 2 short walks today. Our little stroll around the block this morning amounted to no fewer than 9 bites on my legs. And that's with me swatting and flailing. The second walk was no better. I look like I have measles and I'm scratching like a friggin lunatic. ARRGHH. I'm not sure I've ever seen them this bad.
So I decided to hide out today and I'm glad I did. I tried a new breakfast casserole this morning. You put it together the night before and bake it in the morning. Not bad, a good idea of you are having a brunch or something

Since I was on a roll i threw a brown sugar/maple pork tenderloin in the slow cooker for supper, hung the laundry on the line and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom floors. I also got another basket of peaches so I tried a peach crisp

It would have been good with a little vanilla ice cream melting on top. But it was still tasty on its own. Now, I wonder what kind of domestic mayhem I can get into tomorrow?
ummmm, does Abby know there is not a single picture of her in this post?
ReplyDeleteI recently bought a mosquito bracelet called "Mosquitno" Was $3.99 at my local drugstore in USA. It really works even kept the flies at bay during a out door picnic.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks so yummy!! If you want to stop by my house and whip up some dessert, I would be ever so grateful! Of course, California is a bit far...but we can work on that later. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a really nice patio, but the mosquitoes have moved into my clay pots and swarm every time I water my flowers. Sigh...I'm staying in the house, too.
Well it sounds like a good day, when there is food around to eat.
ReplyDeleteWe have had tons of mosquitoes too. I have never been bit this much in a long time. I hope you have a lovely day.
We have them mosquitoes here too but I spray Deep Wood on myself and they mostly leave me alone and I shower when I get it. I'm outdoors so much and wouldn't be able to stay there very long without some type of bug repellent. I usually wear a light color top with long sleeves , long pants and a sun hat on my head and do a lot of sweating...
ReplyDeleteI would love some Peach Crisp please. It looks yummy.
Hugs,

Mosquitoes have been terrible this year. I found Deep Woods Off in the camping section at Walmart in the dry spray and it doesn't leave that oily residue. Food looks fabulous - I want peaches now. Now.
ReplyDeleteoh your food looks wonderful I guess I just haven't seen that many mosquitoes this year. Of course I have set up camp on the porch and don't move much from my spot. Love the cooking we are in the heat not my favorite thing so I am more slow than usual.

We haven't had as many mosquitoes this summer...not sure why.I've made lots of stuff with peaches this year.
ReplyDeleteHowdy, now where IS that sweet Abby? :) We haven't had lots of mosquitoes this year. Last year was insane with them. You reminded me of my "experience". I was in Florence, Italy in the summer of '83. Oh my goodness!! They were everywhere. Too hot to sleep with covers even just a sheet but we had to. We had a bug zapping thing on all the time. Every so often you could here a little noise of a mosquito getting fried. Yuck. One day I counted 14 bite on one leg. Just one leg! And more everywhere else. I am surprised I lived.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks yummy :)
Have a great rest of today and a wonderful week.
Take care, Janet W
With all the rain this year we've had our fair share of those nasty critters! Now that we're having a dry spell it's a bit better. I get attached too. Can we help it if we're just too sweet?
