Something I received from Barbara in Chula Vista, CA, really made me think...and pray. Please read: "Dear Maggie, I'm writing to request prayer for the people of San Diego County. The fires are very bad. There are fires 30 miles to the north of Chula Vista and 10 miles away to the east of us. South of us is Mexico and west is the Pacific Ocean. The air quality here is very bad. So much ash is falling that the parking lot here at my apartment building looks like snow. The cars are just icky. Is icky a word? Well, it is the only way I know to express it. You can look directly at the sun. The smoke is so thick that it looks like a golden red ball in the sky. I was surprised, it looks smaller than a full moon. First time in my 66 years that I have looked at the sun. There is a yellow glow with gray and brown overtones outside. The most frightening is the silence. No birds chirping, no crows calling. Just silence. The wind is still (which is good) but I have the feeling it might be the calm before the storm. San Diego is almost like paradise with our great weather, beaches and mountains. Well paradise has turned into hell. I have asthma and breathing is difficult. The schools are all closed and half the business places. So far, we have not been evacuated. We are just waiting. 12 are dead so far. 150 homes lost in the city of San Diego. Not the entire county, just the city. They have not released the figures for the entire county. Homes were lost in Crest and El Cajon is threatened. There are just not enough fire fighters. I feel as if I'm caught in the middle of a Steven King horror novel. We do need prayer. Love, Barbara" Barbara??”My heart and prayers go out to you. We have some other a2z family members living in California perhaps facing some of what you describe, but I believe only Sharon might be close enough to the area and I pray she is well. I know everyone who reads this will also pray that the worst is over and your lovely home city can return to normal. *** When I receive something like what follows, it makes me realize that everything I put into A to Z Recipes returns to me, ten-fold. Please take a moment to share this with me: ???I CARE I spend eight hours a day Sitting at my desk Reading all my emails Yours is the best!

Monthly Theme: "Our Daily Bread" 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.) Our Current Monthly Theme: "Our Daily Bread" Yes, the aroma of fresh bread baking in the oven cannot be duplicated. You might start looking through those recipe files for your favorite bread recipes. 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. Theme recipes must have subject: "Our Daily Bread" and will be posted on Sunday, November 2nd. Did you vote? Vote for A to Z Recipes Here: http://www.cumuli.com/ezines/ra20729.rate Thanks!

Recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog won't eat. Tongue: A variety of meat, rarely served because it clearly crosses the line between a cut of beef and a piece of dead cow. Yogurt: Semi-solid dairy product made from partially evaporated and fermented milk. Yogurt is one of only three foods that taste exactly the same as they sound. The other two are goulash and squid. Porridge: Thick oatmeal rarely found on American tables since children were granted the right to sue their parents. The name is an amalgamation of the words "Putrid," "hORRId," and "sluDGE." Preheat: To turn on the heat in an oven for a period of time before cooking a dish, so that the fingers may be burned not only when the food is removed, but when it is put in the oven. Oven: Compact home incinerator used for disposing of bulky pieces of meat and poultry. Microwave Oven: Space-age kitchen appliance that uses the principle of radar to locate and immediately destroy any food placed within the cooking compartment. Calorie: Basic measure of the amount of rationalization offered by the average individual prior to taking a second helping of a particular food. ~Author Unknown~ JustFlowers.com is one of the largest online florists and delivers the same day to the USA and Canada. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1219304-3885639 ~*~ DID YOU KNOW ? ~*~ MSG in the Kitchen: Cooking Facts and Fallacies FACT: MSG can improve the flavor of many, but not all foods. The foods MSG works best with usually contain some protein already, such as meats, poultry, and vegetable dishes. It also harmonizes well with salty and sour tastes, making it effective in various sauces and dressings. But it does little at all for sweet foods such as cakes, pastries and puddings. Likewise, MSG does not enhance recipes that are primarily made up of dairy foods. For example, a custard, milkshake or white sauce wouldn't benefit from the addition of MSG. However, a cream of vegetable soup would be great with MSG since it contains some protein ingredients (the vegetables). FALLACY: MSG makes food taste saltier. Contrary to popular belief, MSG is not a high-sodium ingredient. It does contain some sodium, but it's less than 1/3 the amount contained in an equal portion of regular table salt. Table salt contains 2,400 mg per teaspoon of sodium while MSG has only 700 mg of sodium per teaspoon. In addition, most recipes do not call for adding an entire teaspoon of MSG. Therefore, per serving, the amount of sodium added to a dish when MSG is used is quite minimal??”certainly not enough to render a dish "salty." It will, however, have a positive impact on the overall savory flavor of the dish. The increased flavor level of the dish will be noticeable when an MSG-enhanced dish is compared with one without added MSG. FACT: MSG is a NOT a meat tenderizer. Although monosodium glutamate is sometimes added to meat tenderizers, MSG itself does not act as a meat tenderizer. It functions as a flavor enhancer only, and that's why it's added to meat tenderizers??”for an extra flavor boost! FALLACY: MSG can make bad food taste better. No. It's a myth that using monosodium glutamate can "cover up" bad-tasting food or allow a cook to substitute low quality ingredients for high quality ones. MSG only enhances the flavors that are already present; it doesn't add new ones or mask "off" flavors. If the ingredients aren't great, then the dish will not be great.

Neon Sign The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, "It was a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It worked. The front of the church fills first." The young priest nodded. The old one said, "And you told me a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in that rock 'n roll gospel choir. We are packed to the balcony." "Thank you, Father," said the young priest. "I am pleased you are open to the new ideas of youth." "Well," said the elderly priest, "I'm afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru Confessional." "But Father," said the young priest. "My confessions have nearly doubled since I began that!" "I know, my son," said the old man. "But that flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell,' can't stay on the church roof!" Larry Holmes, Ontario, Canada... It seems that when the good Lord was making the world, he called Man aside and bestowed upon him 20 years of normal sex life. Man was horrified, but the creator refused to budge. Then the Lord called the monkey and gave him 20 years also. "But I don't need 20 years", said the monkey. "10 years is plenty." Man spoke up and said: "May I have the other 10 years?" The monkey agreed. The Lord called on the lion and also gave him 20 years. The lion, too, wanted only 10. Again man spoke up. "May I have the other 10 years?" "Of course", said the lion. Then came the donkey who was also given 20 years. Like the others, 10 years was enough. Man again asked for the spare 10 years and he got them. This explains why Man has 20 years of normal sex life, 10 years of monkeying around, 10 years of lion about it, and 10 years of making a jackass out of himself. Rita Chaplin, Waukegan, IL... A guy goes on vacation to the Holy Land with his wife and mother- in-law. The mother-in-law dies. They go to an undertaker who explains that they can ship the body home but that it'll cost over $5000, whereas, they can bury her in the Holy Land for only $150. The guy says, "We'll ship her home." The undertaker asks, "Are you sure? That's an awfully big expense and we can do a very nice burial here." The guy says, "Look, over 2000 years ago they buried a guy here and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can??™t take that chance."
