A little humor....

The Restaurant

A group of 40 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed upon that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the waiters there had tight pants and nice buns.

10 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the food there was very good and the wine selection was good also.

10 years later, at 60 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because they could eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean.

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because the restaurant was wheel chair accessible and they even had an elevator.

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View Restaurant because they had never been there before.

*Farmers Cheese* Things You'll Need: 2 quarts Whole Milk 2 cups Buttermilk 1 tbsp. White Vinegar Salt Colander or Strainer Clean Cheesecloth Heavy Pot Large Pot or Bowl Storage Container with Lid Put 2 quarts of milk in a large pot and bring it to 180 degrees over low heat, stirring frequently. (Use candy thermometer, this will take some time as to not scorch the milk) Add 2 cups of buttermilk and stir, then add the vinegar and stir. Turn off the heat and stir slowly until the mixture starts to separate. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Do not disturb the mixture during this time. While waiting, line a colander with at least two layers of rinsed cheesecloth. Using a large spoon or ladle, put the curds (the solids) into the cheesecloth-lined colander. I added salt at this time. Let the curds drain for at least an hour. Occasionally gather up the cheesecloth around the cheese to apply some pressure to the cheese to help it drain. You can also tie the cheese up in the cheesecloth to keep pressure on it. Transfer the cheese to a storage container and store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. This recipe yeilds about one pound of cheese. I saw Anthony Bourdain have farmers cheese with honey on crackers & tried it....delish! You can use this cheese in many applications, pierogies, crepes & anything you would use ricotta for. Pressed & drained further it can be used on mexican food dishes as a queso fresco. Mix it with 8 oz cream cheese, garlic & your favorite herbs to make boursin cheese.

Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports.

Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you!

It would be a win-win for everyone - there would be none of this crap about racial profiling and would eliminate a long and expensive trial.

Justice would be quick and swift. Case Closed!

This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion.

Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers we now have a seat available on flight number..."

"Clean-up" at gate No. 34
