A very happy Father's Day

Roses are red, Iris are blue, my Father's Day was great, how about you...... don't forget to click the pics.

A great Father's Day for me yesterday. I hadn't talked about it on my blog, but my family has been on a three-week vacation to the beach in North Carolina, and I was here taking care of the house and watching after things while they were gone, and as luck would have it they got back yesterday afternoon just in time for Father's Day.

It was sure great having everyone back together again, and even though everyone had a good time on the trip, they were all thrilled to be home again. But I was the happiest of all.

I was supposed to be taken out to my favorite restaurant for breakfast this morning, but unfortunately, I had an appointment to have my truck windshield replaced, so I had to hang around the house waiting for the glass guy.

So then the visit to my favorite restaurant was put off until Tuesday. But I have an appointment to take the truck to have its emissions test done tomorrow, so my Father's Day breakfast has been moved ahead until Wednesday. Hopefully, by then, my busy schedule will finally allow me to have breakfast with my family at Lucille's restaurant for some down-home Cajun cooking.

OH BOY. Shades of my grandmother Trump, she was a Cajun and made some famous breakfasts in my early life.

Lucille's restaurant here in Denver is my favorite place to eat. Without a doubt they make the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had in my life. And real old-time grits that taste just like my mom made, and since my mom was born and raised in South Georgia, she knew something about grits.

OK then!! When you can work it into your schedule, you will be properly feted with a fine Cajun breakfast. I don't know for sure what a Cajun breakfast consists of, but I do like Cajun food. I suspect it will be quite good.....You could always do the popular thing and take a photo of the food. Who doesn't like to see food??
Better than infrared hoar frost anytime. Oddly those infrared's never look cold to me. I spent a couple of years in the north, so
I know a winter morning. Well, takes all kinds. And if they suit you, keep doing it. I always have the choice of scrolling through quickly! And it IS your blog.

I'm rather fond of Cajun food myself, the food appears the same to me, they just often prepare it differently.

In this case I might take a picture of the food at Lucille's restaurant. Normally I don't do food pictures except on very special occasions, and I think the last special occasion was when I was camping on Padre island and had some real gulf shrimp, instead of farm raised shrimp which aren't worth eating.

Fortunately I don't take very many infrared pictures since I think they are best used sparingly. And there's not many places where an infrared picture looks unique. In the desert since there's not much chlorophyll hanging around, you would be hard-pressed to tell an infrared photo from a black and white one.

Maybe I could attach a warning to a blog post that contains infrared pictures such as..... Roses are red, violets are blue, infrared pictures ahead, and their risky to view.

Ha. Yes. You could put "trigger warning" or whatever they call it in college courses these days when someone is trying to teach literature....or teach at atll.

Yeah I don't think the majority of college students are getting their money's worth anymore. I think they would be better served by going to a technical college and learning how to be an electrician or a plumber.

Southern Louisiana breakfasts Cajun style has no peers. grillades & stone ground grits with para cheese - Blueberry Cornmeal or buttermilk pancakes and of course over easy or basted eggs biscuits, preserves and fresh boudin sausage - Spent a week on leave with a military buddy from near Opelousas LA. - I have never ate or enjoyed so much incredible home cooked meals/cookouts , music and culture since.

That's for sure. The Cajun roots run long and deep in Louisiana, and there music, culture, and especially their food is still as popular as ever. But the real stuff is hard to get when you're this far from the Mississippi River. Usually as close as you can get to Cajun cooking is a fast food place like Popeyes, which by the way has great red beans and rice, so were all lucky to have Lucille's restaurant right here in Denver where Cajun cooking is done right.

I've never tried Cajun food but I do have Zydeco music on my player.

Zydeco music and Cajun cooking both go together really well, my favorite for music is the The Ragin' Cajun, Doug Kershaw.
