Take a look! EVERYONE who has tried and commented has said it is a GREAT way to view A to Z Recipes! Go ahead! Try it...you??™ll LIKE it. You??™ll never go back to text. http://www.a2zrecipes.net/11122003.html Good morning to everyone out there. I do hope this finds you well and rested. While I have not mentioned it, I have had the flu. I??™ve done my best to work through it and isolate myself from co-workers. I also had the brakes go out on my car (a loud ???ching-ching??? was heard like the cash register at the automotive repair shop). Since I could NOT drive my vehicle that way, I took it in for repairs and they could not guarantee the work would be done in time for me to go to work so I took off. There was staff enough to cover my absence so no biggie. Seems I should have gotten some sleep but being on nights has really screwed up my sleep so I am awake. I feel better than I have for a few days so that is good. Every time I think I will get ahead financially something ELSE happens. But, the vehicle is repaired and I feel safer using it now. I wonder how I can break it to my son that for his B-I-G 13th birthday, Mother got him a brake job? I??™ll figure this one out. I always do! I??™ve been swept up in yet another ???publishing fiasco??? the past two days. It seems a recipe that an a2z reader asked for me to post has caused some problems. You see, I knew it was from another recipe-zine, and as much as I did NOT want to publish it, it had attached a really nice blurb about how great the newsletter was, its publisher and all, so I thought it would be fine (as the submitter is friends with the publisher, and she is wanting to help the other lady out). Right. Well, as MY luck would have it, the publisher of the other recipe-ezine was NOT happy. Seems an a2z subscriber joined her list, had some ???words??? with her, then criticized me for having recommended her. (I learned a LONG time ago...you can pick your nose but you can??™t pick your subscribers.) Here is her email to me (ONE of them). I have removed names to protect the parties involved but NOTHING else has been altered. Please take note of the FACTS: it was a ???friend??? of the publisher who sub- mitted the recipe, a very nice FREE ad accompanied the recipe, as well as a complete link for subscribing and the recipe was edited but not per a2z standards as it was a BIG issue and time did not allow... ???hello I think you should fix my credits. There is one bottom line - respect. We should all respect each other's efforts. Period. Amen. I think that if we work on that basis, we never make a mistake. Don't you agree? I do believe it was a subscriber who took my recipes and sent them in without a link. Maybe you knew about the fact that they were my recipes and SHOULD HAVE automatically contacted me. The world doesn't always do what I think they should, however. I automatically put a link to a site for anyone who has contributed a recipe. I think that's fine and that it's respectful. I don't think someone will abandon my site just because they find others and if they do, that's fine with me. Personally, I believe that when we forge alliances, we both win in the end. So, I think you should have told me but you are willing to correct it without any hassle and that is a very big point in your favor. You might have lot of the same readers as I do. That could happen since we are both on cumuli. I request a link and hope you would tell me any recipe you plan to use just for plain courtesty. I also don't understand why good old xxxxx talked about you , fixing my english. That would indicate articles, not recipes. Is there any mention of that? please acknowledge. XXXX P.s - by the way, I was told you are a nice lady............LOL (a police officer?!)??? My dearest readers---I have only TWO things to say on this: 1. Please do not submit recipes from other recipe-zines. 2. Is anyone interested in publishing THIS recipe-zine? Have a great day. I will try to join you. Interested in seeing previous issues (archives)? Only very recent issues are located here: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Archives.html (COMING SOON!): Since November 2000 are located here: http://www.zinester.com/archives/62028/ The previous issues are located here: http://www.topica.com/lists/A2ZRecipes/read Our Current Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen" The theme for the month of November (to be posted on the first Sunday in December) is "Gifts from the Kitchen". A gift from the kitchen is twice blessed; it gives pleasure to the giver as well as to the receiver. We're looking for recipes for gifts that are homemade in your own kitchen, whether they are edible or not (maybe even soaps or bath/shower additives?). Some cookie or brownie in a jar recipes (don't forget the instructions for the cards to be included inside the jar!) or perhaps homemade candy recipes? Do you have a recipe for a biscuit mix (make ahead biscuits where all the recipient does is add water and bake) or a multi-purpose cake or muffin mix? Some tried-and- true recipes would certainly be appropriate as we would want to offer our friends and family only the finest. Please read the rules for recipe submissions and sent to the correct email address. Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen" A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues. We will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of each month. Send your recipes no later than the last Friday of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme issue. You may send in as many recipes in each email as your little heart desires. If the number of recipes exceeds those needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for regular, daily issues. The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting. The rules are as follows: As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for their own use. Recipes that would require a lot of editing or cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be submitted. This would include recipes with traces from forwarding, those in ALL caps (or NO caps), and recipes that do not contain the standards for recipes (title, ingredient list, and instructions). Recipes without a name/location of sender will NOT be posted. A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT publish email addresses. There will be no exceptions. Send recipes you'd like to share to: a2zrecipes@fastmail.fm (Use the theme name as subject.) The deadline for next month's theme issue is Friday, November 28th. Theme recipes must have subject: "Gifts from the Kitchen" and will be posted on Sunday, December 7th. Did you vote? Vote for A to Z Recipes Here: http://www.cumuli.com/ezines/ra20729.rate Thanks!

When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday - Blue Tuesday - Green Thursday - Red Friday - White Saturday - Yellow So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie - not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers do have different twist ties, and even the one with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday!!! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping. Pass this information onto friends so they can be informed also. Frederick??™s of Hollywood.

Saturday: Pick up the pieces. Vicki, Sarasota, FL... THIS IS PRETTY FUNNY!! For all of you who have or have had small children... we can relate! And the rest of us can just laugh till we pee! My three year old son had a lot of problems with potty training; and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course, I checked my seven month old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Matt had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him and he said, "No." I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident and I didn't have any clean clothes with me." Then I said, "Matt are you sure you did not have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just knew that he must have, because the smell was getting worse! Sooooo.... I asked one more time, "Matt, did you have an accident?" Matt jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled.... "SEE, MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!!" While 100 people nearly choked to death on their tacos, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down to eat his food as if nothing had happened. I was mortified! Some kind elderly people made me feel a lot better, when they came over and thanked me for the best laugh they had ever had!!! Another old gentleman stopped us in the parking lot as we were leaving, bent over to my son and said, "Don't worry son, my wife accuses me of the same thing all the time.. I just never had the nerve to make the point like you did." Larry, Ontario, Canada... You Know You Need Help With Computers When... 1. Booting up means putting on winter footwear. 2.

Stir occasionally. This makes enough for about 30 "wingettes" The Wings: Fry the wings in a deep fryer set at 375 degrees F., using vegetable or peanut oil. Frying 15 wings at a time for 12-15 minutes works good. Drain the wings for a few minutes then put them in a bowl. After all the wings have been fried, pour the sauce over them, cover the bowl, and shake to completely coat the wings. * They can be eaten now, or you can put them on a baking sheet and bake them for a few minutes to get an extra-crispy coating. Arrange on a large platter and serve with the Blue Cheese dressing and celery sticks.
