Hey, you all, I love that Script MT Bold. Just did an email with it and its beautiful. Used font size 14 and it was perfect. I am going to try to download a few Fonts today if I get time. I have work I must do today...like washing clothes and some vacuuming, etc. And starting next week, I must get my outside things finished!!

[The Mayor]

My Pleasure Jaycee. Sorry I have been absent from the forum, I have been so busy with life and work.

Good Morning Everyone... and thank you Russ! Thought of the scripture “ Weeping may endure for the night, but Joy cometh in the morning”....* my unmemorized version* LOL..

May this day be filled with every good blessing from above!

Thats okay, Mr. Mayor, we all understand that life is very busy! We get the Daily Bread’s and appreciate your doing that for us. I stay busy all the time and do not have a job to go to as you do! We thank you for what you do.

[jaycee]

Hi Polly, Thought I'd say hello before I get to work in the kitchen! Hope things in your life are going well!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

This is what I will be fixing for supper tonight.
Quickly fry the eggplant slices in oil, with PANKO breadcrumbs,
Before covering them with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, and heating in the oven.

Happy FRYday, everyone!

Eggplant Parmesan

serves 2 (recipe can multiplied to make more servings)

You will need:

1 small eggplant
flour (about 1/2 cup)
panko or breadcrumbs (about 1 cup)
2 eggs, beaten
tomato sauce (about 2 cups)
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese
fresh basil leaves
canola oro live oil for shallow frying

Preheat oven to medium heat (350 degrees).

Cut eggplant crosswise into 1/2 inch thick rounds, place it in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let stand for about 30 minutes (this will remove some of the bitterness from the eggplant).

Have 3 bowls or plates ready for your breading station. Place flour in the first one, the eggs in the second and the panko or breadcrumbs in the third plate or bowl.

Pat dry the eggplant slices and bread them by coating them first with flour, dipping in the eggs and coating again with the panko or breadcrumbs. Shallow fry eggplant slices in hot oil until they are golden brown, about 4-5 minutes total. Make sure the oil is hot, otherwise the eggplant will soak it up and be greasy. Drain eggplants in paper towel and set aside.

In an oven-proof dish, spoon some tomato sauce, place half of the eggplants side by side fitting snuggly in the dish. Layer slices of mozzarella cheese (or use shredded), basil leaves and tomato sauce. Repeat another layer starting again with the eggplant slices, mozzarella, basil, tomato sauce. Top it all with extra mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake it until golden and bubbly.

Enjoy it!

Lovely picture of a Passion Flower, Meg!
If we can't find any red clothing,
To show support for our troops today,
We can put one of these flowers in our hair!
