My whole family is home and I am cooking for them and we are eating together as a family for 3 meals a day or we are on the road most of the weekend and eating junk food outside.I therefore have to try to make different choices of food. I looovvve Chinese food and this is the worst so I got to overcome this obstacle.

George said, "Okay," and hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
Hello. I just called you a few seconds agao because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now, because I've shot them all."

Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burgular red-handed.

Romantic Poem

Reflections of a Beautiful Morning

The sun rised above the hillcrest,
As does the joy of my heart;
Rays of warmth and love,
From her I will never depart.

Fresh dew upon the grass,
Young birds chirp in thier nest;
I watch her gently sleep,
My love to her I silently profess.
enjoy the stillness and calm,

watching as she smiles and dreams;
She brings me to stillness and peace,
like that of a slow flowing stream
My heart and soul flow with love

And I smile as I quietly reflect;
I've been handed a sweet princess
A sweet princess to love and to protect

A vow to myself I make,
As she quietly sleeps away;
To love and always cherish her
Until my last breath...until my last day.

Recipe of the Week

Hello everyone, I got a request from Ms. Latina for the recipe for the healthy whole wheat bread. Thanks to her, now I hope everyone will enjoy their own version of healthy bread. Great for all you bread lovers like me. Let me know if you have any problems. Remember every spoil is a style.
Whole Wheat Bread
Ingredients
1 lb whole wheat flour1 lb white flour1 tsp salt2 oz butter/lard 1 oz yeast4 tsp sugar (can substitute Splenda)Warm water (approximately 16 ounces or 2 cups)
You can also add some flax seed or grains to spice it up (Optional)
How to Prepare
· Liquefy the sugar in a little warm water then sprinkle yeast on top and allow rising.
· Put flour and salt through a sieve, and add about ¼ of the total amount of flour to the yeast mixture. Cover and leave in a warm place to set, (i.e. until the mixture is bubbly) -- about 1 hour.
· If butter/lard is used, rub it into the remainder of the flour using fingertips or a fork until the mixture is like breadcrumbs.
· Add this flour to yeast mixture and knead well until smooth elastic dough is formed. Add some more warm water if necessary, as hard dry dough does not rise well.
· Put the dough in a greased or floured bowl, cover and leave to rise to twice its size.
· Knead lightly to avoid bursting any bubbles, and without using extra flour if necessary. Mould or shape into loaves.
· Cover and prove (i.e. put to rise again for 20 - 30 minutes).
· Bake in an over at 325 degrees, until thoroughly cooked (Approx 55-65 minutes).
