Observations of a Newcomer:
I just finished reading comments on the AOL news article about Burlington Coat Factory (BCF). It seems BCF got caught doing some label switching. Most of the comments followed the same trend. There is a lot of dishonesty in the sale of American goods, and what fuels it is the gullible people who fall for all the sales antics.
I also noticed that the thread of the conversation moved from a discussion of retail fraud to a more political one. Some of the posts were obviously mean, others were snotty, a lot were good info from experienced people, and I noticed only one, of course I didn't read them all, that called upon us to realize these are the "End Days" and that God should have mercy on us all. Oh well, I am new to these posted conversations (Only just arriving on this planet a couple of months ago.) and will have to visit other blogs and forums to see what is going on in this universe.
There are a lot of different opinions around.
Cajun Humor: (Yes, I am a coonass.)
An eight year old boy was riding his bicycle in Lancaster, Texas, when he saw his friend being attacked by a large pit bull. The boy jumped off his bike, ran and jumped on the dog's back. After prying the vicious animals teeth from his young friend's body, he put the dog in a choke hold and held on until the dog was dead.
The local newspaper editor happened to witness this feat and after calling for an ambulance on his cell phone, ran over to the young hero and said, "Son, that was one of the bravest things I have ever seen. You're going to make tomorrow's headlines. It will read: 'Dallas Cowboy Fan is Hero--Risks His Life & Saves Young Friend From Vicious Pit Bull Attack."
The youngster said, "That's nice, but I'm not a Cowboy fan."
The editor said "O.K., then it will read 'Texas Tech fan saves young friend's life in pit-bull attack."
The young man said, "But I'm not a Texas Tech fan."
The editor thought for a moment and then replied, "Oh OK, it will read 'Aggie fan saves
friend's life."
Once again the young man interrupted saying, "I'm not an Aggie fan either."
The editor becoming somewhat irritated asked, "Then who is your favorite team?"
The kid replied with a big smile, "L.S.U." (Louisiana State University)
The next morning the local newspaper headlines read: "BELOVED FAMILY PET MURDERED BY LITTLE CAJUN COONASS BOY"!!!!
Recipe:
J Z’s fry pan tomato meat sauce
March 13, 2009
1 pound ground beef or pork
1 medium onion or ½ large
½ bell pepper
1 small clove of garlic
1 stalk of celery
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1 can of black olives
1 cup of fresh mushrooms (Preferably shitake and/or Portobello)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Heat oil in fry pan and add ground meat. Allow to brown for about 5 minutes, then add garlic and celery. Brown for 2 to 3 more minutes then add onion and bell pepper. Allow onion to start clarifying and bell pepper to begin to soften. It should take about 5 more minutes, but about 2 to 3 minutes after adding onion and bell pepper add stewed tomatoes and black olives. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then add mushrooms. Blend for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Eat it as is, serve over pasta, or on garlic toast.
Deeeeeelicious

ReplyDeleteSocial worker from New York, reassigned to South LA and plying the back bayous checking on her client load. Came up on the tiniest little cabin she had ever seen, located on the very edge of the levee on Bayou Blue. She knocked on the door of the little cabin and a small boy's voice came from the other side.
"What you want --you?"
She asks if his father is there and he replied, "May non, he left when mama came in."
She asks to speak to his mother. He says,"May you can't do dat! She left when I came in."
She asks, a little exasperated, " Well---is your family NEVER together at one time?"
He says, still from the other side of the door, "May yeah, chere, plenny times,--- but not here----dis is de outhouse!":)
