Delaware Blue, Tortillas, but not wraps







A Yucca Tree reminds one of a palm trees, but then they are found in the desert and they are interesting. This one lives about a block North of us. Earlier this year the once short tree shot a branch straight up out of what we thought was the main part of the tree. Next a bunch of branches grew out and then these little bushy grouping went into bloom. It seemed like it all happened this summer?

Guess I might ponder if going for a walk or light run is as interesting through the neighborhood and in a desert setting vs's up a canyon an in a mountain area. Well it is interesting but I would still like to have a good canyon near by.

B Days went by, Fathers Day went by, June went by and not many blogs went by. Guess I don't have a lot of "blog" thoughts lately.

We did have a nice vacation in early June. Nice to do something different. Nice to see the "folks" up North.

Some guy was calling on me at work a few days ago and was talking a lot about "food wraps". I suppose we have food wraps at some of the stores in the area but mostly we call them "tortillas". This actually means "little cake" in Spanish but it is far more common in our area than "wraps" which I think are just very thin imitation tortillas. So I mentioned to him that "wraps were for Northerners". Course the question is "corn or flour"? Sort of like "red or green" if your talking sauce "down here". I like the flour and red by the way.............

On the other hand a close friend of mine was telling me all the things I couldn't or shouldn't eat and was reading me an article that mentioned that anything with fructose in it. Seems that fructose may be worse for you than hamburgers. Excessive carbohydrates were also on the bad list. Fried foods, soda pop, canned fruit in some syrups, peanuts, cashews, ham, hamburger, lobster, shrimp, perhaps all meats, sea foods and anything that has salt in it are all on my list of bad things. On my list of good things are Shredded Wheat, bananas, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and apparently chicken is what I have on the good list. (course it all tastes like chicken, some say)

Delaware Blue for anyone who got this far in this exciting blog is the name for this particular breed of chicken.
