tried both recipes and they are outstanding!

Tried them out at a small coffee and snack meeting of some biker buddies planning a last of the season trip and they ate everything and asked for more! Several of the wives badgered me for my ‘Old Family’ recipes and I traded them for some good recipes of their own. Many thanks for the recipes!

And as this is a poetry board,

Justice or Surrender

Bad boys raging against the machine
breaking the laws and turning mean
and society roils in accumulated pain
we have to ask is this the way of the sane?

A bad childhood seems to excuse it all
and still the victims struggle and fall
and the bad goes to worst and we just let it be
instead of standing up to seek justice we flee

As a boy I grew up with the idea so clear
of the tall tree and the short rope to fear
of retribution to acts of savage release
and giving to all some sense of real peace

now the inmates are running the asylum its clear
and justice is traded for acceptance without fear
and the victims keep falling and crime unabated
no matter how often the crack house is raided

we coddle in kindness the worst of the lot
those who killed, raped, and pillaged and fought
we give them weight rooms and tv and little sweat
and they take it all in and remain violent set

no chain gangs, no hard times, and little payback
for all those they killed and pillaged and sacked
equality granted that they’ve never earned
and still they laugh as laws they do spurn

So give you victims and stand in the line
and take it in silence say its just fine
but I will sure not, and you can be sure
bad boys will find me a savage old cur

Its time to remember the tall tree and short rope
and hammer the hell out of those criminal dopes
either get along and be law abiding at last
or be but a memory under a stone from the past

You are just so smart to try both recipes. I would love to say I’ve tried one. I hope I can soon, except I have to watch my sugar, darn it!

Haven’t read the poem yet.

Have a wonderfuly day!
