RAIN!


Early Tuesday afternoon the sky opened and gifted us with rain into the evening. It made nature and me very happy. The unhappy part is the heat and humidity coming our way. 





My prednisone induced mojo has somehow disappeared. Not fair. Now I must put forth effort to maintain even the slightest bit of what I had for a week. Not fair. I guess I feel the need to do some whining, or is it just kvetching? We'll go with that.

Let's talk about one of the easiest meals to prepare. Cajun shrimp. I looked up a recipe, something I very rarely do. Other than cooking the rice, it took maybe five minutes. I made the seasoning per instruction. It had a kick! This will be on my quick and easy dinner list.





Now off to search the corners for some motivation.

Sorry about the mojo. I can send you a bucket or two of mine. Free shipping. But wait there's more. Order two free buckets of mojo and get TWO more free! Act now. Supplies are limited.

As one person said, My get up and go dun got up and went.

It is too bad mojo isn't available on Prime this week.

Boud said...

Just a mojo moment then. I have shrimp in the freezer and I think I'll look up a recipe. Ty.

We have also had hard rain like that a couple of times...keeps everything green. Hope your Mojo returns soon.

Oh, send a little rain, I miss it in this unbearable heat.
Morning hug, Andreja!

Mojo. Wouldn't it be nice if it were canned and we could just have a bite of it once in a while?
We have had 2 inches of rain in the past two days. Yesterday afternoon we had hail also with a Tornado warning that was cancelled about 15 minutes later.

We are due for some really warm weather this weekend so maybe it will be wise to stay out of the heat!

Sandra said...

Oh, boy!! I'll double the order, Ivy!!!

Sandra said...

That person dun did nail it, AC.

Sandra said...

😂 it sure is, Miss Merry!

Sandra said...

I was good and quick. I did add a little more butter.

Sandra said...

I'm not holding my breath, Lori.

Sandra said...

Unbearable heat and humidity is on its way here, Andreja. Hopefully you get some rain.

Sandra said...

I will definitely stay out of the heat, Val. Canned mojo. Those with extra could make a fortune!

Prednisone can give that to you and then it is gone:(

CheerfulMonk said...

I love shrimp! You are making me hungry. 😊

Sandra said...

It's not fair FS.

Sandra said...

It's very simple, Cheerful. I can send it to you if you like.

DeniseinVA said...

Glad you got your rain. We did too but sometime soon it is going to get up to 100 degrees F. That and the humidity will keep me indoors. Your shrimp meal looks delicious!

Sandra said...

We will be in the 90s. Not summer as I remember it, Denise. 😥

The Happy Whisk said...

Ships for thing in the morning.

We have no rain forecast, except for a bit over the past weekend, but we will be "enjoying" the same heat wave in New England that Denise mentioned she will be having in VA. Quick and easy dinners are my favorite especially now and we DO have shrimp and rice and some frozen broccoli, so I have a meal plan!
