S is very kind to share them with us.<br /><br />I hope you are able to get an electric fan, Jules. I have ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and family room, but, the stand fans (there are 3 of them) are useful, too, and often supplement the ceiling fans!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-24463923024162221322021-07-23T17:46:49.706-07:002021-07-23T17:46:49.706-07:00I hope you are able to treat yourself to some Napo...I hope you are able to treat yourself to some Napoleons one day soon, Bushlady.

From the description it sounds like a mille-feuille/vanilla slice type of pastry, so I am now envious as I love those! Swapping the zucchini for ice cream cake and pastries sounds like a win for you. <br /><br />You were very young when your father died. I lost my Dad when I was 18 and have always been aware that he didn't know me as an adult or the person I have become. <br /><br />I've watched some of the Opening Ceremony, but was a bit bored to be honest, so gave up. <br /><br />Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-7341398178702856032021-07-23T06:52:43.891-07:002021-07-23T06:52:43.891-07:00Sounds like a good day Bless.

I wanted to jazz it up so I added a good amount of a Cajun spice I've had for years that I must've bought for a particular recipe and never used again. <br /> I used quite a bit and it gave it a nice spicy flavor. <br />At the end I added cubed potatoes and shrimp and cooked them in the soup broth and it turned out delicious.<br />Leftovers for tonight.
