Letter "C" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 09 / Reflections and-or Street/Candid Captures

 - Tom's posting prompts:  This "Week's Prompts 
Starts with "C." A Favorite. "C"loud:"  
 - James wishes for our Reflections and/or Street Photos

Starts with "C":  "Caught" starts with "C".  Here she was 'Caught in the act.'  Always she's liked travel, probably more than the average U.S. person who has traveled. 


A Favorite  Cheese and it too starts with "C".  Our younger daughter and granddaughter were in Florida for a week, so we were the beneficiaries of her refrigerator goodies about to outlive their "use by dates." 

She  told us how to make a variation of the Croque-Monsieur (a French dish--the pictured one has cheese and ham which I usually have).  She used her broiler to toast and oven to heat.  The cheese, Monichevre Bucheron, would be heated until it bubbled.  The smaller piece used cheddar cheese as I used all the good stuff on the other two. 

I like cooking shortcuts, I call that "bachelorizing the recipe," in other words my "Quick and Easy" way (link).  So I toasted the bread in the toaster and did the heating in the microwave until the cheese bubbled.

The lettuce salad was supposed to have special dressing, one she makes.  But we forgot to take that home so we used store bought, I used Blue Cheese Dressing

Clouds and shadows this morning here at my house 

Clouds over my house this morning, what's in the garage? 

Tom's choice, "Cloud":  The Clouds here go north for rain up in the Midwest. 

We are in drought status and we've been hovering mostly just above 100F. 

It's generally hot even in the mornings but today I caught a cool breeze standing under the tree taking Cloud pictures.  

My Mustang in the garage is a 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible.  Next year it will be 25 years old and will qualify as either a classic or antique car.  I'll probably choose the Classic Car Category as that sounds more like I can use it more now and then.  

I don't think that I can use my Ham Radio license registration as an antique or a classic.  It has 113K miles, I bought it as a retirement gift to me with 49K back in 2001.
 
Her annual performance is due soon.  
She isn't very worried about it.

Reflections and/or Street/Candid Photos:  I Caught Mrs. Jim trying to drink coffee and glance over her shoulder both at the same time.


A Lagniappe
:  A Cajun Country Town, Arnaudville, Louisianna, we gotta go see it.   It's off I-10 just 16 miles North from Breaux Bridge.

...I wish that we would get some rain "C"louds.
...you "C"ar qualifies to be in the "C"lassic "C"ar "C"ategory.
thanks Jim for stopping by.
 
Beautiful series and I kinda would like a cheese-bread with sparkling wine in a glass like that!
In fact I´ll top the bread with a boiled egg in half an hour :-) And maybe get that wine, too.
 
Good capture of your wife Jim and I love the shots with clouds. That cheese dish sounds good to eat. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.
 
Good shot of the shadowy footpath.
 
I think personally cheese is so under-rated, I've recently discovered New Zealand has some Rotoiti (mild blue cheese) and smoked cheese that is really yummy, personally my favourite is one with fruit and nuts in it.
 
Fun post! Thanks Croque-Monsieur link. I love eating Croque-Madames in France.
 
I'm not a huge cheese fan, but like a good bleu (or other tasty cheese) as a condiment.
