Happy New Year!!
Where did the year go? Suddenly it is January.....AGAIN - and I realize that with giant strides and within a blink of an eye, 2013 is over!
A big "Thank You" for your friendship, laughs and memories during 2013.
Without you, I"m sure that 2013 would have been extremely boring. From my side I wish you all a magical Festive Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts.

Forgot Crafts
I forgot crafts today...and I really did forget. Butch's pool partner Don Louks got a Kindle and his computer skills amounted to playing solitaire. I am one who can get excited about showing someone the wonders of technology, at least the ones I understand and I thought what better type of day to get settled in with a new student with a new Kindle. Thus the crafters taking down the Christmas tree was the furthest thing from my mind...honestly.
Don is well on his way to having a good time with his Kindle Fire having a library of about 12 books all free from www.bookbub.com. Add to that a few solitaire games and he is looking at many hours of entertainment on rainy days.
What's for supper on a rainy day?
Hamburger Soup
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour
Servings: 10
"'I can't wait for chilly weather just so I can make this hearty soup!' notes Sandra Koch from Elyria, Ohio. 'I came across the recipe a few years ago, and my family fell in love with it. 'You'll love it, too...it's priced at a mere 68 cents a bowl."
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 cups diced onion (optional)
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup stick margarine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:
1.
In a large saucepan or soup kettle, cook the beef, onions, carrots, celery and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Stir in broth, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
2.
In another saucepan, melt margarine over medium-low heat. Stir in flour until smooth. cook and stir for 6-8 minutes or until mixture turns golden brown. Carefully stir into soup. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
I threw in a couple chunks of velveeta instead of the flour paste. I followed the recipe with that exception. It was quite delicious.

All is Well
I have recovered from my cold. It was a small one. I give some credit to my neti pot which I used twice a day throughout the ordeal. And I added to that a new cold medication Zephrex-D. It came to my attention on one of the news shows. A small company in St Louis MO came up with a new manufacturing procedure that thwarts the meth makers. Meth it seems has to be in powder form for them to be able to use it to make their street meth. Zephrex-D is not in powder form. It rather reminds me of little paraffin squares. To top it off it is not very expensive. They have it at Walgreens. It worked quite well for me to ease my symptoms.
Been busy with computer issues lately. The biggest question lately seems to be- How do I know a download is something I need and how can I be sure it is safe? These days there is no easy answer and their isn't anything to keep you completely safe. I guess my best advice would be that if you do not know if it is safe- don't do it. Almost all things can wait.
