Laurie and Gary are supposed to come for supper. Haven't heard from them so i guess they still are. Am putting things together a little at a time and then sitting down to rest my back. really all that needs to be done now is turn on the oven, boil the pasta later and toss the dressing in with the salad.

Supposedly there is a hurricane heading our way though it's a very low grade one and should change to tropical storm once it hits land. They're saying it's headed right at Halifax or the county. We shall see. Quite often when they forecast doom and gloom, it turns out to be a bit windy and rainy and that's it. No doubt we will get some sideways rain but portents of floods and pestilence will probably have to wait.

Hurricane Watch: winds picked up a few hours ago, still no rain.

Laurie and Gary watch: been and gone now. Meal all turned out great, caesar dressing nice and garlicky (home made dressing recipe from Norma at work). They're off to fill her leaky tire and head back to hers to de-cat-fur the bedroom (Gary's allergic). Thanks again Sis for doing the dishes (didn't think my back would like standing and leaning over the sink for that long)

Caesar Salad Dressing

Norma's recipe, all "to taste"

half a block of cream cheese (or that small block you can buy, i think it's 125 g.)
one egg
olive oil
lemon juice
crushed garlic
dash or two of worchestershire sauce

toss it all in a blender and whir until liquified. You'll have to judge accordingly how thick or thin you want it. I hand squeezed both halves of a lemon but didn't really drain it. I put about 1/4 cup of olive oil and crushed three cloves of fresh garlic. I put the dressing in the fridge for an hour or two and it thickens up and then tossed the salad. Made enough salad for a side for four people or lots for three. Salad was just the romaine, croutons and real bacon bits. Can shake Parmesan over it.

I made chicken parmesan for our meal with spaghetti tossed in the tomato parmesan sauce that i cooked the chicken in.

Strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert and cheese and crackers with our tea.

I'm full.
