Devin begged to ride that old wooden roller coaster at Joyland. A photographer happened to be in the seat in front and took this. I was at home making this recipe.

Beef Tongue: yes, some people still cook this.
Remove gristle at the heavy end of the tongue, and the skin, using a utility knife. starting at the middle, hold the knife in a slanted position and carve long even slices. Carve ends the opposite direction.

 When I got home from work, Nancy had these ready for me. She is going to be a great cook!. These are just simply delicious. She got into the ham I was planning on for dinner, but kids do those things.
My little fancy Nancy.

 She grew up as of writing this and a carbon coy of Lady Gaga. Nancy is a superb cook and takes a single potato and makes the perfect golden hash browns, a secret she has not shared with me.

Necessity is the mother of taking chances...anon.

June

1 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 t. hickory salt
1/2 c. almonds, chopped fine
1/2 t. smoked paprika

Add all together and place in a cutesy serving dish. Chill until serving


Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

 When baking or popping corn, use real butter or margerine in place of spread. They contain a lot of water and popcorn gets soggy and baked goods flop.

 Spent the night in Kansas City with my brother, his wife Rosale, and two neices Rosa and Anna. That makes 5 excited little girls for a day of World's of Fun. Coming home we were so tired but I gave each of my three a box of Honey Munch and all is well.

You girls loved to hand these out to your friends after school. One day we came home and our pet shitzuh, Bandit, was on the table eating away and we could only save a few. Hence the name...

Forgiveness is a gift of high values, yet it costs us nothing.

We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals, others by their acts.

I love you Herman's Hermits. This recipe is for you

 My children would have been much more pleased if I would just give them a tub of frosting and a spoon, then to buy or bake a birthday cake. I try to prepare an exotic dish and just serve cupcakes.


Chili sauce is only ketchup with an attitude
