Art with Fruits & Veggies
Many of the pics below come from the book called "How are You Peeling?" by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers. They got the idea by collecting produce in New York that was going to be thrown out. They use an exacto knife and other natural materials like black eyed peas and beet-juice. Preschoolers love this book. The pics are just cool! Enjoy.

Still not back here on the blog, but thought I would share this recipe. Y'all are, of course, invited for Sunday bunch. The menu is Mexican Green Chili Strata, Sausage Cheese Balls, Fruit Salad and some sort of coffee cake. Coffee/Juice.
STRATA
6 slices of firm bread, we are using sourdough..... Trim crusts and spread one side with softened butter. Arrange bread, butter side down, in a 9 x 12-inch baking pan.
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Sprinkle cheeses evenly over bread.
8 ounces minced green chilies ... Distribute the chilies evenly over the cheese layer.
6 eggs
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt....2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon crumbled oregano, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard.
In a bowl, beat eggs with milk and all seasonings until well blended. Pour egg mixture over cheese. Cover and chill overnight or at least four hours.
Bake, uncovered, at 325 for about 50 minutes, or until top is lightly browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. ENJOY! :))

Marriage Counseling
A husband and wife went for counseling after 25 years of marriage. When
asked what the problem was, the wife went into an angry tirade, listing each
and every problem they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married.
She went on and on. Neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, a long list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their quarter century of marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist stood up, walked around his desk and, asking the wife to stand, embraced her and kissed her passionately on the mouth.
The woman shut up and, in a daze, quietly sat down.
The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs
at least seven times a week. Do you think you can do this"?
The husband thought for a moment and replied, "Well, doc, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on the other days, I play golf."

The Bathtub Test
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started.
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
"Well,"said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No."said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

Washing Clothes
Build fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water.
Set tubs so smoke wont blow in eyes if wind is pert.
Shave one hole cake of lie soap in boilin' water.
Sort things, make 3 piles
1 pile white,
1 pile colored,
1 pile work britches and rags.
To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth, then thin down with boiling water.
Take white things, rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard, and boil, then rub colored don't boil just
wrench and starch.
Take things out of kettle with broom stick handle, then wrench, and starch.
Hang old rags on fence.
Spread tea towels on grass.
Pore wrench water in flower bed.
Scrub porch with hot soapy water. Turn tubs upside down.
Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs.
Brew cup of tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings.
================================================
Paste this over your washer and dryer. Next time when you think things are bleak, read it again, kiss
that washing machine and dryer, and give thanks.
First thing each morning you should run and hug your washer and dryer, also your toilet---those
two-holers used to get mighty cold!
For you non-southerners -wrench means rinse. ;) AND WE THOUGHT WE HAVE IT ROUGH
