California Grill Sandwiches FREE SUBSCRIBER ADS ~*~ MAGGIE'S WORLD ~*~ Good afternoon to everyone. I hope this finds you well. As for me, I am still under the weather. Shame, too, as the weather has been gorgeous. I had the windows open yesterday which made the house feel so good while I went about the business of doing absolutely nothing that didn??t absolutely HAVE to be done. I don??t often do that...nothing...but I dedicated a huge chunk of my day to it, lol. My kids were a big help. Trey even made dinner for us. He was so very proud of his ???Dirty Rice???. Yes, he used some packaged rice with fresh ground beef but added a few things including some herbs from our window garden. Many grown men won??t fix a dinner so when my 12-year-old son gets in the kitchen to help out, I feel quite honored. And it turned out delicious (I think...I still cannot smell or taste very well due to this cold. Angela said it was ???dee-lish???). We have a pretty good issue for you today with a lot of great ideas for dinner. Our menu today is from Larry and one I believe you??ll enjoy and save for future use. I did. My thanks to those who have sent in recipes. They are very much appreciated, friends. I could use some more as I will try to get a few issues together while I am home ???resting??? and getting over this summer cold-sinus thingie I have. If I can recuperate (I will) I??ll be off to the lake for a week. We want those a2z issues in our inboxes every day, right? Thanks! Reminder: We are quickly losing the race in the cumuli.com votes. I believe the race was hard-won and it??s a shame to be number TWO. Your vote can make all the difference, daily, in whether we re-gain the top seed or fall behind. Won??t you please vote now?

We've done the quick bread recipes before but we can always use more, so you will be able to include any leavening you choose. Please share with our readers the recipes you enjoy when you want to serve freshly baked bread. This will be an exciting theme when we can collect and share favorites such as white bread, perhaps a whole wheat or cheese bread; how about some foccacia, or bruschetta? Don't forget to include the special date, banana and other fruit varieties. Try sharing some of those with us, as well as any you feel others would enjoy collecting and preparing. Look through those recipe files, cookbooks and clippings for some great recipes to submit to November's Theme Issue. The deadline for next month's theme issue is Friday, October 31st.

Mrs. Siegel went into Bergdorf-Goodman's, called over a salesman, pointed to white wool designer dress on a mannequin, and said, "Hey Sonny boy, so how much is the dress on that store dummy over there?" "That dress is $899.95, Madam," sneered the rather snotty salesman. "Oy! For $99.95 I could get the same dress at Klein's downtown!" "But Madam," said the salesman, "You'll find that the dress at Klein's is recycled wool. This original is 100% pure virgin wool." "So for $800 I should be caring what the lambs do at night?" Rita Chaplin, Waukegan, IL... It was our second anniversary, and my husband ordered flowers and had them sent to me at the office where I work. He told the florist to write, "Happy Anniversary, Beth.

RIBS 8 to 10 pounds pork ribs (3/4 pound strip of side ribs per person, or 3 to 4 back ribs per person) 1 medium onion 1 bay leaf 3 whole cloves BBQ Sauce: 4 cups ketchup 2 cups beef broth 3 onions, finely chopped ?? cup molasses 2 teaspoons ground cumin ?? cup dry mustard 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ?? teaspoon ground cloves ?? cup cider vinegar juice of 2 lemons (about ?? cup) 14 cup Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce ?? cup chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) if available Bring a large pot of water (large enough to hold the ribs) to a boil.

Heat any extra sauce in a saucepan with flameproof handle and serve with ribs.
