Stuffed Peppers; Swimmers; Practicing My Songs.
Good evening, each and every one of you! Have a relaxed evening, and then a restful sleep. John, you can do this, too, but at a different 'time on your clock'.

Stuffed peppers: They can be so delicious. At the grocery store recently, I saw four peppers in a net bag, on the discount shelf. I looked them over and bought them, as they were quite good, only a couple of minute blemishes. Today I made those four sweet peppers into stuffed peppers. Usually I use rice as part of the filler, but today I opened a 14-oz can of mixed vegetables and mashed them with a fork into smaller pieces of carrot, potato, corn, lima bean, pea, green bean, and celery. I had drained the juice to use for something else.
I browned a little ground beef to add to these veggies. I mixed them well, added some of the Flavor Mavens herb seasoning The Cow's Meow, and put them in the peppers (I had cut the top off about 3/4 inch from the top and cleaned out the seeds and innards). In a soup pot, I poured a little olive oil, and put the stuffed peppers with their 'caps' on in the pot, covered it and simmered it about fifty minutes. MMMMM-mmmmmmm, the aroma was nice, and the stuffed pepper was delicious. I put the other three in little containers to keep in the fridge.

This next 'article' happened about a week ago when I drove through Central Park (a quiet lovely place that has two small lakes in it) because the end of that road comes to the chiropractor's office. I had an appointment for helping my neck. It takes about 4 or 5 minutes to go through Central Park, as the speed limit is 15 mph.
In my opinion, it is quite difficult to keep the speed at 15 mph ~ many times my speed is 20 mph when I glance at the speedometer.
I always like to go through that place, it's quiet, green, lots of trees but none to hide anything, playground for kids with their parents, walking trails, and a game of throwing the disc. Also, though, what I like better, is looking at the two lakes. There is a large area to park your car if you wish to look out at the lake. There was swimming in that lake last week, quite a few swimmers, all naked! Well, they did have their feathers on as usual, having the greatest time ever. There were quite a few ducks and geese, at least forty of them. People sometimes throw feed out to them, or even put some feed on the grass. I don't park to watch the swimmers, because the speed limit does let you have many glances of the beautiful ducks and geese on the lakes.
A couple of times I did see on the quiet lake a blue heron, and another time, a white heron. Another time, Bill and I were going through Central Park and saw a bird of prey quite close up. It had caught something.
Well, that's all for the naked swimmers ~

Last evening I practiced singing my group of songs, and I did enjoy it very much. I am going to do that again, this evening. The more you practice, the better it sinks into your brain. But of course, you do know that.
I'll see you at the Corner Post ...
