weekend six

Sunday Six

I grabbed a pot handle and lifted it with my left hand, it having just come out of a 375 degree oven. I kept ice on it ALL night, and remarkably very view blisters.

Note to self, buy a large casserole that is for oven only, keep stove top casseroles for stove top only.

I have been down the last few days and I think it's the gloomy gray skies. I hear sun is in the near future.

Tomorrow I will be talking to the health department about starting up my business at the FM. Oh joy, oh joy!

My head is going crazy with trying to figure out what to sell. I can't sell my fruit salsas, but I am thinking I could sell some fruit sauces. smileys/tongue.gif

I think my younger sister may come for a visit during spring break. Yay!

 
You are very lucky to be so disciplined, and that you can take off

just a few pounds before it gets out of hand. That is wonderful!

 
My Sunday Six. This is my first attempt at writing one, but I've had so much fun reading yours,

that I thought I might try to contribute one.

1. Attended a fabulous production of Pensacola, FL Opera CAV/PAG this afternoon. The tunes are still ringing in my head!

2. Shared dinner with opera seat companions (Mr. and Mrs. Bill Foley, who better to share 3/17 with, except that they are Jewish, another story) at McGuire's Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL. Corned Beef and Cabbage to get a head start on St. Patrick's Day.

3. Looking forward to the HBO premier tonight of "The Pacific", a 10-part mini-series about America's battle against the Japanese during the Second World War. This has special meaning for DH, USMCR, because two of the Marines portrayed are from our neck of the woods, Mobile, AL: author Eugene Sledge, "With the Old Breed", and Dr. Sidney Phillips, a retired medical doctor who lives in Mobile, and who shared battle experiences with Gene Sledge. We plan to watch the show when we get home.

4. Surprise of the evening: Opera and dinner companion Bill Foley was a coxswain on a landing craft that took the Marines ashore on invading islands in the Pacific War. DH and I broke bread tonight with one of the heroes depicted in this spectacular new mini-series.

5. Watched Part I of The Pacific mini-series with retired Marine Corps DH and he explained all the things that these heroes did. Cannot comprehend it all.

6. Pondered what it all means today.

 
Love it, I am only really versed in....

the English and European side of the last wars. But all the trials and tribulations of course happened on all sides/happen for every war...only horrifying thing in our minds was the Americans had all the same things to deal with Plus Bamboo stakes and all that goes with that side of the world (Pacific).
Urgh, if only all ethnic groups could get on well with each other in this world, wouldn't we live in a wonderful world (rose-tinted spectacles)(Loved Avatar, of course)

 
Please remember a (skin washed) cut white potato...the starch does more for ...

that kind of burn than ice does....bigger burns you can grate the tat and put a poltice like wad of it on...however the potato does need to be re-sliced every now and then to get more starch to take the sting away.....
Truely an extremely good way to deal with a burn that is not open.
Proved time and time again.

 
Here is a link to an article from yesterday's Parade Magazine, that will explain a lot about the

Pacific War Theater, and the bravery of these two young men, Gene Sledge and Sid Phillips. A fascinating look into History! joanie, this might fill in some of the gaps about the war in the Pacific.

Didn't see Avatar, but I agree with you, why can't we all just learn to get along with each other?
