RE: Go Ahead! Laugh! You Know You Want To!.

Hi Roger,

It's so good to see you here. I'm always Happy when I can pass on a few Smiles to my Friends.

We all need to Smile from time to time. Of course I'm Lucky, God always gives me so many things to Smile about.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME SMILE

Old women or waitresses who call me “honey” and young children who call me “Sir.”

When good things happen to good people, and conversely, when bad things happen to bad people.

Men and women proudly wearing our country’s uniform, and any kind of unabashed and unapologetic displays of Patriotism.

A beautifully-performed, heart-felt piece of music.

An idea poignantly and powerfully conveyed by perfectly chosen words strung together in just the right order, as in pure poetry.

My purring and contented kitty in my lap, on my shoulder, by my side.

Time spent relaxing and laughing with my Family & Friends.

Getting a message, piece of mail, phone call, or surprise visit from a good friend.

Witnessing any act of charity and selflessness.

Seeing a smile upon a previously tear-stained face.

Cuddling up in a cozy chair with a good book on a rainy day.

Firing up the grill in the garage and cooking for my Family & Friends.

And, of course, the unconditional love & trust of a child with his or her Parents.

Thanks For Sharing Your Day With Me My Friend,

Phil

Phil

Hi Phil,

I wasn't sure whether to post this one in one of your recipe threads or here. Since it's cute I chose this thread.

I realize it doesn't suit your present diet but the pics can make your mouth water. :)

Shalom,

Peter


Here's a new twist on how to serve burgers and if you don't cook, give this handy little guide to someone that does and request them.




Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs with slits for toes and tail.

Next step. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy...just how a turtle should be, no?

Hi Peter,

Now that's just plum cute! I appreciate the recipe and while I'll admit that it does cause my mouth to salivate just a little bit over the way I used to eat, I don't think my body could stand the shock of all of the Fat, Grease, and Calories any longer.

Actually, I have eaten my share of Turtle over the years, stewed, fried, and baked. However, it's no picnic for our bodies when it comes to nutrition either. An average 8oz. Serving of Cooked Turtle meat has 357 Calories, 140 of which are from Fat, and while it is high in Protein at 53 grams, it also contains 133mg of Cholesteral and 338mg of Sodium. Sounds yummy doesn't it! I can almost hear my arteries hardening now.

Have A Terrific Weekend,

Phil
