In 1961 there was the birth of an
  
arrogant, entitled, self-indulged, egotistical, self-serving,

conceited, narcissistic, pompous, idiotic, supercilious, 

superficial, unaccountable, aloof, insolent, self-important, 

schmuck. Guess who?
 
 
Ok, this came from George Bachmeier (LASD ret)... this is amazing how math works....
 
1.  Grab a calculator (you won't be able to do this one in your head) 
2.  Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code -- example: 555-976-5555 -- you'd use "976" 
3.  Multiply by 80 
4.  Add 1 
5.  Multiply by 250 
6.  Add the last 4 digits of your phone number (e.g. 5349) 
7.  Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
8.  Subtract 250 
9.  Divide number by 2. (How do they do that! Try it again with a 
     different number.)

Look at the number
Blew my mind!!!
 
Dinner ... Mushroom Casserole
3 cups fresh mushrooms
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 cubes chicken bullion
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup diced carrots
1 small onion chopped
12 Saltine crackers
1/4 cup butter, melted
(My substitutions: re-hydrated mushrooms and fresh mushrooms, 4 t. Better Than Bullion ... water to boil in micro, add bullion and dehydrated onion and mix, re-hydrated peas, carrot slices, Flax Seed chips)



Mix soup and bullion and chopped onion. Combine with peas, mushrooms, and carrots. Season with pepper to taste. Place in greased casserole (used my Crock*Pot casserole)


Cover and bake 350º 40 minutes. Remove cover and let cook 10 more minutes to reduce liquid. Crush crackers and add melted butter.

Sprinkle over casserole. Return to oven and broil about 5 minutes.
(I cooked on low for 2 1/2 hours and never turned on the oven. Then I added in some cooked shrimp.)
                                           OMGOOOOOD!!!!!

Dessert was some Peanut Butter Vodka on the rocks!


 
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

US Coast Guard Day




 
U.S. Coast Guard Day honors the military branch that protects our waters and shorelines. The U.S. Defense Department suggests that this day is largely an internal celebration for all Coast Guard personnel and their families, past and present. But, I'd like to encourage everyone to honor the brave members of this important branch of the military.
 
Celebrate U.S. Coast Guard Day by learning more about the responsibilities and functions of the U.S. Coast Guard. They are now playing an even  more extensive role in Homeland Security to protect our country.
 
I salute Coast Guard personnel today and every day.  I hope you do, too.
 
Origin of US Coast Guard Day:
 

On August 4, 1790, the Revenue Cutter Service was created by the U.S. Congress. Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters. These ships were built to to enforce U.S. tariff laws. The Revenue Cutter Service was the predecessor the U.S. Coast Guard.  The name "Coast Guard" was first used in 1915.
