Welcome back!

Yes, I have said that many times. Sometimes, pets can be just like kids in that they do not want to share toys, plates, people, pillows…..the list goes on.

Just yesterday, I found myself saying the title phrase to our youngest cat. She is 3, the older (much smaller) cat is 6, and very jealous. Well, I had put out some food for the both of them and found one eating some from both sides. I guess she was putting her mark on both. The other cat was asleep and didn’t see this happening.

With cats, dogs, what ever type of pet, you have some of the same kinks that can be found with siblings, but charges for going to college, though. At times, it can be hilarious.

I mentioned a Strawberry Daquari Ice. Now, I am thinking, where did it start?

I figure that a Pina Colada probably started in the tropics somewhere, but strawberries? How far would someone have to travel to get there and what about getting travel insurance online in order to go?

Knowing the way that things happen, I would only need to travel to the southern part of the US for something about strawberries. At least going to the origin of the Pina Colada could get me to the Bahamas or even Hawaii.

Have you ever had something just trigger your laugh button? You know, you look at something and the next thing you know is that you are laughing?

It happens to me sometimes. One of the last times was just today. A friend needs someone to drive her to the doctor since she is in considerable pain all of the time, and I like to go along and try to cheer her up. Well, after the doctor visit we went to a nearby restaurant that has happy hour. They have a snack bar with different things on it for free, and all that you do is pay for what you are drinking. Whether it is a diet soda or something else, the food is free. The drinks are at a reasonable price, too.

Well, I do not drink alcohol (being diabetic) but I do get curious over the fancy types of cocktails that some people will get, so I asked for a Strawberry Daquari Ice with no alcohol. When I looked at the ticket it was called a ‘virgin’. When I read that I found myself laughing because I hadn’t expected to see that word on the ticket. Fresh strawberries, crushed ice and very tasty. How amazing that it also came with a laugh, too.:)

i just read a blog that makes me angry.

A principal at a high school is playing God with some student’s lives. The school get money for a lunch programs for needy students. The principal decided for her own reasons to deny them the lunch that was already paid for by tax payers.

At least one parent protested this thievery by the principal. My Single Mom Life is the name of the blog that contains the article. Her son is now getting the food that was already paid for by the tax payers. I wonder about the other students that were stolen from. It is upsetting.

This is not what I call education.

I remember the grapefruit diet, the hot dog diet, the protein diet, the low carb diet, the high carb diet, the I’ll eat anything diet…..I guess you get the idea.

These days many are concerned about the best diet pill available. There are so many pills and diets out there that the list can be seemingly endless. What ever way that you decide to take to lose weight, do not go nuts. A balanced diet, exercise, if you are able to do it, and caution , helps. Some diet pills are said to be a great help, so do not be afraid to check out all of the options when you do decide to diet. One thing that has always bothered me is that some diets are only temporary, some should become a way of life. The individual choices are up to you. You should find the one that is easiest and most healthful for you. Me, I’ll keep trying.

Necessities indeed. Food , shelter, transportation, medicine or medical care, loving family. All of those have proven to be necessities in the long run. With all of the scurrying that has been going on for the past two weeks, some things have been made very apparent to me.

Our friend traveled all over the country. We have found papers from many different states. He, himself did not have any idea where his family members were living, and trying to find even one of them…well, it hasn’t happened. We have had loving family around us as we have gone through all of the brouhaha with the rules concerning his care, and burial, and research galore. Thank God our family has stuck by us even when we were not able to socialize because of exhaustion. It will take a while to recover fully and finally get rested. I am just glad that we were able to be there for him.

Please don’t think that I am preaching, but if you have lost track of family, look for them while you can. All of my family except that which I have by marriage is dead except for my mother, whom I cannot find. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that I do not lose contact with what family I have left. Their presence is a comfort to me, now. We do not always agree on everything (heaven forbid), but they are important.

I like food. Many times someone has asked what type of food I like. I’m afraid my answer is that it would easier to say what I did not like than to list the things that I do like.

My list of food I do not like includes: tentacles, oysters, jalapeños, asparagus, and boiled okra. I like fried okra, and okra in stews and soups, and gumbo. I have eaten buffalo, bear, duck, rabbit, squirrel, lobster, and other items. However, the list of food I like is still not so easy to list. What is nice, is that the world is filled with so many choices. It keeps life from getting boring. Isn’t it great that the world is also filled with a lot of different types of people, too.

Just read something that I thought was unusual and hilarious.

It involves 11 dozen eggs. I wish that I knew a lot of recipes for eggs other than cakes and stuff. If it was Easter, there would be no problem knowing what to do.

How many egg recipes are there anyway? This writer seems to know how to laugh at life. These days - that is important. When I read what happened, I couldn’t help myself, but guffaw, and then snicker. Of course I’ve never done anything like that….Ahem. Well, not with eggs. I have had many a disaster. So far, I have survived.

I was wondering what to fix for supper. Didn’t want the usual type of thing. The usual being sandwiches of one type or another.

What do my eyes show me? Italian recipes and some pictures. They look yummy. I can imagine my waist slowly wanting to inch outward, my mouth was watering. That is what would be good for supper.

The only trouble that I can see is the lack of all of the proper ingredients. What i could see was wonderful looking. My idea of a simple ‘Italian” is some cooked macaroni, spaghetti sauce, browned meat - dump together and call it Goulash. That is not Italian by the way. I call it ‘dump-it’ cooking. It works for me, but for those of you who are adventurous, check out the link above for great tasting food.

That word can be fun or dangerous. Well, today I’m going for fun. My sister and I communicate all the time even though she lives in Arkansas.

One thing she does a lot is send me recipes over the internet. When I look at the pictures or read the list of ingredients, my stomach starts to growl and it stirs up my imagination. It is so much fun to read what she will send each time, and some of her comments are hilarious. One of my favorite comments is - Bwahahaha. In other words, uncontrolled laughter.:)

There isn’t enough laughter in this world of ours, so any excuse to laugh makes the world brighter. Some of the sites have such beautiful pictures of what is to be fixed that they should be in picture frames. Just think of it, an art gallery filled with yummy pictures of tasty food. Of course if you could find a way to give the art gallery the scent of wonderful food, any restaurants in the neighborhood would get a lot of business after each visitor leaves. Now that would really be fun temptation !
