First Check Written Anniversary
President's Day
1st Commercial Helicopter Flew
National Almond Day
Honey roasted almonds
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Pour raw, unsalted almonds on a cookie sheet (make sure the sheet has a lip around the edges, you dont want the honey dripping into your oven)
Bake for 25 minutes Remove cookie sheet from oven and drizzle honey over the almonds, be generous with the honey
Pop the tray back in the oven for 5 minutes Remove tray from oven and scoop almonds into a storage container (before the honey cools and sticks to your cookie sheet)
Ta-da
thats it!
*Tip: Soaking the cookie sheet in water for about an hour made the honey residue scrub off without any trouble.

It is true love because I put on eyeliner and a concerto and make pungent observations about the great issues of the day Even when there's no one here but him, And because I do not resent watching the Green Bay Packer Even though I am philosophically opposed to football, And because When he is late for dinner and I know he must be either having an affair or lying dead in the middle of the street, I always hope he's dead.
It's true love because If he said quit drinking martinis but I kept drinking them and the next morning I couldn't get out of bed, He wouldn't tell me he told me, And because He is willing to wear unironed undershorts Out of respect for the fact that I am philosophically opposed to ironing, And because If his mother was drowning and I was drowning and he had to choose one of us to save, He says he'd save me.
It's true love because When he went to San Francisco on business while I had to stay home with the painters and the exterminator and the baby who was getting the chicken pox, He understood why I hated him, And because When I said that playing the stock market was juvenile and irresponsible and then the stock I wouldn't let him buy went up twenty-six points, I understood why he hated me, And because Despite cigarette cough, tooth decay, acid indigestion, dandruff, and other features of married life that tend to dampen the fires of passion, We still feel something We can call True love.

Thank you, LadyJag.
I love the way MamaBear illustrated JOHNN's great poem.
It is good to see you on this dreary Monday.
It is raining here .... Yeah.
Has all of your snow melted?
My daffodils are about 6 inches high; they should be blooming in about 3 weeks.
Spring is just around the corner.
Wishing you a Happy Snowless Monday.
