* The unknown soul who made the following sage observation must have been a keen observer of events: “A politician can appear to have his nose to the grindstone while straddling a fence and keeping both ears to the ground.” * In the 17th century, a Frenchman opened a coffee shop in London and sold chocolate, newly imported from the Americas, for 10 to 15 shillings a pound. That may not sound like much until you learn that at the time, the going price of a pound gold was 20 to 30 shillings. * Are you interested in pogonotrophy? If you’re a woman...
This caught my eye and, of course, makes me think of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, always a favorite for those cold days and a quick dinner. I didn't get a chance to make it yet but it got a five-star rati9ng. One of the seasonings is garam masala. I googled it to see if it was going to be hard to find and it isn't. When I get it purchased and if you are interested in making this, then please let me know. The recipe only calls for 1/8 teaspoon, so I'm sure I will have plenty to share. It looks like an interesting blend of flavors....
Remember hearing "Kilroy was here"? Kilroy is a famous "doodle" seen during World War II. No one is sure exactly where it began, but in about 1939, the comic man looking over a fence while poking his nose and hands over it with the words "Kilroy was here" started to appear. The doodles were found in strange places where soldiers were stationed. The character may have been inspired by an earlier bit of graffiti used by Australians during World War I with the words "Foo was here." He reappeared...

This is a favorite with my kids and requested every year, along with my dinner rolls, and this year, the sweet potato dish with marshmallows. I have made my dinner rolls for a long time, but this time, it seemed all the stars were not aligned as the bottoms burnt and they didn’t rise as much. Sigh! All the time, ingredients, and cost that goes into them and they were a failure. I’m not sure if I will have time to redo or not. I posted my tragic day on Facebook and by the response, I had good company. This recipe has several names and Chex mix...

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver --- * It was noted American journalist, satirist and cultural critic H.L. Mencken who made the following sage observation: “Whenever ‘A’ attempts by law to impose his moral standards upon ‘B’, ‘A’ is most likely a scoundrel.” * You’re certainly aware that the Middle East has large deposits of petroleum.

My perfect Christmas morning By Race Hubbard I'm as quiet as a mouse, still snuggled in my cozy warm bed. Dreaming of dancing candy canes and swimming marshmallows in a pool filled with hot cocoa. I wake with my little brother shaking me saying “wake up, wake up!” we run down stairs there are presents everywhere. We look outside; the snow is taller than the porch!!! “This is the perfect time to use my new sled!” I exclaimed. The Christmas lights reflecting off the beautiful snow. I smell the smell of hot cocoa and biscuits and gravy. Soon we op...
