The strong winds have been keeping the windmill busy and the little pond full....
Some of the water hits the tank as the wind whips it around....
For some reason I was really hungry that day. I think leaning into the strong wind all afternoon wore me out.
I came home, put a few potatoes on the stove to boil and then chickenfried a piece of round steak. I smooshed the tatoes and made some skillet gravy with the pan drippings...
I thought about making a veggie side dish or a salad, but knew I would be too full to eat them.
:)
So I settled for meat-n-tatoes.
It actually tasted pretty good. I need to cook on the stove more often. :)

Nice picture of some hay-burners. There's just something about wind that I don't like. It cuts through you. I can work in the rain, cold, snow, heat, but the wind just makes me grumpy.
Now that's down home comfort food right there jeanie. I think it's funny you didn't have time for the greens. ;-) Nice post. I wish I could figure out how to make country gravy from drippings. My mom can do it in her sleep, my sister has the gift, but me.....loser-ville. Mmmmm, mmmm.
Being outside makes me hungry too. Of course, reading your blog has the same affect!
Thanks Joe! :)
I agree about the wind.. it just wears a person down. Somedays I think it would blow me away if I didn't keep heavy things in my pockets. lol
I knew I couldn't eat any greens if was going to eat that steak and tatoes... and they looked sooo good I couldn't think of anything else anyway. lol
Hope your Mom or Sis show you how to make that gravy! :)
Thanks again Joe, good to see ya!
hahaaa Mrs JP... Thanks! :)
They have tried over and over. I even wrote down a scientific recipe about how to make a rue; still can't get it right. It's magic I say! Magic!
When you've got chicken fried steak, taters and gravy, you don't want that other stuff taking up valuable stomach room.
That looks great Jeanie. I am in Asia right now for work craving 1 American style meal. That steak would be #1 on my list. And really, who needs veggies with that? ;)
lol Joe! :)
Larry I like the way you think! Thanks! :)
Bill I bet the food there is wonderful.
You must have a very interesting job! Hope you have a safe trip...
Thanks Bill!

Poetcomic they're a pain sometimes. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
I hear 'ya! Never waste calories on veggies when you can have gravy instead. Plus, wind is very tiring and you have to take care of yourself :)
