Long time, no post.

Random stuff:
WOW, I can't believe its been so long since I posted something. I have but one excuse and that is I have been to busy. The life of a house husband can be very hectic. That's right, house husband. I do all the cooking, cleaning, and housekeeping, while also, looking for a job, working out in the gym for health reasons, grocery shopping, vehicle maintenance, and all the budgeting, banking, investing, and bookkeeping. While I am not employed, I devote myself to seeing to it that my wife, who is employed, wants for nothing, is comfortable, happy, and healthy. Above all, happy. Of coarse, I do not want to be unemployed but its very difficult to get someone to hire an old fart 62 years old. I'm currently working on forming a corporation and opening a small business. Also, I am exploiting the idea of making money on the Internet. Most of the work-at-home sites I have visited have been frauds and scams. There is a ton of info out there to be researched. If anyone has any ideas for an Internet enterprise or small business, please comment.

Recipe: Here is a little recipe you might want to try.

1 Zucchini
1 squash
1 half onion
1 quarter pound or less of fresh baby portobello mushrooms. Should be about 10 to 15. Note that the regular portobello mushrooms are flat and long and brown. The baby portobellos are shaped like regular white mushrooms, but are brown.
1 quarter bell pepper
1 stalk of celery
6 to 10 cloves of garlic
1 portion of pickled ginger root to taste. It comes already peeled and sliced.
1 tablespoon of olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste

Slice the celery, zucchini and squash diagonally in pieces about 1/16 th of an inch thick. Cut onion into rings and the bell pepper long ways into long quarter inch wide slivers. Quarter the mushrooms and half the garlic cloves.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and throw in the celery and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes then throw in the bell pepper and onions. Saute for another 5 minutes and then put in the Zucchini, squash, baby portobellos, and ginger. Salt and pepper to taste while sauteing until Zucchini and squash are tender. Enjoy.

I served this as a side dish to some chicken thighs I had pan fried. It would probably go good with pork also.

Humor:

Secretary of State Thibodeaux was visiting President Boudreaux. Secretary of State Thibodeaux noticed President Boudreaux had acquired two new dogs, and asked him what their names were. President Boudreaux responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex. Secretary of State Thibodeaux said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?" Whereupon President Boudreaux responded, "Mais, what else you gonna name watch dogs, anh?"
