Organic and delicious!
These crunchy, fruity, oaty biscuits are entirely organic and are made by one of our favourite bakeries.
We love a bit of historical romance here at BienManger, and legend has it that the Marquise de Sablé presented a plate of little biscuits to the brother of the King of France. The prince was so taken with the lady's gift that he ordered the Royal baker to prepare a plate of them every morning.
Madame la Marquise made her name, as did the biscuits, which became known as Sablés, and everyone lived happily ever after (well, until tea time was over, anyway).
Composition :
wheat flour, muesli 19.9%, golden cane sugar, non hydrogenated vegetable fat, malt syrup, eggs, bicarbonate of ammonium, salt, natural organic vanilla flavouring, powdered skimmed milk.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority recently announced that a joint venture composed of Tutor Perini, Zachry Construction and Parsons has provided the apparent best value proposal for the initial design-build construction package of California's high-speed rail system located in the Central Valley. The Authority received four other proposals from Dragados/Samsung/Pulice (composed of Dragados SA; Samsung C&T America and Pulice Construction), California Backbone Builders (composed of Ferrovial Argoman and Acciona), California High-Speed Rail Partners (composed of Fluor, Skanska and PCL Constructors) and California High-Speed Ventures (composed of Kiewit Infrastructure West, Granite Construction and COMSA EMTE USA). The apparent best value scores are shown in the table below:
The apparent best value selection was based 70 percent on price and 30 percent on technical scores. The Tutor Perini/Zachry/Parsons proposal price of $985,142,530 was also the lowest price proposal. The apparent best value proposal price was also significantly below the Authority's cost estimate of between $1.2 and 1.8 billion. While the initial determination of the apparent best value proposer has been made, the procurement remains in progress. If the Authority is unable to reach a final contract with Tutor Perini/Zachry/Parsons, the Authority may continue the procurement with the next most highly ranked proposer.
Please see the Authority's website for further information.

Settlement proposed to magistrate judge
Display comments as
(Linear | Threaded)
03/13/14 at 07:18 PM
Just can't admit you were wrong can you commissioners. Let it go, settle with the judge as the Ga. Supreme Court ruled. Now I know why you are having such a hard time with the animal shelter, you all have a little "pit bull" in you and just can't let go once you have something in your jaws. How is it going to help Pike County if you make our magistrate judge take 348 hours off that she could be using to administer justice in our county? I think you should be classified with the "Pit bull" as a clear and present danger to our community !

Saotome Taichi & Nishiyama Maki to marry + expecting a baby
On April 17th, stage actor Saotome Taichi and model Nishiyama Maki announced that they are planning to register their marriage in June. They also revealed that Nishiyama is currently in the third month of pregnancy.
They wrote, "First of all, we would like to sincerely apologize for causing such trouble to everybody," regarding the series of reports about them.
Then they revealed that they started their relationship in June the year before last, and eventually started living together.
They continued, "In the beginning of this year, we both kept our distance from each other. Though it was reported that we ended our relationship, we had not completely broken up. While supporting each other, we went back to living together soon after. Since every report on our relationship got quite big, people might have a negative image toward us, but our lives are very steady."
According to the announcement, the couple have been dating with a view of marriage ever since they started their relationship, which was also recognized officially by both of their agencies, and Nishiyama is now in the third month of pregnancy. They said, "Even though the order (of the marriage process) is reversed, we both feel gratitude and joy toward the new member of the family. We are planning to register our marriage sometime in June."
The couple concluded the announcement with, "We would appreciate your continuous support."

CONTENTS | PREV | NEXT | Java Object Serialization Specification version 6.0 |
The stream format satisfies the following design goals:
A class object is represented by the following:
An ObjectStreamClass
object for a Class that is not a dynamic proxy class is represented by the following:
method, and whether the class is serializable, externalizable, or an enum type
") as specified in The Java Virtual Machine Specification.
of its supertype (null if the superclass is not serializable)
An ObjectStreamClass
object for a dynamic proxy class is represented by the following:
method on the Class object.
objects consists of length information followed by the contents of the string encoded in modified UTF-8. The modified UTF-8 encoding is the same as used in the Java Virtual Machine and in the java.io.DataInput
and DataOutput
interfaces; it differs from standard UTF-8 in the representation of supplementary characters and of the null character. The form of the length information depends on the length of the string in modified UTF-8 encoding. If the modified UTF-8 encoding of the given String
is less than 65536 bytes in length, the length is written as 2 bytes representing an unsigned 16-bit integer. Starting with the Java 2 platform, Standard Edition, v1.3, if the length of the string in modified UTF-8 encoding is 65536 bytes or more, the length is written in 8 bytes representing a signed 64-bit integer. The typecode preceding the String
in the serialization stream indicates which format was used to write the String
.Arrays are represented by the following:
Enum constants are represented by the following:
New objects in the stream are represented by the following:
methods, there may be optional objects and/or block-data records of primitive types written by the writeObject
method followed by an endBlockData
code.All primitive data written by classes is buffered and wrapped in block-data records, regardless if the data is written to the stream within a writeObject
method or written directly to the stream from outside a writeObject
method. This data can only be read by the corresponding readObject
methods or be read directly from the stream. Objects written by the writeObject
method terminate any previous block-data record and are written either as regular objects or null or back references, as appropriate. The block-data records allow error recovery to discard any optional data. When called from within a class, the stream can discard any data or objects until the endBlockData
takes as a parameter the protocol version to use to write the serialization stream.The Stream Protocol Versions are as follows:
: Indicates the initial stream format.
: Indicates the new external data format. Primitive data is written in block data mode and is terminated with TC_ENDBLOCKDATA.
Block data boundaries have been standardized. Primitive data written in block data mode is normalized to not exceed 1024 byte chunks. The benefit of this change was to tighten the specification of serialized data format within the stream. This change is fully backward and forward compatible.
JDK 1.1 defaults to writing PROTOCOL_VERSION_1
JDK 1.1.7 and greater can read both versions.
Releases prior to JDK 1.1.7 can only read PROTOCOL_VERSION_1
The table below contains the grammar for the stream format. Nonterminal symbols are shown in italics. Terminal symbols in a fixed width font. Definitions of nonterminals are followed by a ":". The definition is followed by one or more alternatives, each on a separate line. The following table describes the notation:
Note that the symbol (utf) is used to designate a string written using 2-byte length information, and (long-utf) is used to designate a string written using 8-byte length information. For details, refer to Section 6.2, "Stream Elements".
A Serialized stream is represented by any stream satisfying the stream rule.

Connecticut Birding Hot Spots
The following locations are consistently good birding spots. The variety and number of bird sightings may vary by season, but each offers its own special experience. There are many other productive sites in Connecticut. The books cited at the bottom of this page provide a rich source for planning birding outings.
Hammonasset Beach State Park, Madison, CT
Located on the Connecticut shoreline between Madison and Clinton. Take exit 62 off I-95, head south 1.5 miles to Park entrance. This peninsula location provides a resting spot for migrating birds. Best in fall, winter and spring for gulls, terns, water, shore, marsh, and land birds.
White Memorial Foundation
Located about 2 miles southeast of Litchfield on Route 202 in the Northwest hills of Connecticut. The 4,440 acre preserve includes a museum, river/streams, marsh, ponds, forest and numerous hiking trails roads. Water, marsh, shore and land birds provide for excellent birding in any season.
Lighthouse Point Park New Haven, CT
Located at the tip of the eastern shore of New Haven Harbor. Take exit 50 from I95 south 0.2mile, right on Woodward Ave. (becomes Fort Hale Park Rd.), right onto Townsend Ave. right on Lighthouse Rd to the park entrance. The Point extends into the harbor, is on the coastal migration route and affords excellent birding, especially during fall hawk migration.

In this contemporary redesign, architect Jane Treacy not only honored the homeowners' request to retain their kitchen's outdoor view, she worked with contractor Carl Petty to improve it. By creating a more open floor plan, Treacy was able to incorporate an existing dining room into a larger, more modern kitchen.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and 8-foot-wide sliders seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing diners to enjoy the peaceful view of a waterfall and koi pond located at the rear of the property. Seating at a center kitchen island was designed to face the koi pond. A separate built-in-breakfast banquette faces a scenic woodland outlook for an alternate view.
The new floor plan also opens up the area between the kitchen and the double-height living room. Its more cohesive design gives the illusion of outdoor living from the comfort of indoors. The use of earth tones, a neutral color palette, and natural materials, such as hardwood and granite, combined with carefully-selected artwork, allow the koi pond and wooded surroundings to shine as the main focal points.
See more photos of the kitchen and more winners of the 2015 Remodeling Design Awards.

Painterly Rendering using Image Salience

The contribution of this paper is a novel nonphotorealistic rendering (NPR) technique, capable of producing an artificial ?hand-painted? effect on 2D images, such as photographs. Our method requires no user interaction, and makes use of image salience and gradient information to determine the implicit ordering and attributes of individual brush strokes. The benefits of our technique are complete automation, and mitigation against the loss of image detail during painting. Strokes from lower salience regions of the image do not encroach upon higher salience regions; this can occur with some existing painting methods.We describe our algorithm in detail, and illustrate its application with a gallery of images.

Pia Toscano the Ballad Beauty
Will Pia Toscano perform another ballad on American Idol tonight?
This is a big week for Pia Toscano on American Idol. For the last few weeks she has blown the roof off the building with big, powerful ballads that really showcased her voice. The judges have showered her with praise and during this time she has set herself up as one of the clear favorites to win the competition. But the judges have said a few times they want to see her do something a little more up tempo. Last week she promised that she would do so this week. Tonight we should get see how well she does at that.
It is Elton John week on American Idol so Pia Toscano has plenty of up tempo songs to choose from. Rehearsals where once again held behind closed doors so we can only guess at what songs the contestants will sing, but I have a feeling that Pia will deliver on her promise to go up tempo and tackle the classic "Benny and the Jets." It is fast, fun and will let her cut loose. Even if she doesn't to that well at it, I think she has been impressive enough so far that she will not suffer for one bad performance. She can afford to take a risk and this is the perfect song to do so on.
Pia Toscano will take the Idol stage tonight as she attempts to sing Elton John at 8|7c on FOX.

Recently demoted Dodgers starter Odalis Perez, that's who. Advertisement [Perez] stopped his O's 45's program, in which he bought 45 tickets for inner-city school children to attend his starts, after losing his starting job. He said he would not reinstate the program now that he is starting again because he felt he never got enough credit from the club or the public for his charitable contributions. "When you spend your own money you want to be recognized for that," Perez said. "I don't want to be a hero, but just pay more attention to what I'm doing. People don't want to give me the recognition for it."You know what? We actually find this somewhat refreshing. For all the athletes who talk about all the charity work they do but aren't looking for publicity for it — while of course telling us all about it — here's one who makes no bones about it: He does charity work for the good publicity, and if he doesn't get the good publicity, he's not doing it. There's a consistency there that we admire. And besides, kids: You don't want Dodger tickets anyway. The beer is never cold enough.

Victor-Marie Hugo was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France.
In France, Hugo's literary reputation rests primarily on his poetic and dramatic output and only secondarily on his novels. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Légende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris .

(178 quotes found)
"We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer."
Victor Hugo
"Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart."
"A little girl without a doll is almost as unfortunate and quite as impossible as a woman without children."
"Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect. Whether in the synagogue, the mosque, the pagoda, or the wigwam, there is a hideous aspect which we execrate and a sublime aspect which we venerate. So great a subject for spiritual contemplation, such measureless dreaming -- the echo of God on the human wall!"
"Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who kn"
"If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence."
"In vain we chisel, as best we can, the mysterious block of which our life is made, the black vein of destiny reappears continually."
"One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other."
"Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood."
"It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life."

Financial regulators originally questioned the former JP Morgan rainmaker Ian Hannam under caution because they believed he may have committed a criminal offence, it emerged yesterday.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said its predecessor, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), had investigated "the possibility that Mr Hannam was guilty of a criminal offence".
No criminal charges were ever brought against Mr Hannam who, the regulator claimed yesterday, is now attempting to use "ingenious legal arguments" to overturn a £450,000 market-abuse fine levied by the FCA.
In its closing written submission in a High Court case, the FCA argued that each of Hannam's arguments "fails on its terms".
The former JP Morgan Cazenove banker and ex-SAS reservist is appealing against FCA findings that he disclosed inside information about a possible takeover of a client, Heritage Oil, and an oil discovery, in emails from 2008. Mr Hannam argued that he might have made up details in the takeover email, meaning he would not have passed on inside information.
The FCA claimed this was "a remarkable position to adopt". Its closing statement added: "The impression Mr Hannam gives is of a man with considerable personal charisma, but... is rather loose in what he says."
Mr Hannam, who was disciplined by JP Morgan in 2009 around the time the FSA began its investigation, denies the statements in the emails constituted inside information and argues that the disclosures were made in the course of his work and for the benefit of the client.
In a rival submission, lawyers acting on behalf of the 57-year-old said: "Mr Hannam honestly believed, and had every reason to believe, that these emails did not amount to market abuse in circumstances where they were sent in confidence to an individual trusted by and known to his client, who understood his responsibilities in relation to potentially sensitive information.
"For these reasons, Mr Hannam respectfully invites the tribunal to direct the authority to discontinue its action against him, alternatively, to direct that no penalty be imposed."
Hannam quit his job as chairman of capital markets at JP Morgan to clear his name and is seeking to restore his reputation with an appeal, which began in July, against the fine
The case is being closed watched across the Square Mile because it is a high-profile test for the FCA's tactic of targeting big names to fight market abuse, following the strategy of US regulators.

Personally, I've seen demos of pretty much all the SD tools available today, and most of the HD ones as well. Trade shows and special press meetings afford us those opportunities, and be it a high-end system from the likes of Sony, Avid or Quantel, or a lower-cost application from Adobe, Apple and Ulead (or Sony and Avid too), all of them have left me saying to myself, "Pretty cool!"
That being the case, I can't imagine having to pick just one if I had to. Yet, everyday, that?s a decision a typical facility is faced with.
Last month, in this space, I reported on LA Digital Post's new New York operation. The facility/rental house invested heavily in Avid systems - 40 of them - most on the PC platform. So how did they make the decision to go with PC-based Avid Meridien and Adrenalines?
VP/GM Jason Dunkel says it was their clients that ultimately dictated what they would buy. As an operation that caters to editors, many of their customers are freelancers hired through production companies. These freelancers tend to be Avid knowledgeable, says Dunkel, so that manufacturer's releases were a natural decision. But why PC? While the Mac is a popular choice for Avid systems because of the company's history, Dunkel says LA Digital first adopted Symphony on PC and later found the Adrenaline PC systems worked a little better than their Mac counterparts.
Lucha Libre is another facility whose business is based around nonlinear editing systems. The studio recently set up shop in Santa Monica - with plans to expand to New York and Miami too - and is specifically targeting the Hispanic commercial market with creative editorial services. Founded by Natalia Berry, Lucha Libre is home to several Apple Final Cut Pro systems, even though its veteran editors have deep-rooted experience with Avid NLEs. "I feel it?s a bit more intuitive and versatile," says Berry of Final Cut Pro. "And by the time you trick it out, it's nowhere near what a maxed out Avid costs."
Berry sounded pretty comfortable with her decision to go with Final Cut.
"We're having success with it."

Authors and Artists for Young Adults on E. L. Konigsburg
An impressive figure in children's literature, E. L. Konigsburg has the distinction of being the first and possibly only author to have had two books on the Newbery Honor list at the same time. From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler won the 1968 Newbery Medal and Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth was a runner-up for the award in the same year. Konigsburg has also won not one but two of the coveted Newbery Medals, capturing the 1997 award for The View from Saturday. Known for her witty and often self-illustrated works for young people, Konigsburg has carved out a unique niche with her collection of published books, generally writing out of personal experience, but sometimes also venturing into the medieval world or the period of the Renaissance. As Perry Nodelman noted in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, Konigsburg is an innovator and tireless experimenter...

Fantastic shot, and wonderful costume! It's a great combination of the pair, and you look downright frightening!
Great shot!
Beautiful composition in it's eerie way. I adore the fact that you went with authentic materials, i.e. the things the real Scarecrow would have used. That elevates this costume to the next level.

New! Ruger Mk II/Mk III Bumper Magazines by Majestic... Click Here!
Ruger MK Speed Strip Conversion Kits...Quick and Easy Disassembly of Ruger MK .22 PistolsThese new Speed Strip conversion kits make disassembly of your Ruger Mk .22 Pistol easy and quick. No more busted fingernails and frustration with the original factory grip lever disassembly process.With the Speed Strip Kit installed, disassembly is a simple process to unscrew the bolt stop pin and remove the bolt. The video (right) demon-strates it better than any words we could write in this space. Three Different Models... Here's How to Choose:If you have a Ruger Mk I, MkII, or Mk II 22/45, get the "Original" Kit or the "Mk III 3.2 Upgrade" Kit for improvements in trigger performance.If you have a Mk III or Mk III 22/45, you have two choices: The "Basic Mk III" Kit for the Speed Strip conversion. Or, the "Mk III 3.2 Conversion" for Speed Strip conversion with Magazine Disconnect omission. (The Mk III 3.2 Conversion actually works in Mk I and Mk II as well as Mk III pistols. The 3.2 bushing gives improved trigger performance in all three.) More on the Mk III 3.2 Conversion Kit...Ruger Mk III pistols have a politically mandated "Magazine Disconnect" feature that prohibits the gun from firing when the magazine is removed. This feature has some negative affects on the trigger pull and causes the magazine to drag when removed (rather than dropping out freely).The Mk III 3.2 Conversion Kit safely omits the magazine disconnect feature from MK III pistols (and installs the Speed Strip capability). This kit will also upgrade a Mk I to a Mk II hammer system and the 3.2 bushing will improve the trigger performance of Mk I, Mk II, Mk III, and both Mk II and Mk III 22/45 pistols. Confused? Order the Mk III 3.2 Conversion... It works for everything! |

More Background Information on Speed Strip Conversion KitsAnyone familiar with the Ruger .22 auto pistols knows it is extremely difficult to field strip and reassemble... NOT ANY MORE! Majestic Arms is the manufacturer and patent holder of The Speed Strip Kit for all Ruger .22 Auto Pistols. Now improved, when installed, the Speed Strip Kit also reduces your trigger pull to 3 ½ to 3 ¾ lb. in a factory original Ruger .22 Auto Pistol. (U.S. Patent #5,666,755) The Speed Strip conversion is a simple retrofit kit that enables you to readily convert any Ruger .22 auto pistol in existence to the new system in a matter of minutes. This patented retrofit kit will work on any Ruger .22 auto pistol (Standard, MK I, MK II, MK III, and 22/45). This conversion DOES NOT require any special tools or modifications to the pistol, nor does it interfere with any of its normal functions. Anyone with basic hand tool skills can perform the conversion in about 15 minutes. Each kit comes with 3 pages of easy to understand illustrated instructions (click the PDF above).The Speed Strip Kit consists of a new patented 2-piece bolt stop pin and precision machined hammer. Once you have installed your Speed Strip Kit, all you need to do is to unscrew the new bolt stop pin with your Allen key (supplied) and remove it from the top of the pistol. Then you can slide the bolt out for cleaning. It's that simple! The newest Speed Strip Kit is called the 3.2 Conversion Kit. This Kit will fit any of the Ruger .22 Auto Pistols and allows MK III owners to safely omit the magazine disconnect feature. This Kit is supplied with a new hammer pivot bushing which as an added benefit will reduce the pre-travel of the trigger by 65%. Using the Volquartsen Trigger with Your Speed Strip Kit... Comment by Dino LongueiraHi Eben, We are often asked the question if the Majestic Arms Speed Strip kit can be used in unison with a Volquartsen sear and hammer kit. The answer is yes with an explanation. When a Speed strip kit is installed in a pistol already equipped with Volquartsen parts the trigger pull with be virtually the same, within a couple of ounces. Volquartsen however has changed the geometry of the parts which causes the hammer to sit taller into the receiver tube than would be normal. The Majestic Arms hammer has a radiused upper corner so the bolt will engage the radius and cam over the hammer upon reinserting the bolt into the receiver tube. When a Volquartsen sear is used the hammer will sit too tall for the bolt to cam over, thereby making it necessary to slide the bolt into the receiver tube until it engages the hammer, at this point you will need to slightly depress the hammer to allow the bolt to be reinstalled into the receiver tube. This is easily accomplished by inserting an implement such as a screwdriver thru the ejection port and depressing the hammer. This is still much simpler than the original method designed by Ruger.(With regard to trigger mods other than Volquartsen...) If a gunsmith has done a freestyle trigger job then there are to many wild cards in the deck to formulate a proper answer. I hope this helps you and once again thank you for your business. Thanks, Dino |
Bumper Magazines for Ruger Mk II and IIIMajestic Arms has re-thought the Ruger Mk II and III magazine design and came up with an improved version. First of all, its a Universal magazine... Meaning that it fits BOTH the Ruger Mk II and Mk III pistols... No more getting them mixed up. And second, they all come standard with an extended magazine base pad.Magazine Base Pads are common in action pistol shooting because they give more reliable seating of magazines under speed loading situations. But with the Ruger Mk II and Mk III pistols, these magazine base pads are especially nice due to the recessed design of the original Ruger Mk II and Mk III magazine system. Twin Pack Includes Free Loader - If you order the Twin Pack you get 2 magazines PLUS a Free loading tool AND... You Save a Bunch of Money! ORDER INFO Universal Magazine, Single or Twin Pack...

text: Question for Married/LTR ParentsRedWriter2/27/14 10:36pmFiled to: Question Time!821EditPromoteShare to KinjaGo to permalinkNo disrespect to single/divorced parents of course. UPDATE: I appreciate everyone's input. Somehow the discussion got nothing but religious responses. While this is nice, I was would like non-religious examples as well. Advertisement In one of my classes, I was having a discussion with some people about growing up in a household by parents who hold different religious beliefs. This led to having parents with different views of discipline, expectations, etc., and a lot of them said their parents ended up divorcing because of it.First off, any type of being coming from my loins is not in my foreseeable future and if and when I marry my boyfriend and if and when we decide to have children, I'm sure that different views will arise. For instance, I love studying religion and while not religious myself, ideally, I would like to for my hypothetical children to have knowledge as many as possible before making the decision on whether which one (if any) they want to follow (sounds easier in theory, I know.) My boyfriend? He's agnostic. He'll talk about it with me from a historical view but that's about it. Advertisement So, assuming that you did talk to your partner about children: how many you both want, where to raise them, how to raise them, what you're keeping from your upbringing and what you're throwing away, what do you do when shit happens? I'm reminded of Garden State when Zach Braff's character paralyzes his mother when he's younger (oops...spoiler!) and his dad puts him on Lithium to "mellow" him out (ok, so nothing that extreme but you know what I mean.)If you and your partner are feeling strongly about opposite courses of action with your kid, how do/would you handle it?Reply82 repliesLeave a reply

Imagine I am drawing a picture of you as you
lie awake, watching
You are partly covered by a fortunate sheet bare feet crossed at the ankle There is a sleepy ceiling fan stirring some air spinning the red shoelace we use as a cord
A few doors down a talented and depressed neighbor plays his cello heartfelt music drifts skyward in the damp night air I draw some of those invisible notes on your back Imagine.

Hello Folks!
I don't know about you but I'm getting excited for the Annual Backyard Plant Sale which is happening the last two days of April (April 29 4pm to dark and April 30 9am-1pm). This weekend I hope to be a busy bee in preparation. If you have any plants, that would be a great time to drop them off — just leave them on my front porch.
By the way, I got two truckloads of tulips from Lewis Ginter which I will be giving away! If they come up next year you are welcome to make a donation then.
Please email me at email@example.com with any questions. 🙂

I make my own beer. Then I drink it. In fact, I'm probably drinking some right now...
Oh, haha, these are excellent! The Jurassic Park brew intrigues me the most, haha! Wonder what the bottle of that brew would've looked like if you had time to create one. Seems like you're having a lot of fun brewing your own beer! "Everybody likes their own brand," is what they say, of course! Haha!
ReplyDeleteGreat, some pretty creative labels :) !
I've made my own wine, never came to beer yet, should give it a try next year.
Cheers and skoal !

1 1/2 to 2lbs of lean ground beef or turkey (this particular time I used 1.85lbs)
1 onion, chopped
3 cans of ranch style beans
1 can of corn
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of rotel
1 small can (8 oz) tomato sauce
3 C water
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 packet of ranch dip mix
Garnishes to throw on top (optional)(cilantro, lime, sour cream, shredded cheese)
Brown meat, drain off any grease. Add all other ingredients, simmer for 20 to 30 minutes (perfect amount of time to whip up some cornbread).
*This time I bought the "Mexican" variety of all the canned items (rotel, diced tomatoes, corn, & even the beans) and it gave it a little extra kick.
* I do know that pretty much the main difference in my version versus the WW one is that their recipe calls for only 1 lb of meat. Everything else is pretty much the same, minus any garnishes.
