Today, Senator Clinton is expected to end her presidential bid and endorse BHO.

Negotiators for Israel and Palestine are drafting a Peace Pact even though there are numerous differences on many issues.

Belmont Stakes today. Will Big Brown win the Triple Crown?

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes, it was! Time has just flown since then...

Bill Monroe, the commonly acknowleged Father of Bluegrass Music once remarked about the bagel, “that’s the toughest donut I ever ate, and it wasn’t one bit sweet”.

Good morning everybody. I believe the TX Rangers got beat last night, we left at the top of the 9th in order to get ahead of the crowd and the score was 7-2 I believe. They were slightly in the lead until the 5th inning when Tampa Bay decided to wake up and play some baseball and that was all it took.

Still, it was lots of fun to be at the ballpark, after having both the Cubs and Sox teams to go see for so many years, I miss being able to easily go watch the games.

Daughter will be joining us in this area today, she had an interview during the last job fair and also a followup interview with the same schoool scheduled in a week or so. So, we are all hanging in there on that front as best we can.

Good morning everyone!

"New York Bagels" is also a brand name; at least, here it is.

[lysie]

The audacity of the Dems

Excellent post!

[Holding Our Breath]

Prayers up for daughter and a wonderful outcome.

Good morning, HOB.

Good Morning lysie. Nice breakfast. Good Morning Everyone.

I heard Big Brown has a cracked (?) hoof. Won’t running a race hurt the horse?

[tillacum]

Good afternoon snugs. What is naan? Your breakfast sounds yummy. We’re having sausage and eggs with toast and of course coffee.

[tillacum]

What is it with Olmert? Seems he has no courage when dealing with arabs. He give up too much of Isreals land, in my opinion.

[The Raven]

>>good (warm) morning everyone.

I was outside for about 40 minutes yesterday and had to take a shower.

[The Raven]

>>Won’t running a race hurt the horse?

It’s minor and he had it the last three races as well.

BTW - did you see that video of the guy getting hit by a car and then no one comes to help him.

That’s a perfect video for the Republican’s A glance at the future. Obama’s world.

I forgot Americans are not so into Indian food as us Brits :o).

It is similar to pita bread but does not have a pocket in it.

Naan resembles pita bread and, like pita bread, is usually leavened with yeast; unleavened dough (similar to that used for roti) is also used. Naan cooks in a tandoor, or clay oven, from which tandoori cooking takes its name. This distinguishes it from roti which is usually cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle called a tava.

Modern recipes sometimes substitute baking powder for the yeast. Milk or yogurt may also be used to give greater volume and thickness to the nan. Typically, the nan will be served hot and brushed with ghee or butter. It can be used to scoop other foods, or served stuffed with a filling: for example, keema naan is stuffed with a minced meat mixture (usually lamb or mutton); People in the UK incorrectly call it peshwari naan. It is actually Peshawari naan (actually most restaurants I have been to in Britain call it Peshawari). Peshawari naan and Kashmiri naan are filled with a mixture of nuts and raisins; aloo naan is stuffed with potatoes. Possible seasonings in the dough include cumin and nigella seeds. There is anothr naan that my local take-away does which I prefer which is a honey naan which has honey and almonds on top.

A typical naan recipe involves mixing white flour with salt, a yeast culture, and enough yogurt to make a smooth, elastic dough. The dough is kneaded for a few minutes, then set aside to rise for a few hours. Once risen, the dough is divided into balls (about 100 grams or 3½ oz each), which are flattened and cooked. In Indian cuisine, naans are typically graced with fragrant essences, such as rose, khus (vetiver), and kevra (a pine essence native to Southern India), with butter or ghee melted on them. Above info was from the net with me adding comments but I think it gives you the idea of what naan is. Best way to serve curry in my opinion not being a great rice eater.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ONE!

[snugs]

Today is your Belmont Stakes and our Derby cannot remember that before.

The Derby always used to be on a Wednesday but of recent years it is held on a Saturday

Absolutely stupid what they are discussing on Fox about comparing Ted Kennedy's health treatment to National Health care.

This is ridiculous IMHO there are much better examples to argue against National Health care than Ted Kennedy's case. Ted Kennedy can afford to have the best treatment in the world anywhere in the world. This would not change under National Health care what you need to compare the average person's health coverage now and what it would be under National Health care because the average person could not afford to pay for both for all treatments.

[snugs]

In Britain my father is often forced to pay privately to go to see a specialist because under the NHS he would have to wait months.

The specialist then because we have paid him for the appointment will slot dad back into the NHS for treatment. A sort of capatialist bribe I suppose:o)

[prairiebreeze]

Thank you HOB!

GOOD A.M. TO ONE AND ALL FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, USA!!!!

Sorry I have been missing, been ‘stoved up’ (southern for not feeling good and hurting),go over to New Orleans next Tuesday to find out why I am hurting so bad from my operation, and I mean HURT too and the kids got me a new play toy, a riding lawn mower, now I have a tractor which will be paid off next month, my new toy, shovels hoes, weed eater, rakes, pitch fork, you name it and I got it, hoping to put them in use very soon. Ummmm, maybe they make a ‘yard cleaning’ pill”?

Now, politics, we are in a heck of a fix getting ready to slap us in the face and pocketbook, we ain't seen nothing yet, like McCain or not, time to band together and go with him or suffer like we have never done before. I have seen some Flem flam artist in my career in law enforcement but never one like Obama, we got troubles big time.

Finished another book a few ago, a good read, Shadows of Legion by Vernon Buford.

Well, time to get up and do nothing, orders from the ‘boss’ in the big house, think I will use this down time cleaning my ‘shack in the back’ which SIL got me a screen door for yesterday, put that swab of cotton on the upper right hand conner to keep the flied from trying to get in, yes, it works too.
