Bacon covered meat loaf.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Usually,I am opposed to preheating, but….

what you’ll need

2# natural lean ground beef
1# mild Italian sausage
1 packet onion soup mix
2 eggs already beaten
Bacon (enough to run the length of the loaf)
A pinch of garlic (varies upon taste)

what to do

1. Mix the above (not the bacon, I mean come on) in a large bowl.
2. Shape meat into loaf and put into pan.
3. Cover loaf with strips of bacon
4. Place into oven.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1.5 hours ( the original recipe said an hour, but I like my meat done) or until meat is done.
6. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes.

The veggie dish. One of those steamable bags a whole green bean and potato mixture in a light cream sauce.

I used this really neat meatloaf pan I saw at Walmart. It really worked!

Well, I’m stuffed…..

And I’ve already ridden the roller coaster of emotions.

I awoke smiling, humming and then singing ( 99.9% of the time that’s how I greet the world. Now keep in mind, that is only when I am alone. If others are around…DON’T BREATHE TOO HEAVILY OR I WILL CUT YOU DOWN WITH AN ICY GLARE).

But now, as I did the morning washing up (which was light as all I had was a lightly toasted bagel, a thinly sliced, lightly peppered English cucumber and a cuppa) I burst into tears. Why? For a brief moment, I caught a whiff of my mothers scent and felt…..something.

Memories, this time last year…..she and I were walking the streets of Atlanta, looking at the snow.

Wow

Let’s see if I can lighten the mood a bit.

Ok, something to lighten the mood…

When deciding what category to place a blog, I’ve discovered that I have an extensive list. So, this blog is actually the category links. That might prove interesting. Tell me what you think.

STOP THE PRESSES
I’ve just listed A and B ….I’m going to string you along….tease ya a bit!

Ciao ciao!

A living planet is a much more complex metaphor for deity than just a bigger father with a bigger fist. If an omniscient, all-powerful Dad ignores your prayers, it’s taken personally. Hear only silence long enough, and you start wondering about his power. His fairness. His very existence. But if a world mother doesn’t reply, Her excuse is simple. She never claimed conceited omnipotence. She has countless others clinging to her apron strings, including myriad species unable to speak for themselves. To Her elder offspring She says – go raid the fridge. Go play outside. Go get a job. Or, better yet, lend me a hand. I have no time for idle whining. ~David Brin

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. ~Chief Seattle

geez, well yeah I am these things and more

This is just …wow!

and these things too, with the exception of the “perfect in every way” hehe hummm

Kinda reminds me of Wukdar’s YT avatar (hummm)
this reminds me of a Preston creation

these images were found on Google images…

I am just going with the flow today….that is all I can do, it is all anyone can do!

Have I thanked you guys and gal….. for being YOU? If not, THANK YOU!

YOU KNEW this was leading somewhere…YOU KNEW!!!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

[Extra verses from London 1993 production]

As our hearts go beating through the night
We dance unto the dawn of day
To be the bearers of the water
Our light will lead the way

We are the spirit of the age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
Angelic illumination
Rising firey constellation
Travelling our starry courses
Guided by the cosmic forces
O care for us
Aquarius

ARRRGH, too many from which to choose!

I “know” what is pretty. At least I think I do. REPHRASE: I know what is “pretty” to me.

At university, I took the requisite art appreciation class, that turned into classes. So, WHY CAN’T I PICK OUT A COLOUR SCHEME FOR THIS PAGE??? But whoa Nelly! I can and have, but I have the ancient Romanesque love for colour. (Although, I tend to wear bland hues myself. Did you know that black and battleship gray are my favourite colours?)

If it is bright, I kinda like it (except blaze orange and lemon yellow).

It is Friday, as thoughts come to me, I’ll share.

I am open for suggestions. Hey, please share your artistic vision with one who is challenged.

Hey, who is beta testing the new YT layout? I may try to work on that today during lunch.

catch you on the other side of the rainbow (trying to to in the colour thing) :-P
