My
Rambling Thoughts
Nice Sat. as we
prepare for….wait for it…another little snowstorm…tomorrow. We need the
moisture!
Not the least bit
surprised that 45 pulled back on his tough NRA talk. The leader just says
whatever fits the situation and seems to have no underlying philosophy as to
where we are headed. A leader who believes all publicity is good. So
frightening.
Thank you FB for
showing me two great recipes recently. I have always loved my mom’s meatloaf
recipe…Campbell’s tomato soup, egg, Saltine cracker crumbs, hamburger and
sausage. But I found on that is even better…hamburger, sausage, box of Stuffing
mix (I used the herb one) and a cup of milk. It is fantastic. The second one is a corn casserole with corn,
cream of corn, Jiffy Cornbread mix, and sour cream. Soooooooo good. Guess I’m
still not too old to find something new.

Disclaimer: All opinions are mine…feel
free to agree or disagree.
All ‘data’ info is from the internet
sites and is usually checked with at least one other source, but I have learned
that every site contains mistakes and sadly once the information is out there,
many sites simply copy it and is therefore difficult to verify. Also for events
occurring before the Gregorian calendar was adopted [1582] the dates may not be
totally accurate.
