The president spoke with UN SG Kofi Annan about the international force being assembled for Lebanon; the Iranian regime's statement on its nuclear program; and the need to improve the situation in Darfur. He attended a fundraiser for Senator George Allen, R-VA.

President Bush met with Rockey Vaccarella, Louisiana victim of Hurricane Katrina, to discuss rebuilding efforts there.

That is it I in fact used it tonight to do the bacon and tomato on so I have to know clean it up :0)

but I think there is some squishiness about abortion with him.

I may be mistaken, but I thought that this was one of the issues where he thought the fed'l gov't should not interfere. That would be fine with me. I'm anti-abortion, but I am also anti-gov't regulation.

I love Miracle Whip. & loathe mayonnaise. LOL!

[ilovew]

I do too. Most Americans aren't thinking about 2008 yet. We tend to have a very short attention span. (Myself included. Must be the ADD that runs in my family...)

[luvie]

That is awesome....I sure do wish I could be there! I would consider it an honor for her to hold my sign! :D

You guys have a great time and keep the Pinko Freaks away from our guys. ;D

[snugs]

Great you made contact with iluveorgie I am a little jealous of the freepers who manage to met but maybe one day I will get to met a few of you.

[ilovew]

Polenta is similar. It's a slightly different texture but comes from the same thing :)

[snugs]

I thought it probably did the texture of the grits also reminded me of but not the same taste as semolina.

Miracle Whip fans unite!!!
I love the stuff too.
;OD

You can also put baked beans in the sandwiches as well

Yes! I got introduced to that treat when I worked in London. I do it now, too. And when I was in Australia, I got introduced to spaghetti on toast. I do that sometimes now, too.

My American friends think I'm weird, but so what..... :-)

As a kid we would use the food grinder on Sunday night to grind up the leftover roast beef from dinner, throw in some pickles, onions add mayo and voila.....dinner sandwich!

I think I gave my mom's grinder to my daughter. I wonder if she still has it. You are right about food processers not being the same.

[speekinout]

Great! :-)

[snugs]

I will do your toaster tomorrow Peach, now I have caught up with the post must go to bed - night all.

[GretchenM]

Curry is another flavor that I didn't meet until I was waaaay old, and then I discovered I really like it. My mom never used it and none of my friends' parents cooked with it when I ate at their homes.

[ilovew]

I'll be there soon! Not in time for next Friday but I can definitely come the one after that.

[snugs]

Yes tinned spaghetti on toast.

If I do baked beans on toast I add a little worchestershire sauce (Lea and Perrins) as well and a sprinkle of pepper.

[GretchenM]

Capers!

That's what the little green food is called.

Thanks...

I'm hoping to make it to the thread. Though I have an event much of the day Saturday...

[snugs]

I still do the Sunday roast and use the cold meat for dinner for the next or 2.
