A day in the life of President Bush (1/23/05) photos
WhiteHouse.gov; various news sources ^ | 1/23/05

The first family attended church this morning. Afterwards, the President headed to Camp David where he was to meet with his advisors to work on his State of the Union Address.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I use, but by the history we have seen together. For a half century, America defended our own freedom by standing watch on distant borders. After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical - and then there came a day of fire.

Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of liberty - though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals. Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul. We do not accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the possibility of permanent slavery. Liberty will come to those who love it.

President George W. Bush, 2nd Inaugural Address, January 20, 2005

Swing by Crawford if you can (if you've never been)--the people in the Western WH gift shop will give you directions to Pairie Chapel Ranch

Just turn right at the only light across the rail road tracks, you can't miss it...

It's great that your daughter has the opportunity to have animals in her life while she's young. I think being around animals and caring for them is good for children. As a child, I couldn't have any animals. As an adult, I haven't been without multiple animals in my life in many years.

Thanks for typing up the recipe. Am I reading it correctly to imagine it as a sort of muffin with a crusty lower edge (from the oil), or does the oil get drawn up into the pudding? Is it good for soaking up gravy? What is the consistency / texture?

I am a New England fan from when I was old enough to know there was an NFL.
I always like the name "Patriots", I thought of them as Paul Revere characters and very noble.

We didn't eat Wendy's for our health, we ate it because it was cheap! I don't eat it anymore either . . .

When I was pregnant with our son I craved Big Macs from Mc.Donalds. Since I had horrible morning sickness and was losing weight, the dr. said to eat whatever I wanted so many big macs it was . . . guess what? Now I can't stand the thought of them! Haven't had one for 13+ years. UGH.

That sounds great, prairie!

So not only am I stuck with fish stew, but I have to stay in cold, snowy Canada.

Gee, with the fish stew, cold and snow, I sound like an Eskimo.

I ate Wendy's because it was cheap too, but once I was able to subsist on something a bit more nutritional, I went for it!

About an hour from Kitchener, homemom.

They have a great market...lots of Mennonites in that area.

My parents always let us have animals of various kinds--rabbits, goats, my sister had geese, many pigs, etc., etc., etc. It was always a great experience to have the responsibility of caring for them, and of course life-lessons of birth and death. I always wanted my kids to have that experience and I think our daughter might someday have a career with animals, whether owning a pet shop, a vet, or zookeeper or dolphin trainer.

I feel bad for parents who won't let their kids have pets--one of my daughter's friends doesn't have any pets and just loves it at our house--always excited to help feed and pet them. And they all seem to know she's unfamiliar with animals so are friendly and gentle with her.

I've never had fish stew. What kinds of fish go well in it? Is it kind of like a beef or chicken stew as far as the other ingredients? Thick or thin sauce?

So can you stand the thought of those greasy patties anymore? I do have to say their salads are yummy--many of the fast food places have salads now and for the most part are of good quality--guess they're thinking of the moms who drive thru with their little kids all the time.

Twice recently I've heard a Fox News announcer or reporter welcome Canadian viewers to the Fox family. Do you know what happened to make Fox available (Finally!) to Canadians? It followed very shortly after W met with your PM.

My sister talks about the market a lot.

So were you born in Canada, or moved there for school, marriage, etc? My sister met her husband in college in the US and they moved there after they graduated.

Things here in Iowa are allright, cold as usual. The wind is the worst, as I am sure you are aware, it seemed especially bitter today, not sure why.

Oh and I am majoring in Materials engineering. Nanotechnology and all that. I am particularly interested in electronics (quantum mechanics and such). We are a pretty small department. My class (junior) has around 50 people in it or so. Yeah, that Am. Indians guy definitely had an agenda, it was unbearable. And I have had some biased professors before. I was taking that class for my "diversity requirement". Ugggg, I should've known better I guess. I thought it would be interesting, silly me.

They are crisp and the bottom of them sometimes are cakey in texture but if you use water as well as milk then all you end up with is really a crust with the individual ones.

Sorry I am not very good at explaining maybe kitkat can explain better

...one of my daughter's friends doesn't have any pets and just loves it at our house...

Heck, from the sound of it, I would love it at your house. :-)

I have to indulge about 5 times a year in a big, greasy burger. But when I'm choosing the meal around my house, it's going to be grilled fish and green veggies or something like that.
Being raised by medical nutritionists, you get accustomed to food like that and feel sick when you get too many processed foods.

Look at you, posting a link! I think that's the first time I've seen that.

They look really yummy. I saved your recipe and will try them when I have stew again.
