    In case you plan to be in Gulf Shores, Alabama soon….

    This Alabama Gulf Coast Restaurant Is Worth Planning A Trip Around

    Jesse’s on the Bay is our Restaurant of the Month for July 2026.

    By Kimberly Holland – Published on July 08, 2026

    In Fort Morgan, a sparsely populated peninsula that stretches from Gulf Shores to a historic fort positioned in the open waters of Mobile Bay, Jesse’s on the Bay is giving tourists and locals alike a reason to drive down a long stretch of beachside roads.

      Good mornin’, Lucille! I can always eat a plate of scallops. I’m full just looking at that picture. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

        Good morning, Texan! Now don’t go getting gustatory glow thinking about those delicious scallops! Here’s a few ideas from AI for coffee as related to scallops…

        Culinary Creativity — Using coffee in marinades or glazes can introduce an unexpected twist to traditional scallop recipes.

        Flavor Contrast — The bitterness of black coffee balances the sweetness of scallops, creating a harmonious dish.

        Sauce Application — Coffee can be used in sauces, such as a coffee vinaigrette, to add depth to scallops. 

        Cooking Technique — When seared properly, scallops can develop a crispy exterior that pairs well with the smoothness of coffee.

      Good morning, Lucille,

      I’ll choose the Italian Dolomites, as long as I can stay in the meadow.

    Good mornin’, and happy Friday! Some days, I’m still amazed by the petulant children we encounter. Much like TeeVee networks who don’t want to spread “disinformation”. There’s that word again. I felt that we needed a bit more coffee after that, so we went big on this end-of-the-week day! Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.

    National Yellow Pig Day – has nothing to do with yellow or pigs, just a made up day for math nerds

    National Tattoo Day – none for me thanks

    National Lottery Day

    National Wrong Way Corrigan Day – I have no sense of direction, I just memorize stuff and look at maps

    National Peach Ice Cream Day – guess I’ll idolize a flavor each day for the rest of the month

    World Emoji Day

    Day for International Criminal Justice

      Just say no to tats! And I remember homemade peach ice cream from summers as a kid. It was a rare thing to get it, and I liked it. Morning czarina!

      I have achieved an uneasy truce with them.

      Good morning, czarina! I remember when the soda fountain at the local drugstore had a different special flavor for every month. Peach was one of my favorites.

      No tattoos for me.

      I would make life a little easier if I won the lottery.

      I always thought the story of Wrong Way Corrigan was interesting.

      Yes to peach ice cream.

      Good day, Czarina! Is it wrong to pray God you win the lottery? LOL! I sure could use it in my hunt for affordable assisted living quarters.

      Speaking of winning the lottery…many years ago a widowed friend of mine owed thousands in doctor and hospital bills and so decided to take her chances for winning the lottery. She figured out an elaborate sequence of numbers combining her wedding date, and her parents birthdays. She went to her local 7/11 and bought a ticket. Came the day the winning number was posted and she won a couple million. She checked the spot where she’d stashed her ticket. It wasn’t there. She looked everywhere, even took everything out of the apartment outdoor trash bin to find her bags to go through. Nada! She went to the 7/11 and asked if anyone had turned in her ticket. Nope! The winnings remained unclaimed that week. She never found her ticket and it remains a mystery to this day as to what happened to it.

    Mornin’ All. It is pretty gray out and half the sky is gray/dark gray clouds. I am hearing thunder. I don’t know if anything will come of it. It was really hot last night and I sat up until about 3:00 when it finally started to cool a little bit. Then I slept okay. I’m having dreams of snow. 🙄

    I shouldn’t complain, the rest of the country seems to be a lot worse off with bad smokey air and flooding. Hope you all can stay safe.
