This time of the year we always hear a lot of

ducks quacking and splashing in the

seasonal creek below our home.

This past weekend our little neighborhood

had 5 baby ducks wandering around

and peeping for their mother. They were far

away from the creek and we managed to

catch 4 of the 5 babies. We called several

places such as Audubon Society and Humane Society

but because it was the weekend we could not

get any help. So we took the babies down to

the creek hoping the mother duck might

hear them. No sign of a mother duck so

we reluctantly released the babies and

we hope they got reunited. Very sad.

I posted our event on our Nextdoor website

and we heard back hours later from

a person who could have taken them and

raised them safely. I wish he had notified us earlier.

But now I have his information so we can

get immediate help if this ever happens again.

We have had an amazing snow fest

here in the Pacific Northwest!

The Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington area hasn’t seen this much snow all at once in 80 years. “This is a big deal,” said Tonja Fransen, a meteorologist at the local National Weather Service office. Portland International Airport recorded 10.8 inches Wednesday, beating out the 9.3 inches that fell on a January day in 1956. Since snowfall record-keeping at the airport began in 1939, the greatest snow accumulation over a day was 14.4 inches in 1943.

Needless to say I have been feeding the birds and squirrels plus the occasional rabbit with sunflower seeds and shelled peanuts! We can watch them from our dining room windows - as does Lucy our cat! It's a live nature show for all of us!

First off I would like to wish

all of you a Very Happy New Year!

We had a lovely holiday time with

friends, family and our great neighbors!

However- we had so much fun that we need

to cut back on our calories and get back

to the health club!

Hence the Caprese salad photo!

Fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, a bit of olive oil,

squeezed lemon and ground pepper! YUM!

Have a delicious week!

Thanks Sandee for all that you do!

My computer was in the Geek's workshop most of last week. Nothing serious, just time to be fluffed and buffed! While I patiently waited I kept busy by cooking meals I had not made for quite awhile. To say the least Russell was smiling.

Here are the ingredients shown for the Kofta Kebabs.

And here's the list of ingredients:

4 garlic cloves minced, 1tsp kosher salt,

1# ground lamb, 3Tbl minced onion, 3Tbl fresh chopped Italian parsley. 1Tbl coriander, 1tsp cumin, 1/2 Tbl cinnamon,

1/2 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

( all spices are ground )

Mash garlic into a paste with the salt, mix into the lamb along with the onion, parsley and all the spices.

I start out using a fork, but always end up using my hands.

Form into 28 balls. ( I make my meatballs a bit bigger and usually end up making about 18. ) Flatten into a 2"oval- put on the baking sheet and cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours. Because I make the balls bigger I just flatten them a bit.
