FAVORITE FOODS

Throughout the day I look at many posts and many have a recipe for their favorite meal. I must admit that the ingredients sound mouthwatering and before I scroll down I have this vision of what the meal looks like. They sound good and I have tried some and was very pleased. There is only one thing that sometimes turns me away from a meal and that is the picture. Some foods do not translate into a good looking meal. The picture does not compliment the recipe. So at times it may be wise to list the ingredients and forgo the picture.

THANKS FOR THE COMMENT SARAH

In reference to the post about the old lady who shot a intruder I agree with you Sarah that it might be wise to take a martial arts class to protect yourself.
My daughter who lives in Texas took it one step further, I can't say that I agree with this, but her husband who will be leaving for Iraq soon went with her and bought a gun which is a pretty pink. They applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon in her purse. There was a 10 hour class which they attended which taught everything about how to handle and understand what a gun is. Then there was a session on firing the gun. She scored 246 hits out of 250 with 186 hits needed to pass. Of course her score put her way above the passing point.
Like I said, I don't know if this good or bad and I can only hope that if the need ever arises she will use good judgement.

ON TV

With winter being here I have a lot of extra time to watch tv, which I do. I like to watch shows like Cake Boss. Auction shows, Pawn Stars and other shows of that nature.
I was watching Cake Boss last night and it had the segment on about Buddy Volastro's (the owner of Carlo's Bakery) wife giving birth to the fourth child. It was a boy. Congratulations!
Carlo's Bakery is in Hoboken NJ and the whole family works there. Sisters, brother-in-laws, cousins and nephews. One big happy family?. I find it to be very entertaining and sometime funny. It's amazing the cakes that they put together.
Pawn Stars, stars the old man, Rick and Rick's son (Corey) and their friend Chumly (the weird one). It's interesting to see the things that people will bring into the shop to either pawn or sell.
Very interesting program.
If you have a chance tune in and give it a look.

REPLY TO GO GREEN

Thank you for the comment.
You might want to check with your local authorities. I would bet that there is a no call list in other states.
Good luck.

GOOD JOB LADY.

It was night time and as all decent citizens were sleeping a woman heard glass break somewhere in her home. Living alone, she had a gun because she didn't live in the best of neighborhoods.
She took her gun and went to investigate and low and behold she saw two figures in the darkness. At the same time she saw them and they saw her. No words were exchanged just a loud bang as she pulled the trigger on her gun. One intruder fell to the floor while the other ran like a goosed moose.
Police were called and the injured intruder was taken to the hospital where he died a short time later.
It was determined that no charges will be filed against the woman.
Job well done lady!!!

DON'T FEED THE DOG.

A man was walking his dog and as they passed another person, that person threw the dog a biscuit treat. The dogs owner, at that point, grabbed the biscuit thrower and slammed him up against a garage and a scuffle started. Police were called and the owner of the dog said he thought the biscuit thrower was trying to poison the dog.
Lesson learned, don't be kind to animals or better yet ask first if you can give the dog a treat.
