Guest Chef Spotsybelle

Posted on 08/23/2005 7:57:43 PM PDT by Spotsy


For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in
The United States Armed Forces.


Looking forward to tomorrow's freedom?
Support The United States Armed Forces Today!


Welcome Troops, Veterans, Military Families, Allies, and FRiends!
Tomkow twisted the chef's arm and made all kinds of burka-related threats demanding that the Canteen celebrate National Waffle Day. Thank goodness this day only comes once a year!

Born on this Day
1905 Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, delta blues singer and guitarist;
best known outside blues circles for writing songs later covered by Elvis Presley such as "That's All Right Mama" and
"My Baby Left Me"


On this Day in History
79 Mount Vesuvius, east of Naples, Italy,
erupted and buried Pompeii

On this Day in History
410 Rome was overrun by the Visigoths , led by King Alaric; although no longer the official capital city, Rome's fall to Alaric symbolized the end of the Western Roman Empire


On this Day in History
1814 British forces under General Robert Ross
sacked Washington, DC, burning the Capitol and White House

On this Day in History
1989 Gambling Pete Rose was permanently suspended from
Major League Baseball for betting on the games


Don't forget the syrup!
PANCAKES next Wednesday
definitely, troops!

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

During an interview one day, Barbara Bush, famed for her down-to- earth nature, sought to address certain misconceptions about her appearance.

"There's a myth going around that I don't dress well," she declared.

"I dress very well - I just don't look so good!"
