No clue to the other dishes yet...

2. Parmesan baked pork chops; macaroni salad (homemade);

sliced tomatoes from the garden!

3. Deli fried chicken

which I'll just warm up in the oven, with habanero sauce. I just made a red cabbage slaw to go with it. Not sure of anything else yet.

(I went to the grocery store to pick up a couple of items, and the fried chicken was an impulse buy. Damn you deli counter!!)

6. deli fried chicken here, too!

We are having a hot spell through the weekend. In the 90s. So deli fried chicken it is! Safeway has eight pieces of legs and thighs for $5 today -- I like the seasoning, and the bark is excellent.

With it, sweet corn, cucumber salad, and a big fruit plate.

Good weekend coming up with my beloved Ducks football Saturday, and our MLS Timbers Sunday.

What's going on down there? How's your weather?

7. Yep, it was $5 here too

at Vons (Safeway/Vons/Pavilions - same thing). I think that was what caught my eye. And since I dig the dark meat, it was like the Pipe Piper calling.

Still hot here in the high desert of SoCal - close to 100F. Oddly, I'm looking forward to having Hurricane Norbert come north and give us some (chance of) rain a few days from now. Man, do we need it!

8. My sister is in Temecula to attend a wedding.

Before leaving, she kept telling me that despite being, say 99, it would only feel like about 95 since there's no humidity. I didn't think there would be much difference. Hot is hot. The wedding is in San Diego so I imagine it'll be more comfortable there.

10. Well, yes - hot is hot, Aunty

But I'd rather have the dry heat than the crap that comes north from Arizona during their monsoon season (July-August). Humidity sucks, which is why I moved out west from Rhode Island in the first place. Those 90+/90+ days during the summer used to be brutal. (90+ humidity, 90+ temp).

I wanna be a weatherman in San Diego, it would be my dream job. "Well, for the next 6 months, it will be temps in the mid to high 70s, lows in the 50s, with humidity at 50%. Check in with me again, Galileo, in 6 months for your next acuweather forecast! Until then, I'll be in Baja!"

11. LOL, that's pretty much what I thought.

Maybe the weatherman gig will be your next career.

4. Grilled something or another. Maybe salmon.

5. I'm making a sausage pizza.

Sliced tomato on the side.

9. this is the "great minds" thread

I did the same thing others on this thread did--picked up something from the grocery that would be easy.

In this case, pork ribs that were already marinating in BBQ sauce. They are just finishing up on the grill now.

I am also doing peppers on the grill.

12. We're truly grateful

that Colorado has had a rainy summer for the first time in a while and no wildfires. The reservoirs are full and the gardens are great. Best corn, tomatoes and peaches I think we've ever had and I'm feasting daily. Hope the rain from Norbert will come into CA and bring back some of the delicious produce you usually send around the country.
