Macaroni And Cheese
With Vegetables
------------------------------
Serves 6
Ingredients:
-----------------------------
8 oz (250 grms) Pasta
(bow-ties or ribbed)
3 tb Butter-Ghee or
Margarine, divided
1 tb Unbleached Flour
3/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Grated Cheddar

2 cups Broccoli florets
½ cup Black Olives
Med sweet red pepper,chopped

water to boil; cook pasta until al dente.
While pasta is cooking,
in med saucepan, melt 2 Tbs. of the ghee,
butter fat or margarine.
Remove from heat; add
flour and salt, and stir until blended in
to make the base of
a sauce.
Whisk in milk, stirring
over med heat until mixture comes to a
boil and thickens.
Reduce heat to low.
Stir in cheeses and
spices - and add the Olives
(some may prefer to
put the Olives on top).
Continue stirring until
cheese is melted.
Remove from heat and
set aside.
In a large skillet,
melt remaining 1 T margarine.
Add remaining ingredients.
Cook vegetables, stirring
constantly, for about 5 minutes,
until tender/crisp.
Reduce heat to low.
When noodles are done,
drain well.

stir in cheese sauce.
If you are REALY adventurous
sprinkle the top with a layer of
cheese and bake in the

may prefer to have the Olives on top with
a little added White
Pepper, Paprika and Basil.)
Offer hot
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
CHURROS
1 cup (250 ml) milk
2 cups (500 ml) water
1 Tbs (15 ml) Ghee or
vegetable oil
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose
flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking
powder
1/4 tsp (1 ml) vanilla
extract
Ghee or Vegetable oil
for deep frying
Powdered (confectioner's)
sugar, or Vanilla sugar for dusting
Combine the milk, water,
tablespoon of vegetable oil, and salt in a
large saucepan and bring
almost to a boil over high heat. Add the
flour a little at a
time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon over
low heat. When
it has formed a smooth paste, remove it from the heat
and add the baking powder
and vanilla. Continue stirring until
thoroughly combined.
Heat the oil to a temperature of about 325F
(160C), or until the
surface shimmers. Place the dough in a pastry
bag with a wide, star
tip. Typically, churros are about 1/2 inch (1
cm) in diameter, with
ridges running their length. Pipe the dough
into the hot oil, forming
straight fritters 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20
cm) in length.
Fry until golden brown and remove to paper towels to
drain. Serve immediately,
dusted with powdered sugar.
Serves 6 to 8.

A man spoke frantically
into the phone,
"My wife is pregnant

"Is this her first child?"

[Text 2315302 from COM]
If lawyers are disbarred
and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow
that electricians can
be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys
deranged, models deposed,
tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners
depressed?
If you take an Oriental
person and spin him around several times,
does he become disoriented?
Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?
Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
Why is it that if someone
tells you that there are 40 billion stars
in the universe you
will believe them, but if they tell you a wall
has wet paint you will
have to touch it to be sure?
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
A devotee was giving
class and was saying how wonderful the sanskrit
language is.
He was telling of the laws of grammar, and the Divine nature of it all.
He was saying how in
sanskrit there can be many meaning to words
unlike any other language.
He then told of grammar that allowed the
rare and near magical
use of a double positive to mean a negative
in a sentance.
At this point another devotee said, "Yeah, right!!!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
[Text 1521271 from COM]
A LESSON IN HIMILITY:
[What follows is a transcript
of an ACTUAL radio conversation
between a U.S. naval
ship and Canadian authorities off the coast
of Newfoundland.]
Canadians: Please divert
your course 15 degrees to the south to
avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend
you divert your course 15 degrees to the north
to avoid a collision.
Canadians: Negative.
You will have to divert your course 15 degrees
to the south to avoid
a collision.
Americans: This
is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE
AIRCRAFT CARRIER U.S.S. LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE
UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE
DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND
THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH. I SAY AGAIN,
THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER
MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN
TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: Er....this is a lighthouse. Your call.
