Lonesome Dove is a western about retired Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call. It is their lifelong friendship that captivates the storyline. Excellent, excellent dialogue. It is a mini-series that was originally on television back in 1989, I think it was. The movie is 8 hours. I check it out from the library about every two years and watch it on a Saturday.

It is the story about Irena no matter who tells it. What a beautiful woman, oohh, such a beautiful life. She didn't ask political party. Neither did the children. Oh, that we should learn from them.

Thanks now I see and waysider. now I see, when you mentioned the estrogen thing that triggered my memory of what my student explained and the local ACS affirmed! The chemical reaction that takes place in heated plastic imitates estrogen. About cast iron. I grew up in a home where we used only cast iron. My grandparents used only cast iron. I use cast iron almost exclusively and a couple of stainless steel pieces made by All-Clad. The thing about that is tricky. If you use cast iron take no vitamins with iron. If you cook one item a day in cast iron you get all the iron you need. Folks eat so much fake stuff in their diet it prohibits and/or impedes the proper absorption and working of iron. Less active folks need less iron. Then sometimes less active folks need more iron to get them up and going. Depends on diet.

now I see, they are fresh herbs. Mince, mince, mince. Did somebody say BPA's as in plastics????? Thanks for the opening to get me going. Two years ago I was teaching a class and we were talking about cooking surfaces. Don't even get me going on "non-stick" surfaces. Somebody mentioned Sheryl Crowe and her claiming drinking from plastic water bottles was responsible for her cancer. The student said he didn't believe it. Another student spoke up and said she was a cancer survivor. She said was told by our local American Cancer Society not to heat and eat anything in plastic as this increased a womans risk of breast cancer. I had to find out for myself. I called them the next day and they verified this. Anybody heard of Melamine? Yeh, I think so. Just because it is not being added to our food why would we want to eat from dishes made of this?

Leafy, are those beautiful flowers (anemones?) from your garden? How about those baby leaves of radishes, cabbages, carrots and all? Come on let us know how they are doing. WateredGarden, you are near the frozen tundra. So have you guys started things indoors? gc, when you say washing line do you mean a clothes line? Or is it plumbing lines? Hot dang girl, you tore up and removed concrete? That is some hard work. I won't ever challenge you to arm wrestle.

Checked up on the boy's history on the computer. Linedrive.com justbats.com rawlings.com baseballwarehouse.com dicksportinggoods.com MLB.com I wonder what he is thinking about?

It is "Lonesome Dove."

A long time friend here in town, that I talk to a couple of times a week, sent me an invite to Facebook. O.k. I joined. It is confusing. I can't figure it out. Many folks I know live here in town and talk to on the phone and fellowship with. Why would I want to do a computer thing with them? I must be missing the allure of something. I see folks posting pictures of their children and grandchildren. I wonder if they have asked their permission to do so. I see family business ( a southernism meaning personal laundry, dirty or not) being given in length and great detail. I wonder if Aunt Soo Soo or brother Billy or the children know or gave permission for such information to be shared. That is what creeps me out about these kind of websites. I am going to un-join. I see no benefit. My son and his wife called to ask if they could post a wedding picture that included me in it. I was proud of them.

I do think about that day, all the time. Aaah, when I at last see my Lord face to face, look into his eyes, we smile at each other then laugh, grab each other.....then we dance. Ya'll gotta wait in line cause I already told Him I want the first dance.

RumRunner, I am lazy in the area of washing equipment pieces. I would rather work up a sweat whisking than washing dishes. Ain't that crazy. To keep the eggs from cooking make sure the temperature of your liquid is no higher than 145 degrees. Once the eggs have tripled in volume remove pan from heat and place on a damp towel. Add the melted butter in a thin stream whisking the entire time. Tempering also works.

"It says "Josh Deets'. Served with me 30 years, fought in 21 engagements with the Comanche and the Kiowa. Cheeful in all weathers, never shirked a task. Splendid behavior. That's what it says." If nobody gets it after this I will give the answer.

The ground finally dried enough for one day and I planted everything I mentioned before. I even planted the peas and made trellises (sp?) from branches and twine. That was a Friday. It started raining the next day. Hallelujah! Then it started snowing Sunday afternoon. Now we are gonna have snow peas!!! Hah, hah! One week later to the day it was 75 degrees. For a week it was between 80 and 85 degrees. We slept with the windows open and pranced around in shorts. That was until yesterday. It is 50 degrees and we are freezing. But the "snow" peas are looking mighty green and healthy. Those precious little leaves are unfurled and reaching for the twine support their garden mama put up for them. Of all the veggies, the red leaf lettuce has suffered the most from the snow. I think I may clip it back to the ground and see if it comes back up. I noticed yesterday green leaf lettuce I planted last fall and thought we used it all has started coming back up. It has been covered with mulch during the winter. Happy gardening to all.

Green Goddess Dressing aka flavored mayonnaise (one of many) In a food processor puree: one cup each of spinach leaves and watercress 3 tbsp each parsley and tarragon 3 cloves garlic paste cup of vegetable oil Combine mixture with 32 oz of mayonnaise and 2 tbsp of dry mustard. If you want add a little salt, pepper and or lemon juice.

now I see, this is the recipe that I use at home and teach in my classes. Makes about 32 ounces 3 large pasteurized egg yolks 24 fl oz of vegetable oil 1 to 2 fl oz white vinegar or lemon juice 1 fl oz water Whisk the yolks and a bit of the water together. Whisk until eggs are very loose. Add the vinegar or lemon juice. Pour the oil into the egg mixture whisking constantly. The oil MUST be added in a thin stream, particularly in the beginning. If mayonnaise becomes too thick while incorporating oil then add droplets of water. Yes, this is one instance where water and oil do mix!! If mixture becomes too thick and you do not add water then the remainder of the oil will not be absorbed. I am one of those that likes a mayo that stands up on its own. So mine is more jiggly than creamy. I lay off of the water a little bit. Now, if you want a nuttier tasting mayo, maybe used for dipping, use all peanut or extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. Or use half nut oil and half vegetable. You can add flavorings to your mayonnaise.

Happy Birthday, Abigail!!!

Am I, uhghin, not playing well with others? I can take it. Tell me. One moe clue... Another thing Gus said on his dying bed is: "It is dangerous trying to write to two women. I'm so lightheaded I can't remember...which one... Here this one is for Laurie, and this is for Claire."

TCM, Turner Classic Movies, just finished a month of Oscars. There were so many wonderful movies I had never seen before. Finally, I watched North By Northwest in its entirety. One night, Lassie Come Home and National Velvet came on back to back. I was in movie hog heaven. My youngest pokes fun at me saying, "The only movies mom likes are in black and white."

Sowee, been busy with work to check back and give another clue. "What do you want legs for anyway? You don't do nothin but sit on the porch and drink whiskey." "I like to kick a pig every once in a while. How would I do that?" As Gus is dying, he looks at his best life long friend and says, "Uuoohhh, Woodrow it has been one hell of a party."

These findings are fascinating and intriguing. Oh, to discover this history. Thanks for your info about the food coupons. I had no idea. I will most definitely start to clip and send. Any and all for our military!

Ice Age?

Lion King?

now I see, thank you so much for posting the links for making butter. Now folks know how simple and sooooo much cheaper it is to make our own right at home. As far as flavor and taste are concerned, there is no comparison between the store bought and homemade. The health food store was once out of yogurt so I bought and used sour cream. I drained the liquid before using. A teenie bit different consistency (probably me) but it was just as good. Do you make your own mayonnaise? We could talk some mayonnaise, honey.

Doojable said, "....and speaking out against any form of group think that is imposed on us, both individually and collectively." You go, sister honey girlfriend!!!!!

Mr. P, I wish I knew how to post links. I hope you can find it. A Football Game Gives Hope-tangle.com Brought me and all I have forwarded it to to tears. They have even called to talk about it. Thank you, Mr. P. sportsmanship is alive.
