Saute three strips of bacon cut up with a small onion, green pepper, cut up mushrooms (I used buttons) in butter and one clove of garlic chopped. Scramble 4 lg eggs with cream, milk...whatever you have. Steam 1/2 head of broccoli, and 1/2 head of cauliflower (cover your ears Dennis) Let the vegies and bacon mixture cool. Mix in with the egg mix. 9x13 pan...layer the bottom with 1 lb shredded swiss. Pour the combined concoction, bake 350 degrees 40 min top with shredded sharp cheddar.

Beautiful puzzle...Hello CC, Lemonade 714 and folk,<br /><br />Beautiful puzzle, Young Mr. Stein Berg and a fun, clear, informative write up, not so young Lemonade 714!<br /><br />I had 3 words that bothered me. <br /><br />Stere. As Lemonade 714 pointed out, we use cord as a wood measure. I bought a half cord of wood cut up for burning in a fire pit during winter parties. It's still out there stacked up nicely. People seemed to prefer the gas fire pit.<br /><br />Loci. This makes sense. It just wasn't hidden in the gray matter.<br /><br />Dele. I must have known this when I was young and did a bit of copy editing. I recognize the mark but didn't know it's name. Thank you for the link, Lemonade.<br /><br />The theme was fun. Catchy like the A-A-M-C-O jingle! <br />Oh Barry G., I'm glad you hung in there!<br /><br />@Dennis, that is awesome, Make sure to have some good binoculars. You can see all manner of things. Peter and I had a house in Crescent Beach, FL and we enjoyed sitting out watching boats go by on the waterway and on the ocean side there was the nature and so many people walking and swimming, there was never a dull moment.<br /><br />HSIA. I read Snowflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See and while I understand it is fiction, I took the the history in it to be correct. She explained a lot about dynasty's.<br /><br />So much going on in the puzzle but I'm overextended!<br /><br />And,<br /><br />I'm out.Frenchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121204927549427122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-76710575861945710322012-02-03T22:59:13.942-06:002012-02-03T22:59:13.942-06:00Jeannie, that sounds like good news.

Places like that are under-appreciated in a big way and live music is....well you had to be there! While not focused on the same genre, there's a place in Lincoln that's still open and that has a similar reputation (nationally, not just locally) that's only knowable if you've been there. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_Bar_%28Lincoln,_Nebraska%29" rel="nofollow"> The Zoo Bar</a>. This is a 25' old storefront that houses approx 250 people at best and they bring in acts that could command a crowd of 20,000+. It's pretty amazing. Best act I ever saw there was Greg "Fingers" Taylor, of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c__JXd2cQE8" rel="nofollow"> Coral Reefers</a> fame He's the harmonica player). I can't go there too often cuz I can't function the day after.<br /><br />Glad you like Chris Smither.

I saw him at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, PA back in the early 70s a couple of times. My girlfriends and I frequented that coffee house often. The night we got drunk (or something) with Tom Rush was interesting : ) There was a dive across the street called The Cripple Creek (like The Band song).<br /><br />OMG#2 I used to have a cat named Sybil, just for that reason. Girl cats have big attitudes and severe mood swings.
