MY MOTTO!

Hey, what is going on desert dwellers? How are you coping with the heat? Where is the rain?

I have been preparing things for today's Chef Day.  My Air Fryer Pork Chops wrapped in Bacon is in the fridge soaking up all of those seasonings.  It won't be long now before I don my Chefs Hat Apron.

I am resting up watching a few (horror) movies on Tubi. They are hilarious let me tell you.

We have a bit of a wind picking up here in Central Tucson, but no rain clouds are in the sky. WTF!

Well, I had better get back into the main house. We hope that your Sabato is going your way.  I hope that my (Mojo) keeps working today.

You know you want a bite or two, right? Smile!

We enjoyed a wonderful visit from our daughter Tangye yesterday evening. It was good to see her as always, and we got caught up on the latest in her life.

Tangye was hungry so she treated up to dinner at the "Outback". The food was good and so was the vino rosso that we got it down with. For dessert we enjoyed some "Walla B Darns" that were outstanding. Thank you Tangye for a great evening.

Well, I had better get this Sabato moving along. Have a good one and stay safe. I will have a chinwag at you later.

Today's challenge word is (cipolla). I woke up smelling (cipolla) in the air. Maybe it is from the seasoning that I put together for Pork Chops. What do you think fidanzata?
