Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Our daughter Kristin with a Kokkari cookbook making a visit to San Francisco complete!
We love Greek food and although much of our food has Greek influences , we still enjoy Greek night whether or not we are visiting Kokkari… But Kokarri is special.
No great meal is complete without Baklava Ice cream!
Everyone has an opinion why Hostess failed and now stands to make a whole lot of people rich in the liquidation process… And not surprisingly, it will probably leave a lot of folks unemployed. You never make up the money lost when you go on strike… So it better be worth it to you emotionally.
I do hope they go back to the original formulations … Before they added stuff like high fructose corn syrup to save a few cents…. And to pay their top exec well over $100 k per month. How hard a job was it for this guy to say “close it down.” The Teamsters handled the issue well ( I was a member in times gone by) but a little obscure union was the one who screwed it for the rest of the workers.
Anyway , lets hope that whoever pics up this franchise… Makes it better.
Seven Navy Seals were given nasty letters in their files for advising a video game manufacturer in a new game!
One of the seals who helped was involved in the hit on Osama Bin Laden. The seals are ” alleged ” to have divulged “secrets”. So far, in playing the game, I haven’t found anything interesting… Except a lot of “bad guys” biting the dust.
I think this is a great game ( you can use a second disk to play it in HD)… Plus… With the Seals involved, I love the authenticity.
Worth it even at twice the price!
My daughter Karla wanted Spaghetti with meatballs for lunch and since I am dieting… I accepted the challenge of making one serving. The sauce and noodles for one presents no challenge… But meatballs means drastically reducing and modifying our recipes.
I decided to vary my Scandinavian meatball for the occasion and ground my own beef:
MEATBALLS for One
1 egg
1/2 pound beef ground
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon combination : salt, pepper, garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon combination: white pepper, allspice, cloves and nutmeg
Procedure : fry in a pan with a little olive oil
Yum!
I arrived in Louisville, Kentucky to wish our daughter Karen a happy birthday… And to share a day in her life. Karen is an Assistant Professor in Strategic Communications with many interdisciplinary research lines of interest from Social Media, crisis communication to related fields in Psychology and business.
Today, I sat in on two classes and really enjoyed the multi-media interactive lecture. Although I really found these classes interesting… The problem I see is that they would require me to take extensive notes…. Fun but work. Fortunately for me… I am not in these classes.
