Photos, photos, photos – etc.

I undertook a project that is lasting a hell of a lot longer than anticipated. I decided to scan all of the photos that we can find in the computer and were going to put them on a jump drive and put that in the safe. Mom always said that if there was a fire the 1st thing she do is get the pets and daughters outside and then she'd worry about the photos.

So I have finished scanning all the photos in the house, that's step one. Next step is to label the pictures on the computer pictures, that's step 2. Step 3 will be writing on the back of the pictures if they aren't already labeled.

Ma, I could really throw a water balloon at you or something, did you ever really realize how many photos aren't labeled? Step 3 is going to be quite a task. A lot of them we recognize people or places and approximate years, but there are a lot that we don't. Were going to try to do a Google and tineye search on some of them and hope for the best.

Here is a picture of the pictures, showing just how many I have scanned into the computer. We have one milk crate full 3 large shoeboxes or whatever the heck you want to call them, and one small, actually a medium-size tote. Now I get to ride on the back about most of these. This is a little daunting.

My supervisor for this stage was Evie

paprika bendl - Paprika Chicken

Image
My speciality. I found this recipe in an unusual book in my senior year in highschool and we gave it a try. I've adapted it over the years (reducing the paprika so we aren't reaching for a pitcher of water or milk like Jonathan Harker was). This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too. Paprika Chicken (paprikabendl) 1 young fowl, about 4 lbs                                2 tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika 2 tbsp fat                                                          2 lrg onions, chopped ½ c tomato juice                                               2 tbsp flour ½ c sour cream Cut chicken into serving pieces, and salt.   Lightly brown onions in fat.   Blend in half the paprika.   Add tomato juice and chicken.   Simmer, covered, 1 hour or until tender.   Remove chicken.   Add remaining paprika to sauce, then add the flour beaten into sour cream.   Simmer, stirring, 5 m

Yuletide and Mama

Mom and Mama Marie; We miss you both so much. It's not the same without you. I haven't even watched the Grinch once this season. I had pinto beans and northern beans for dinner tonight.  I know that would make you smile, Mom.  I remember that first Christmas after Harley almost killed you and you threw him out. We hadn't lost the house yet but things were rough.  The only food we had were beans and potatoes and my gifting was the encyclopedias that you and Harley had bought on time months before.  We were headed to Uncle George and Aunt Rose's place in LA the next day. You made that dinner special, Mom.  You lit candles and we opened presents (I think Grandma "helped" with your gifts).  There have been a lot of holiday meals since then, Mom, but that one stays in the forefront of the memories. We miss you
