~ MILITARY SHORT SPEAK ~ |
|
The military seems to have a language of its own, with many terms, acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations that aren't generally used in the "civilian world." What is an acronym? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words. It is spoken as one word. What is an initialism? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak? It is any and all of the above. Want to know what they are talking about? Read on... |

There is a wonderful book, Called:
"the Art of Eating" by M.F.K.Fisher...
That talks about her experieinces during World War 1...
It is a fantastic book, that will make you reconsider, what "hunger" really means...
How she nearly starved to death, and how she nearly swooned when she was able to eat well, again..
The book is also peppered with recipes from the Haute Cuisine she was used to, to the gruel she made with tiny bits of meat in order to survive.
I love to cook, and I love experimenting with different spices...but I do not have fancy stuff all the time...
Still, a beautiful meal can be cooked and presented with very little cost...
One of my favorite meals is simply cooked in the Crock Pot...Small white beans, smoked ham hocks, and a ton of onions, and salt and pepper to taste..add a little cornbread fresh from the oven on the side...
Simple, and wonderful...

Awesome pictures of our brave and heroic troopers! Let us all pray extra hard that they stay safe, and that they will be successful in their endeavor to help make Iraq a stable, democratic country. I want to also pray that these wonderful men and women have the support of their fellow Americans and not critcism!
