Never thought of Monopoly until I came here. Got the starred clues from the perps but they didn't give me the theme; it took awhile to figure out how the theme and long clues went together.<br /><br />The local PBS station is playing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show so I'm going to watch in a few minutes while I make some dinner. I have a friend who was in the audience the night that show was taped. She says her throat was so sore from screaming that she couldn't talk for awhile.<br /><br />We always grew a lot (too much) corn on the farm where I grew up so we often made corn fritters. We would put the water up to boil, then go out to the garden to pick the corn. White corn wasn't popular until later and the yellow kind lost its sweetness very fast so we had to get it right from the field into the pot for it to taste good. The kernels were cut off any ears that were left over and used for fritters. I think we used Bisquick for the batter and cooked them in an electric deep fryer. A special meal was fried fish (home breaded) but we usually ate healthier stuff.MamaRuth1950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-45430707545338557642009-12-03T14:35:13.583-06:002009-12-03T14:35:13.583-06:00The Fiesta Bowl is in Glendale,AZThe Fiesta Bowl is in Glendale,AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-40435241083008672672009-12-02T23:02:46.545-06:002009-12-02T23:02:46.545-06:00Jeannie, you are one of the reasons I love this bl...Jeannie, you are one of the reasons I love this blog.

I never considered leaving it, okay maybe once, but was wondering if perhaps my recipe posts were not welcome. I really don't know how to set up my own blog and thought that a shoot off from C.C.'s was taboo. I guess C.C. this is your call, but I need help. Hey, don't we all.

Your site would have an automatic fanbase, and I have friends who would love it too, without having to wade through our debates on whether _____ is a word or if ____ is a nifty theme or not. Yes, blogging is a little work, but you already have a great backlog of recipes to copy/paste in if you're so inclined. I personally enjoy your posts here, those with a recipe and those without.PJB-Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442942109541224252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-2744603036045410612009-12-02T20:50:54.450-06:002009-12-02T20:50:54.450-06:00Jeannie,

Favorite clues were 20A: "Match starter", and 23A: "Veiled consent".<br /><br />@C.C.-I don't think HEDDA Gabler is particularly famous, but it is a play for which Henrik Ibsen, a Norwegian playwright, is well known. This was a gimme for me--read/studied/critiqued it in college and later saw a production. Quite honestly I don't remember the story line well, but remember the title and author.<br /><br />Breakfast today was a bowl of cottage cheese--Knudsen's Low-Fat--(important). We buy it at Costco and usually go through the three pound container in less than a week.<br /><br />Cheers to all!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409431043640770889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-4790165264764332142009-12-02T20:20:02.740-06:002009-12-02T20:20:02.740-06:00Jeannie, I think a few of the peeps have spoken, ...Jeannie, I think a few of the peeps have spoken, I will bet more will follow.....Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239009770443002740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-10128955044352881602009-12-02T19:56:20.775-06:002009-12-02T19:56:20.775-06:00Hey PJB - no problem:) I can see you are a peanut...Hey PJB - no problem:) I can see you are a peanut butter lover too.

Often it's unflavored kefir (like yogurt) with berries and piece of banana with some cereal or muesli thrown in. In a hurry, I eat sliced apple with peanutbutter (a favorite snack too) or a wholegrain pita with either tahini or peanutbutter, with jam. Love a good fritatta, a BLT or b'fast burrito on the weekend.<br /><br />@ Jeannie: Yum on the blueberry objects! I second Robin's vote for you doing a food blog. I read lots of recipes and am not offering idle compliments to say yours are among the best: unfussy, clear, and tasty. Just one recipe a week, even, would work! We have several bloggers here who might help with the setup.<br /><br />RHODA was a very funny show at times. Julie Kavner's voice work on TV ("Family Guy" or "Simpsons"?) is right up there, too. Most of the TV comedies except for The Office and 30 Rock seem too formulaic. I'm waiting to see the character DWIGHT to pop up in a puzzle someday! Too obscure, maybe.PJB-Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442942109541224252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-75543053789057232652009-12-02T19:36:46.980-06:002009-12-02T19:36:46.980-06:00@warren Thank you, sir.

Here is my take on it. <br />1 1/2 lb ground chuck <br />1/2 lb ground pork <br />4 strips of bacon <br />1 medium onion diced fine <br />1 cup shitake mushrooms diced fine (secret ingredient) <br />1 clove of garlic minced <br />1/2 cup of bread crumbs <br />1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese<br /> 2 medium eggs <br />1/4 cup of ketchup (I am guessing here as I just squirt some in) <br />A couple shakes of the bottle of Worcester sauce <br />A few drops of soy sauce <br />Black Pepper to your liking <br />3 sprigs of thyme (strip the leaves) or 'i4 tsp dried thyme <br /><br />Saute the onions, mushrooms, and garlic in some butter until they are soft and the onions are translucent. Set aside to cool. <br />In a large bowl combine all the other ingredients except for the bacon strips. Work in the onion/mushroom mixture and form into a loaf. Place in a 9x13 glass baking dish and drape the bacon slices over the top. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours at 350.
