I’m off with family, getting ready for my youngest brother’s wedding. I’ll be the one in the pretty bridesmaid dress, my 3-year-old niece and I playing princess in our matching dresses while mom and dad get hitched. But I didn’t forget you guys. I thought a fish recipe would be nice since we haven’t had one in a while. This fish is courtesy of my friend Alton Gunn.
1) Pico De Gallo Fish
2) Rice
3) Tomato-Avocado Chutney
4) Fresh Pineapple w/Ice Cream

(Enjoy your princess dress, BHF!)

I’m hoping Anne Laurie will post the weekly recipe here, because I think I deleted it.

Bitsy Update
Sadly, despite our best efforts, Bitsy did not make the top four:
Good Morning to All,
Little Bitsy was not chosen as one of the 4 Finalists for the Cutest Dog Competition. I had such high hopes that she would be chosen by the judges. But I know that she IS the Cutest Dog and has been the perfect poster dog for animal welfare in our area.
I would like to personally thank everyone who worked so hard to get her chosen as Week 12 winner and I cannot tell you how many positive things have occurred as a result of her being in the contest. A special thanks to Sylvia and Barney Evans for giving Little Bitsy should a wonderful and loving home and for spearheading her being a contestant.
The Balloon-Juice (initiated by Laura Winzler), the Flybabies (initiated by Marla Cilley), the Don’t Bully My Breed groups were so instrumental in helping get votes. Sean Trapp at the Transylvania Times ran front page stories. Our local radio station, WSQL interviewed Little Bitsy and gave regular updates. The Asheville Citizens Times ran a story. Asheville TV station had a featured story.My granddaughters, Lauren and Kaytlin, had Little Bitsy on Face Book as did Sylvia’s daughter, Rachel, and my daughter Heather too. And of course, our dear Erma Rhodes and Cherie Henderson spent countless hours on the computer spreading the word. Debbie Deaver at Steve Owen and Associates helped bring all of us at work closer together. Brevard Board of REALTORS spread the word to all real estate agents. I could go on and on and know that I am surely leaving out so many others who helped. It was definitely a community effort.
Our goal of creating a 501c3 non profit for animal rescue work is progressing. Brian Philips, Attorney and John Moore, CPA, are working on it now. It will be called Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue in honor of my Daddy, Charlie Powers, and Gault Beeson who loved his Gault’s Angels, his beagles.
With heartfelt thanks to all..Please send this on to others that you know are interested in knowing the results.
Oh, well. We tried.
Gone But Not Forgotten
This goes out to Spec. Geoff Wood, my best friend back in the day, a good Texas boy, someone who raised hell with me in several countries and a bunch of states, was my best friend, a good soldier, a man who loved his fast cars and Lucchese boots, taught me a lot about music and food, loved life and loved his Willie:
RIP, brother.
Bitsy Update and Open Thread
Just a reminder, tomorrow is the selection day for the final four for the Cutest Dog, and we are all still pulling for Little Bitsy:
A special thanks to those of you who privately sent checks to Evelyn to help with dog rescue efforts.
