ZIPLOC OMELET
(This works great !!! Good for when all your family is
together. The best part is that no one has to wait for
their special omelet !!!)
Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc
freezer bag with permanent marker.
Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not
more than 2) shake to combine them.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham,
onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag
and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13
minutes
. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.
For more, make another pot of boiling water.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared
for everyone to be amazed.
Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets
involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting
the bag in boiling water while you get ready.
And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omelette for a quick
breakfast!!!
I used tomatoes, ham, green onions, cheddar cheese
and mushrooms in this one!
MMMMMMMM . . .
MMMMMMM good!!!
You can make box cake mix like this too!

He is going to be doing something with the computer in the control part of the ship.
How are you doing sweetheart? You must be so very busy, I understand. I'm hearing, on the news, how people are wanting to get tickets to see the "coronation". Oprah says to get in touch with your congressman to ask for them....or have you already tried???
I'm doing the same "stuff"...going to church, doctors, food shopping....very exciting adventures!!!
I'm happy that Mom is seeing Samuel. She says she laughs more with him than she ever has. They seem to be compatible. I think he is nice also. He treats her very well and that's what's important. She is so busy with school that she comes home tired. I spend the day in my room, it's very comfortable. I only go in the family room for a little while if your Mom's home. I can't get comfortable in my new "lift" recliner. The technicians will pick it up on Tuesday to put more stuffing in the front of the seat. That means we won't see it for a couple of weeks which makes the family room look so empty.
The house is very quiet. Guess I'll do some reading or watch a little TV.
Take care of yourself and I'm looking forward to seeing you, Uncle Jack and Sarah for Christmas. Frank joined the Navy and will leave the first part of December for his training somewhere in the mid-west. He is going to be doing something with the computer in the control part of the ship. I think that's what Uncle Jack said.
Lots of love and God bless you.

A Life in the Day: Doris Lessing, Nobel-winning novelist
The writer, who is 89 this month, won the Nobel prize for literature last year — the oldest recipient of the award. She lives in northwest London with her cat, Yum-Yum. Her new book, On Cats, is out in paperback From the Times of London.
I’m up early to feed Yum- Yum. I got her when she was middle-aged and thought it funny to call her after a glamorous future empress. Yum-Yum was one of the “three little maids from school” in the Mikado, who ended up marrying the Mikado’s son, Nanki-Poo. My own breakfast is just plain yoghurt. I used to drink coffee but can’t have caffeine any more. I stick to water and my son Peter’s Diet Coke. Delia, my Peruvian treasure, shops for me and does some cleaning. But this house is never clean. There’s too much of it — seven flights of stairs. I rarely climb more than two of them now.
I have to lie down for an hour in the morning and afternoon. When my back gave way I learnt a marvellous new phrase: wear and tear. I asked the doctor why my back hurt. “Wear and tear, my dear,” he said. So that’s what I’ve got. In the Royal Free hospital recently, the consultant told me I have heart failure. Then he said: “But think nothing of it.” In my vocabulary, failure associated with heart means dead or dying. He assured me it was just an expression for when you have two things wrong with the heart. I never used to give my health a moment’s thought. Now
I feel consumed by it. This week I was told I have a wonderful complexion and shiny eyes. I put that down to indignation at how I feel! I have no energy any more. It’s intolerable, especially when I think of how I used to be.
After my morning lie-down I read the Telegraph and The Independent, then I might scribble a few letters. The fact is that ever since I won the Nobel, all I do is talk — whether I know anything about the subject or not. I once gave a talk at a university in New York. At the end, a girl asked: “Now, Mrs Lessing, tell me the meaning of life.” I replied: “What makes you think I know it?” She said: “Come on. Don’t be like that. Don’t hold out on us.”
I knew what would happen when I won the Nobel, because I have friends — Nadine Gordimer and J M Coetzee — who are Nobel prize-winners. They warned me I’d have to talk for a year and wouldn’t be able to do a stroke of work. So journalists and photographers troop in. But soon there’ll be another winner. What a relief — they’ll do all the talking instead of me. I’m bored stiff with myself. I miss writing, but am not sure it will ever come back. Maybe at 90 that’s what happens. But then I know one 80-year-old who might just as well turn up her toes, and a woman of 93 who’s as chipper as anything. I’m sure people decide to be old. I’ve always had lots of friends of all ages. Now I can’t get out of the house much, they come here.
Lunch is toast with something spread on it. I expect to be told next that I’ve got an ulcer or something serious. I can’t eat the things I used to love — citrus fruit, tomatoes, curries at night. After my toast I lie down again. When I’m not talking, I read. I’ve just finished two terrifying books by the geneticist Bryan Sykes — The Seven Daughters of Eve and Adam’s Curse: A Future without Men. If you like men, the second is more frightening. It’ll keep you up all night. I’ve also enjoyed Nick Rankin’s Churchill’s Wizards, about the extraordinary things we did in the war. Having lived through a world war, I know there’s nothing we can’t cope with. I was always being told by soldiers that war was mostly about being bored, with times of tremendous action. Between Monte Cassino and the Normandy landings, they were half-witless with boredom.
I give away mountains of books to Africa and Oxfam and anyone else who comes here. I get The New Yorker, which is always inviting readers to read more books. I buy armfuls from the local bookseller in West Hampstead. I phone up and somebody collects them for me.
It’s lovely to have money to give away — that’s the bonus of winning the Nobel. I support Oxfam, Shelter and Centrepoint. I’ve also got a fondness for a local cat-and-dog home and an organisation to help writers. I was much too proud to write begging letters when I was broke. Miraculously, two people I’d never met said they’d heard I was hard up and enclosed some money. They were communists and told me that when I had enough I should pass on the money to somebody else who needed it. I’ve been doing it ever since.
There’s nothing I want. We all have too much stuff. Luxury has never interested me, but I enjoyed staying at good hotels when I travelled. In Vienna, at the Hotel Sacher, I was in my room, marvelling at the rugs, eating sachertorte, thinking, “This is perfection,” when a piece of chandelier fell on the floor. I laughed — perfection is not so easily achieved.
In the evening I cook for myself and anybody else who happens to be here, but I’m too lazy to cook for parties any more. Once upon a time I thought nothing of cooking for 40. I gave a party at the weekend and ordered a raft of mezes for 15 people from Mango, our local Lebanese restaurant.
Bedtime is much too early for my taste. Lights out at 11 doesn’t suit me. It makes me bad-tempered. At least I have interesting dreams. Last night I dreamt about a Jesus-type figure in Palestine in the old days — which is not really my country at all. It was very convincing. This Jesus chap was worrying about what he was going to get for people to eat. Ordinary problems — just like a housewife’s.

My Jewish Grandparents Live in Florida
Subject: McCain
The great "Schluppe" is not working. I have not heard from my beloved first born grandchild. Black mail is notbeneath me. When can I expect to see my "Birdie".We will be leaving on our cruise 11/7/08 through 11/17/08. Any time before or after would insure a vote foryour candidate?
My granpa promised to vote for Obama if I booked a ticket to come visit them before the election. I still haven't booked that flight for a couple of reasons. First, because I'm broke and lazy. Second, because I secretly think my grandpa will vote for McCain anyways. Notice his subtle misuse of the question mark at the end of the last sentence...

We have heard from 2 IRS - 1st one Fresno CA. 2nd one Austin. Please try to "call off the dogs" for the Austin IRS. We shouldn't have 2 IRS's bugging us. And Austin has been more rude and less courteous.

Homeowners in crisis need relief now
My Friends,
Millions of Americans on Main Street are feeling the effects of our
current economic crisis largely brought on by corruption and greed at
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Wall Street. Our next president must come
into office with a plan to address the very root the failing housing
market.
Last night, during my debate with Senator Obama, I announced my plan
to fix the root of our problem and I'd like to share a little more
with you today.
If elected president, I will direct my Treasury Secretary to implement
an American Homeownership Resurgence Plan to keep families in their
homes, avoid foreclosures, save failing neighborhoods, stabilize the
housing market and attack the roots of our financial crisis.
America's families are bearing a heavy burden from falling housing
prices, mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures, and a weak economy. It
is important that those families who have worked hard enough to
finance homeownership not have that dream crushed under the weight of
the wrong mortgage.
For those that cannot make inflated payments or their mortgage exceeds
the value of their home, mortgages must be re-structured to put losses
on the books and put homeowners in manageable mortgages.
This Resurgence Plan would purchase mortgages directly from homeowners
and mortgage servicers, and replace them with manageable, fixed-rate
mortgages that will keep families in their homes.
By purchasing the existing, failing mortgages the resurgence plan will
eliminate uncertainty over defaults, support the value of
mortgage-backed derivatives and alleviate risks that are freezing
financial markets.
I am ready to lead our country out of this financial crisis and I am
ready to work with anyone and everyone who will help. Together, I know
we can work together to find solutions for these challenging times.
Please do your part today and spread the word about my new plan by
forwarding this email on to your neighbors, friends, family and
coworkers. Thank you for your time and support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. Homeownership represents the very core of our American economic
system. This is not the time for politics. We must move aggressively
to provide relief and stability for all Americans.

Hope you had a nice w/e.
Walked w/ your Mom & Lily this AM & then Less. & I jogged about 1 1/2 miles.(we did finished before dark). Less said she spoke to you Wed. You have identified the various country offices you interface w/ haven't developed real good rapport, something that will be a challenge for you, & a feather in your cap if you can achieve some improvement, 70% is good, 80% is better & so forth.

After opening about five forwarded emails, I came across this gem of a chain letter from my grandma:
Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? !
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But ,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.
'REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE ARE ALIVE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO SHOOT THEM'
'LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!'

need to rest up
How good to hear from you! I'm glad you had a restful weekend as you looked to me like you needed some rest. So you are making paninis for lunch. I'm not even sure I know what a panini is (a smashed sandwich?). Can't wait to see the pictures and hope I have no technical difficulties seeing them. I am such a clutz! Jane and Joe came out Fri. and stayed overnight. They are ten years older than we are and I was really shaken at how frail they both were. Jane's brain is fine but physically she was very much like mom was the last year or so. Better live while the livin' is good! Awaiting pictures! Much love,Gramma

that reply button can be so confusing
On second thought, sometimes a get a message about a quotation mark that isn't matched so I go up into the address field and delete the single one and then the message can be sent. This seems to happen when I hit 'reply'.

HELLO
Dear Adam: Have not heard from you in a long time and just wanted to say HELLO. Hope that all is well with you and you are not suffering too much from the hot and humid weather. We are also having extremely hot weather. In fact, yesterday I never went outside except ro get the newspapers. By the way, saw a movie that you might be interested in. Before and now. One of the best movies that I have seen this year. That is all for today. Love you and am so proud of you. Your grandmother
This was the one of the first emails I recieved from my grandmother after she figured out how to turn the caps lock off and on.

catching up
HI Kelly
Mom told me last night she had a chance to talk to you as you were flying home from Washington.
Mom also said that you really enjoyed your time in Washington....
I have NOT spent any real time in Seattle....... Just in the airport as I was passing thru.
Mom also said that you took the red eye flight back to D.C.
thanks Dennis

My grandfather just can't seem to figure out why I don't respond back instantanteously to his many forwards and chain letters. So as if to alert me of my own disappearance and make me feel like a jerk, the subjects of his most recent emails have been an endless strand of question marks.

Subject: Forgot
Hi honey, I keep forgetting to ask you about the
"camera" you installed on my computer. As I understand
your Dad was going to give you one for Christmas...did
you ever get it and install it??? Because I haven't
used it yet...in fact I forgot what you told me. I
have 10 minutes of free time since it was installed.
I heard, on the TV, how dangerous it is in Puerto
Rico. Murders have increased and people are hestitant
about going there...which is understandable. Mom told
me that you and Erin were thinking about going there.
Please check it out first, honey.
Lots of love, Gram
