I believe that yesterday I stumbled upon the gastronomical memory or after glow. Omelettes are a favorite of mine to make, with eggs, a little milk, onions, garlic, ham slices, cheese (a buttery Norwegian cheese yesterday), freshly ground pepper, Cajun seasoning, herbs, and topped with Mango sauce....

"I'm a conservative Lutheran," I told a temporary worker/Baptist pastor at work in a conversation. "But what does that mean?" he asked me. Does that mean I am faithful to following what Luther taught or more deliberately following what the Bible teaches? The pastor assured me that he believed Luther... Sign in to see full entry.

The weather was hotter the two previous days before I went to work, but at work it feels hotter. I drank a lot of water, but maybe not enough. At one point in the afternoon, I felt a spasm in my right knee and found it somewhat painful to move it. I may not have been hydrated enough. Drinking plenty... Sign in to see full entry.

The last time I was in the dentist's office, I thought my bill was settled when I left the office. But several weeks later, a dental bill came in the mail. It was for $233 dollars.

I hoped for a year's supply of gas, but I received instead a fishing rod and reel. Being allergic to fish, however, I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

No consideration, No consideraton. That's what workers have who leave the shift early while others on the team are dependent on them. That's what happened today at work, where we often have to rely on rotating breaks from one person to another. One lady took an unscheduled restroom break, then took... Sign in to see full entry.

In terms of the Republican Presidential campaign, it should have been a slam dunk when Supreme Court Judge John Roberts declared that the mandate for The Affordable Care bill was not a penalty but a tax. Instead, we have observed Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney bumbling around inconsistently when... Sign in to see full entry.

When our founding fathers signed a document 236 years ago, it was called The Declaration of Independence, not The Declaration of Dependence. Sadly, there are too many people groomed today by liberal leaders to expect entitlement after entitlement, such as food stamps....even contraceptives. What do... Sign in to see full entry.
