Silly Stuff

We are entering year 4 of this recession -- and you MUST have a sense of humor about it, things aren't going to change quickly. (sigh)

A friend sent this to me in email - I have no idea who the author is, but thought I would pass the chuckle on - enjoy!

The economy is so bad
that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

I ordered a burger at McDonald's,
and the kid behind the counter asked,
"Can you afford fries with that?"

CEO's are now playing
miniature golf.

If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds,"
you have to call them and ask if they mean you or them .

Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks
are trading higher than GM.

McDonald's is selling the
1/4 'ouncer'.

Parents in Beverly Hills and Malibu are firing their nannies
and learning their children's names.

A truckload of Americans
was caught sneaking into Mexico .

Dick Cheney
took his stockbroker hunting.

Motel Six
won't leave the light on anymore.

The Mafia
is laying off judges.

BP Oil
laid off 25 Congressmen.

Congress says they are looking into the Bernard Madoff scandal.
Oh Great!!
The guy who made $50 Billion disappear
is being investigated by
the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

And, finally...

I was so depressed last night
thinking about the:
economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, and our bleak future,
that I called the Suicide Lifeline
and was connected to a call center in Pakistan .
When I told them I was suicidal,
they got all excited,
and asked if I could drive a truck ...

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
