Raccoons!

There's lovely little flowers blooming in the birdfeed hill area. Need to go check those out. But feeling under the weather today.

Saw a pair of baby coons wanderingin the cut grass side along the easement drive today. They were cute as hell, just picking in the grass for I dunno what. The camera on the phone not good enough... gotta find the charger for the camera. Thought what I heard last night was coons squabbling. With some listening on the web to the scrapping sounds I heard late last night and seeing a pair of juveniles in the yard today confirmed it.

Food- a couple of quart bags of tomato meat sauce from the freezer, a can of chick peas, a couple cups of frozen spinach. A cup and a half or so of dry pasta. T or two of fat. I tend to do about 1-2 1/2 cups of sauce stuff per quart bag.
Bring chick peas to a boil in salted water- boil for 5 min or so.
bring down heat and not quite simmer for 10 min
bring back to boil, add pasta. Cook pasta till al dente.
Drain beans and pasta.
Add fat to boiling kettle. After it melts, add spinach.

While this is going on, defrost bags of sauce in the nuker or under hot water till the contents melt enough to put into the pan. Or if using canned, pop the lid and set it aside.

Completely heat the spinach in the fat. Add in the sauce, and heat totally again. Toss sauce well with chick peas and pasta.


MMMM, I got a couple big feed dishes coming up.. Gonna have to plan and post about it.
