Was planning on a leisurely evening yesterday when friends called at 4pm, and accepted an earlier dinner invite.  So, took stock of the larder and the refer, had just boiled some eggs, and I keep some good tuna in oil around, so given the hot weather, Salad Nicoise was just the ticket.  Did a pretty faithful rendition per Julia Childs "The Way to Cook".  There is a big mound of her French tater salad in the middle, over a bed of lettuce, with tuna, eggs, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, anchovies and parsley, all drizzled with a lemon-dijon vinaigrette.  It makes a nice one dish meal, and looks good on the platter.  Bon appetit!  

 

I would definitely work for that! Looks delicious.

I'm sure having a well-stocked reefer would enhance any social gathering...  🤣

Uh, actually, getting banned in Florida is now a pretty low bar.  I'll go for the tried and true - Banned in Boston.  Now we're talkin'!!

Well now, this is certainly more entertaining than an Oceania cruise. (I don't really know, but that's what I've been reading.)

 

Welcome to the Cooler Softly!  This is an entertaining bunch! 😅

We're getting political here.  At least in Florida they don't burn the books. [Or demand that they not be published at all...]

No Jazz, not us.  All are welcome at the cooler table from what I've seen.

We do follow the news a bit though

Admittedly, Florida - unlike Boston - has not had any molasses floods, that I'm aware of.  I'll give them that.  Plus, the gators sort of clean up the riff raff who venture too close to the water hazards...😛

They have a marvelous local rule at Florida golf courses that any ball that goes out of bounds is a free drop – no need to go near the gators.

Except at this fella’s home.  He puts the gators in the trash.

This is why HOAs in Florida specify you use a trash receptacle! 😄 Oddly enough, the Waste Management guidelines don't specify which day of the week they collect wildlife - regular, bulk trash or recycle day.

Hi, I didn't realize they call it trash receptacle (or maybe I forgot)........I live in a Condo community and I just call it a "Dumpster"😧.....guess I am not up to date on my garbage terms.

 

I am up in the North Florida, Duval County and we had an historic election yesterday. First time in the city's history we have elected a Female Mayor!😀

While in the field visit....

The video of this guy getting the gator in the can (another trash term, Lois 😉) was hilarious.

this view is of the roof. the lower part is under the floor, but it is very clear due to the glass roof. around it there is a narrow ring of water

 inside there are scuptures of angels that seems to be flying. the architect , Oscar Niemeyer is the same of the church in my home town i showed some months ago.

We enjoyed seeing the museum he designed in Niteroi.
