A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-29 thru 07-31-05....T.G.I.F. at the Finest
Posted on 07/29/2005 7:25:17 AM PDT by Billie
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest! We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest

"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.
I received this in my email June 10th, the author is unknown. I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

It has been a little lonely around here. But, with a 3-1/2 month old it does keep one jumping. I have given him plenty to eat. Chachi was 2lb 8oz when Mama_Bear left and he is now 3lb 6oz. and he uses the doggie door by himself. Not 100% potty trained but he does have me trained. I'm sure that she will notice a big difference.

He is almost 5-1/2" high to the shoulder. And he is SPOILED! (as a puppy should be)

Hi ya Tulip, have quickly scanned through but did not see what day Sunday was probably missed it, also have you found out yet what Monday is?
Here is a UK cheese cake recipe
Chilled Mandarin Cheesecake
4oz butter or marg
8oz digestive biscuits crushed
4 level teaspooon gelatine
1 can mandarin oranges drained
1 lb curd cheese or cottage cheese, rubed through a fine mesh sieve
half pint double cream
2 egs separated
4oz caster sugar
finely grated peel and juice of one lemon
Decoration
Reserved mandarin oranges
1oz plain chocolate grated
1) Brush 8 inch spring clip tin with thin layer of melted unsalted butter
2) Heat butter or marg in pan, add biscuits. Stir well to mix, press thickly over base of tin
3) Soften gelatine in 4 tablespoon mandarin syrup. Reserve 10 mandarins for decoration. Coarsely chop remainder. Tip gelatine and syrup mixture into saucepan and melt over low hat.
4) Place cheese into a bowl and heat in gelatine mixture. Stir in mandarins. Whip cream until thick and fold into chese with egg yolks sugar and grated peel and juice of lemon.
5) Leave until just beginning to thicken and set then fold in egg whites, beaten to a stiff snow. When smoothly combined pour into prepared tin.
6) Refrigerate until firm and set. To unmould before serving, dip tin into hot water and hold for 5 seconds. This melts outside of mixture vry slightly and enables sides of tin to be unclipped easily without dragging. If sides remain obstinate, dip tin in hot water for another 5 seconds or so. Wipe dry. Leave cake on base.
7) Decorate top with reserved mandarins and grated chocolate then cut into portions with a knife dipped in hot water. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
