Sounds about right...

Marion County Deputies were involved in a high speed chase at approximately 2:45 AM Friday Morning near Melcher Dallas on Hwy G76. Deputies spotted a suspicious vehicle in the area and as the license plate was being processed the vehicle sped away. After a chase of approximately one mile, the vehicle went into a ditch on G76, and three suspects were apprehended. The driver of the vehicle, Jamie Wilson of Chariton was charged with OWI, eluding, and reckless driving. A passenger in the vehicle, Trapper Bryson, also from Chariton, was arrested on an outstanding warrant from Lucas County. A third individual in the vehicle was not charged. No one was injured in the incident. KNIA KRLS will provide more information as soon as it becomes official.

Most mornings, when we walk Penny and climb Mt Miramar, we look to see how good the ocean view is – how crisp and how far can we see – Pendleton? The Coronado Islands off Mexico? One day last month, when it was exceptionally clear, we could see Catalina Island.

But this morning, the slate grey Pacific held little interest, as our gazes turned east to the rocky summits of eastern San Diego County and beyond. Today is the first day of our Winterreise – our trip to see The Beloved’s folks for Christmas.

Penny had a good long walk and I know from all the running around and prep that we've been doing that she knows something's up.

Are you coming?

We’re shooting to be on the road today by noon. Wish us luck!

Early Season on Christmas

With our upcoming cross-country adventure looming, the Beloved and I decided to celebrate our own Christmas a little early this weekend. On Saturday, we stayed in our jammies, opened our stockings and exchanged gifts. Penny got her first stocking and was excited to find a couple of new toys and a few treats.

Stocking Stuffers

We said no tv or computer and we stayed in, lit the fireplace, listened to Christmas music and read. The weather cooperated for such a day by providing a much too rare all-day rain. Pretty much a perfect day.

The Christmas feast this year was a Bobby Flay recipe that we’d decided on – a veritable mouthful: Pan Seared Duck with Red Chile Pear Sauce, Bourbon-Brown Sugar-Asian Pear Relish and Potato-Blue Cheese Cakes. We had it with an excellent Novy Family Syrah.

This week is busy with a lot of prep and packing. I did stop by AAA today while I was out and scored this important travel aide:

Holiday CSA box Happy Hour: The Persimmon Margarita

Sometimes things come in our bi-weekly CSA box and you’re just not sure what to do with them. Or more precisely, you’re not sure what to do with SO MUCH of them. Case in point – this summer, we ate a lot of bok-choi. I mean a LOT of bok-choi -- enough that you really run out of new recipes that you want to try and sort of dread seeing more in the next box.

There was a chance that would happen when in our last box, we got a whole bag of persimmons – and we weren’t sure what to do with them all. There was talk of persimmon pudding and maybe some persimmon quickbread… but then Imbibe magazine came to the rescue with something perfect for the holidays...

The Persimmon Margarita

1 3/4 oz. tequila reposado

1 ½ tbsp persimmon puree

1/2 oz. simple syrup

1 oz. lime juice

Beforehand, take your persimmons and cut off the caps and then quarter and blend (skins and all) in a blender. Then combine the ingredients listed above in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

A good use of fresh fruit

This is a really refreshing drink and is bright and cheerful for the holidays. The little touch of cinnamon also helps it fit right in on any Holiday menu.

Woman, 98, indicted in death of 100-year-old nursing home roommate

Prosecutors say Laura Lundquist killed centenarian Elizabeth Barrow, a resident of Brandon Woods Nursing Home in Dartmouth, after the two women had an argument over a table Lundquist had placed at the foot of Barrow's bed.

Barrow was found dead September 24 with a plastic shopping bag tied loosely around her head, according the Bristol County district attorney's office. An autopsy indicated Barrow had been strangled.

Barrow complained that the table obstructed her path to the bathroom, authorities said. When a nurse's aide moved it, Lundquist punched the aide and grumbled that her roommate "might as well have the whole room," prosecutors said.

District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter said Barrow repeatedly complained that Lundquist was making her life "a living hell" in the weeks leading up to the woman's death, and that Lundquist remarked that she would outlive her roommate.
