BRAIN TIME - WHAT AM I?
I am the beginning of sorrow
and the end of sickness.
You cannot express
happiness without me
yet I am in the midst of crosses.
I am always in
risk yet never in danger.
You may find me in the sun,
but I am never out
of darkness.

BRAIN TIME - CAN YOU LIST THE KIDS IN ORDER OF HEIGHT FROM TALLEST TO SHORTEST?
Six neighborhood children — Leisha, Benito, Delia, Charlotte, Weldon,
and Zina— were measured yesterday.
Weldon is taller than Delia but
shorter than Zina.
Leisha is taller than Benito but shorter than Delia
and Weldon.
Benito isn’t the shortest.
Can you list the kids in order of
height from tallest to shortest?

RECIPE TIME - HOW ABOUT A QUICK AND EASY MEAL!
Here is a recipe from my archives that is not only quick and easy, but is cost effective too! -
Archived Recipe Page (11-14-10 through 6-23-11)
November 14,
2010
Just to get started here is a quick recipe that
tastes good anytime, but particularly on cold winter nights. It comes
from a friend of forty years, who got it from her mother. Thanks Jane!
Skillet Beef and Noodles
1 pound of ground beef (I
use ground round or ground chuck)
1 small onion cut up
1 beef bouillon cube or 1
teaspoon of beef bouillon granules
(OR if you are busy you can
use 1 package of onion soup mix in place of the onion and bouillon)
2 cans of tomatoes (I use
the canned diced tomatoes)
2 teaspoons ketchup (I use the
tablespoon and don't quite fill it up)
1 teaspoon salt (optional
since you are using the bouillon - I usually omit it)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 of an 8 oz package of
noodles (whole wheat noodles work well with this recipe)
1/2 to 1 cup frozen baby
peas
- In a small amount of oil (I use olive oil), cook ground beef until brown.
- Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT the peas and put the noodles in uncooked.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes stirring occasionally to be sure the noodles stay in the liquid.
- Add the peas and cook until tender.
I like to serve this with a salad and Sister Schubert
rolls.

HERE'S A RECIPE TO GO WITH THE CORNBREAD RECIPE I POSTED YESTERDAY - CROCKPOT PULLED PORK BAR-B-QUE
Here's another recipe from my archives - [located at this link - click HERE] It is Pulled Pork and I cook it in my crockpot. This would be great with the Cornbread recipe I posted yesterday. Any changes since the original post are in red.
January 6, 2012
First recipe for the New Year – and I am
keeping it simple. I picked up this recipe from my mother-in-law, so I
don’t know the original origin. I just know that if you like bar-b-que
pork, then this is how you do it.
Shopping List:
- 3 – 4 pounds of pork butt or shoulder (don’t use pork loin – it is too lean)
- Beef broth
- Coffee
- Sweet Baby Ray’s Bar-B-Que Sauce
Pulled Pork
3 to 4 pounds pork butt or shoulder
1 can or 14.5 oz of beef broth [I use 16 oz or 2 cups]
¼ cup strong brewed coffee[I usually double the strength]
salt and pepper to taste
Cut pork if needed to fit into crock-pot. Rub each piece with salt and pepper. Place meat in crock-pot and turn the pot on low. Combine the beef broth and coffee. Pour over the roast. Cook 6 to 8 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove the roast from the crock-pot and pull apart with 2 forks. Be sure to double check for small bones. Return shredded pork to the crock-pot on low to hold and serve.
I like to serve this with slaw,
beans, Mississippi Cornbread (see recipe post of October 27, 2011), and
Sweet Baby Ray’s Bar-B-Que Sauce.
Enjoy!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE MEANS? SOME OF US NEED TO BE REMINDED.
Dear Readers:
Some of you may not know who Red Skelton was, but, he was
probably one of the best loved comedians ever. He was also a man who loved
his country. Listen to him explain what the Pledge of Allegiance
means...
RECIPE TIME - MISSISSIPPI CORNBREAD
I posted this recipe on one of my recipe pages [click HERE] on October 27, 2011. I thought since we all seem to have a lot of time on our hands, that I would pull some of my recipes and re-post a few of them. Over the years, and because I am a cancer survivor that avoids those foods detrimental to my health like soy products, I have tweaked this particular recipe and have put the changes in brackets.
Recipe from October 27, 2011
Although I live in the South, I am not a cornbread fan. This could be because I was raised in the North, and never had cornbread until I was in my late teens. I do have one friend that made the only cornbread I liked, it was more like a cake. I honestly thought I would never find another cornbread recipe that was its equivalent, until this weekend. It is so good I wanted to share. It is easy to make and is not dry like other cornbreads that I have tried. I think you will like this one too! Thanks Mom Jones! I know you are in heaven looking down.
