Good 36ยบ tad warmer than yesterday morning!
This is interesting.... the photo of "Tonnie" was taken by my friend Debbie
Flores..... the painting of Tonnie was done by Donna Walsh.....
Notice ... there is a gun by her hand in the painting! Beautiful work,
Donna!
This is pretty good. From George Bachmeier.... men should always let women
talk first. The end is priceless. The babe is terminally beeeotchy.
This from my friend PatC. What a
great idea. Lunch in a jar!
Takes up little space, easy to make
and transport. From BOTTOM to TOP: Dressing, shredded carrots, sunflower seeds,
hard boiled eggs, baby spinach or lettuce.
1. Arrange ingredients in large
Mason jar. 2. Store in fridge for at least a week. 3. When ready to eat, shake
jar, and pour out onto plate.
You can make any arrangement you
want .. add red onion, cucumbers, radishes, peppers, etc. Always remember to put
the dressing on the bottom and the lettuce on the top. If you do make several
and save for the week, vacuum seal the jars!

The Law Enforcement/Fire lunch
yesterday was fun. I got there a tad early and the room was empty (all the guys
were down in the bar having their bloodies! You can see mine sitting on the
table.....)
The food is always good. I had the
"Big Bird" which is turkey, bacon, mozzarella cheese ... grilled, with onion
rings that are awesome! I was taking a picture of my lunch when Dale reached
over and was stealing an onion ring!
Bill had prime rib.... as Rufus and
Bob looked on...
Really, Jeannie, he only ate a
little and I'm sure he'll be ready for the dinner you slaved to make for
him!
BTW, had a note from a friend,
Ruth, who has a Shark Vacuum also and Shelly, her husband LOVES it! I have to
say, I looked at the bedroom carpet yesterday, it's a dark green and had been
vacuumed 4 days earlier...Looked clean to me. I fired up the Shark and OMG the
dirt and animal hair that came off that carpet blew me away!
All I know. Haircut day. Nuff said.
Happy Thursday. Ciao.

May 2nd
National Truffles
Day
On the one hand, truffles are an edible fungus, a hard-to-grow delicacy that have been called 'the diamond of the kitchen.' On the other hand, truffles are chocolate bon-bons, called truffles because of their rounded resemblance to the natural kind. Both are celebrated on National Truffles Day, the sweets and the mushroomy kind.
