SWEET POTATO BACON FRITTERS FREE SUBSCRIBER ADS ~*~ MAGGIE'S WORLD ~*~ Happy Halloween to all you little ???punkins??? out there. We had a long 12-hour shift last night as the ghouls and goblins were out late doing their mischievous acts. I have to go back in for 4 more hours this afternoon so I should get a sample of their devilment today again. I have a bugger of a day tomorrow as I will work 4 hours in the morning and return for 12 hours at night. Oh, the things we do to keep bread on the table, huh? We did our Halloween issue last week so today we have smooth sailing without things that go bump in the night. We have a super menu (comprised of recipes from you guys and one of my own) as well as some of the best darned recipes on the ???net in our ???Favorites??? section. Yes, we have something to tickle your funny bone in the ???Crazy Corner???, a very meaningful ???Ramblings??? and some other stuff for your reading pleasure. Just to mention...NONE of this would be possible without your generous offerings of time and effort every day, folks. You guys are getting into the swing of things and I am anxious to look in my mailboxes daily to see what you have to offer. I hope when you see ???A to Z Recipes??? in yours that you feel the same. Today is the final day for our theme ???Our Daily Bread???. You need to get those fingers busy and send in any recipes you would like to have included in the issues. Even if it is only one, it might be JUST what someone has been looking for. We will formally announce he next theme on Sunday. Some of you may already know what it is by the hints I??ve thrown in the past week or so. It will be superb! Have a frightfully great and SAFE Halloween. See you tomorrow! If you would like to read this issue on the website (or see recently posted issues), you may follow this link: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Archives.html Wherever possible, I will have photos of recipes, shopping items, and other goodies for you. Take a look! 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 T-O-D-A-Y. Theme recipes must have subject: "Our Daily Bread" and will be posted on Sunday, November 2nd. Interested in seeing previous issues (archives)?

This was written by an 83 year old...The last line says it all. Dear Bertha, I'm reading more and dusting less. I'm sitting in the yard and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds in the garden. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time working. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experiences to savor, not to endure. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them. I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, or the first Amaryllis blossom. I wear my good blazer to the market. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out $28.49 for one small bag of groceries. I'm not saving my good perfume for special parties, but wearing it for clerks in the hardware store and tellers at the bank. Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary; if it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I'm not sure what others would've done had they known they wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all take for granted. I think they would have called family members and a few close friends. They might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think they would have gone out for a Chinese dinner or for whatever their favorite food was. I'm guessing; I'll never know. It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew my hours were limited. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and parents often enough how much I truly love them. I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes,! tell myself that it is special. Every day, every minute, every breath truly is a gift from God. If you received this, it is because someone cares for you. "People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there." I don't believe in Miracles. I rely on them. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

The barman says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything." A sandwich walks into a bar. The barman says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here." A dyslexic man walks into a bra. A string walks into a bar. The bartender says "We don't serve strings here. "He crumples him up and tosses him out onto the sidewalk where he gets all scraped up and tangled. The string walks right back in and orders a drink. Amazed, the bartender asks, "Hey, aren't you that same string I just threw out?" The string answers, "No, I'm a frayed knot!" A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road." Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?" "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The green, green grass of home.'" "That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome." "Is it common?" "It's not unusual." Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive..." A man takes his Rottweiller to the vet and says, "My dog's cross-eyed; is there anything you can do for him? " "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he says "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy." I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. I went to the butcher's the other day and I bet him 50 bucks that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high." Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly; but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't, I've cut off your arms". I went to a seafood disco rave last week.... and pulled a mussel. A man walks into doctor's office. "What seems to be the problem?" asks the doc. "It's... um...well... I have five penises" replies the man. "Blimey!" says the doctor, "How do your trousers fit?"
