My opinion on Obama's speech to our schools.

Mon, 7 Sep 2009 14:09:52 -0400

I wonder if anyone feels stupid after reading the speech...and are honest enough to admit they were dead wrong about opposing this simple attempt at inspiring the children of this nation to become responsible students, and in turn, responsible adults.

To those of you who still oppose this speech (It's, of course, still absolutely fine to oppose the president all you want): Shame on you!Read More

" Adultery, a repeated blasphemous joke, much sexual humor, some profanity and rough language, and frequent crude and crass terms. O — morally offensive."

Heaven forbid they read, and rate, the bible!

I can't believe this!

I can't believe this. If the Democrat mouthpiece is the New York Times, and the Republican mouthpiece is the WSJ, then is the National Enquirer the mouthpiece for the Tea Partiers/Birthers?

Goodbye Sheila Lukins

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 09:09:15 -0400

I was reading my Google News, when I came across an article about the daunting task of cooking from Julia Child's, "The Art of French Cooking." This immediately reminded me of "the Silver Palate Cookbook" series. Only Sheila... Lukins could write recipes which were as complex and daunting as Julia.

I love those cookbooks. They have been an anchor in my library for over two decades and have been the inspiration for many nightly specials in my restaruants, catered events and at home.

I Googled "Silver Palate" and was sad to discover that Sheila had died just two days ago.

My thoughts go out to Sheila's family and friends during this time and only hope they celebrate her life rather than mourn their loss.Read More

Internet English 100

I'm tired of the same old replies to complaints about the inability of internet posters to understand the differences between "their" "they're" and "there". "It doesn't matter", says one poster. "Who cares?", adds another.

It does matter and you should care.

I will demonstrate the usage in one simple phrase.

They're getting their tires over there.

Can you understand it now?
