Sometimes goof ups turn out to be huge successes. For instance, Alexander Fleming's experiment with bacteria. Right in the middle of the whole thing, he left for a vacation. He left a dirty petri dish in the lab sink only to return and find the bacteria had grown all over the plate, except in an area where mold had formed. That discovery led to … [Read more...]
Yesterday I went for a walk in a nearby park. The weather was so amazing that the rest of the community had the exact same idea. There were dogs and kids everywhere! It was practically a party! As I power walked by the playground I noticed a very large man. I'm a tiny woman, barely make 5 foot - so I notice tall, big people. I envy them, but that's … [Read more...]
Did Charlie Chaplin once loose a Charlie Chaplin Look-alike contest? Yes! He did! According to Myth Busters, "During the height of his popularity around 1915, Charlie Chaplin look-alike contests were held all over the country. Contestants were judged on how well they could imitate the "Little Tramp" character that Chaplin played in his movies, rather … [Read more...]
This recipe is an awesome change from the same old. Rather than the traditional mozzarella version, this recipe uses Monterey Jack. My one tip: use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. The robust flavor of a chicken prepared in that way adds a lot of flavor to this dish. You will need: 1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust 1/2 cup barbecue sauce 1/2 cup … [Read more...]

I've heard it said, "There are no stupid questions," but that's really not true - at least, I don't think so. I've heard a few in my day. Here's just three I've been a witness to: Asking, "How much is this?" when you're shopping at the Everything's a Dollar Store. That IS a stupid question. Asking, "Can you live with just one kidney" to someone who just told … [Read more...]
YouTube makes it so easy to go back and revisit vintage ads. Since I love Superbowl commercial so much, I thought I'd look back a few decades to see what was going on 'back in the day.' I actually remember this one of Farrah Fawcett and Joe Namath doing a Noxema ad! Check it out! … [Read more...]
Pulled pork sandwiches are the perfect Superbowl Party food! Guests can assemble their own the way they like when ever they want it. I deviated from this recipe slightly. It calls for cooking in a Dutch oven - I used a crock pot because I don't currently have a Dutch Oven. Also, after I mix in the BBQ sauce, I pop it in the oven at a very high temp to sort … [Read more...]
