They only run once or twice a year during the Monsoons. And every year some dummy (probably from Colorado or California) tries to cross a flooded river bed and gets a little...ummm...how do they say it? Oh yeah...carried away!!!

Frightning but hilarious isnt it? Just wait for 2 hours or take the 2 hour diversion..you cant stop a monsoon

It's a yeast dough recipe that you have to knead. (Calls for margarine. Use butter! Like you'd actually go to the work to make your own! LOL)

Did you look at this W ad mentioned on the Dose tonight? It's a good'un about terrorism!

[mylife]

There's only one B-I-G problem. I HATE and I mean HATE to cook.

We'll work on that....normally part of making Kolatchi in my family is a doughfight...:^)

You've got that right. My office on Ft. Huachuca was actually up one of the canyons. When the summer rains came, they really were gully-washers.

The rain would blow nearly horizontal, and the storms usually ended with up to half a foot of water running down the street in front of the office.

Those buildings used to house Cavalrymen and their mounts. I can just imagine the reaction of the horses to that kind of weather.

Thanks! I understand it's now time for us all to be Irish and wearin' the green. ;)

I LOVE the idea of having the Euros noses rubbed in it!! Yes!!

[trussell]

Of course I know you were kidding... Hold on, gotta make a call...Hello, bear? Call of the hit, HiJinx says it was a joke!!... Your kidding, they refuse to stop?

Uh, HiJinx, don't answer your door for a couple days K?

[trussell]

I'll be doing the oxygen for 2 weeks and then having to test my overnight oxygen levels again. I'm praying it isn't sleep apnea!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Jinxie, how are you this fine evening? Is Piper home from her "transportation" purchasing trip?

[mylife]

Always use butter....Our ol grannies used oleo coz they said butter would kill us,,these recipes are traditional other than the oleo crap

[Fawnn]

Great Kerry graphic! Did you see this one done by a FReeper?

I can do food fights! I INSTIGATE them. I know, I know, hard to imagine....

[mylife]

Well I have to sack out now ..God bless every one of you


Sweet dreamies

[Brad’s Gramma]

I saw that ad...it's tremendous!

And yes, I'll (hahahaha) when I actually do try that recipe....FINE, I'LL TRY IT!...use butter.

[Fawnn]

Sadly, too many of the grannies bought into the misleading info about vegetable oils. Heart disease as we know it today was almost nonexistant before 1950!

[HiJinx]

Bear? Don't worry, me and the bears are buddies.

Speakin' of bears, I think it's time to chill out like my buddy, here...see y'all tomorrow!

There's another practical reason for using butter instead of oleo besides the better taste of butter, too. Margarine has a much higher water content, so different brands yield different results, which makes it unpredictable to work with. (And Gramma needs predictable.) ;)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Saw that one, too. She has a new one every day...get on her ping list. That's one TALENTED lady!!!

[trussell]

Thank you for the fun!!
