Welcome to Mocha
Monday at Cappuccino’s Caf?.
Good morning
everyone. Brrr… it’s cold out here.
The Christmas
countdown has started and there are only 69 days left
before Santa comes to
town. Is everyone prepared? I know I am….well,
almost. Almost finished the jams
and then have a lot of cookie baking to
look forward to.
I am in the
process of packing for a move…..not sure when, but it will
be soon ‘cause my
mom will be coming home from the hospital. That
means that I may not have an
internet connection for a little while and
my newsletter may be a little late. I’ll
send an announcement when the
time comes but for now, enjoy.
May your hearts
be happy, your mailboxes full and the mailman forever
busy. Until next time, Happy Hunting!!!!
Cappuccino

Medical Alert
MedWatch - The
FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting
Program LifeScan and FDA
notified healthcare professionals and the
public of counterfeit blood glucose
test strips being sold in the United
States
for use with various models of the One Touch Brand Blood
Glucose Monitors used
by people with diabetes to measure their blood
glucose. The counterfeit test
strips potentially could give incorrect blood
glucose values--either too high
or too low--which might result in a patient
taking either too much or too
little insulin and lead to serious injury or
death.

Food for Thought
Your purse is very interesting!!
Have you ever noticed gals who sit
their purses on public restroom
floors then go directly to their dining tables?
Happens a lot! It's not
always the 'restaurant food' that causes stomach
distress. Sometimes
"what you don't know 'will' hurt you"! Read
on...Mom got so upset
when a guest came in the door and plopped their purses
down on the
counter where she was cooking or setting up the buffet. She
always
said that purses are really dirty, because of where they have been.
Smart Momma!!!
It's something just about every
woman carries with them. While we
may know what's inside our purses, do you
have any idea what's on
the outside?
Shauna
Lake put purses to the test - for
bacteria - with surprising
results. You may think twice about where you put
your purse. Women
carry purses everywhere; from the office to public restrooms
to the
floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their purses,
but
did you ever stop to think about where your purse goes during
the day? "I
drive a school bus, so my purse has been on the floor
of the bus a lot,"
says one woman. On the floor of my car,
probably
in restrooms." "I put my purse in grocery shopping carts, on
the floor
of bathroom stalls while changing a diaper, " says another woman
and of course in my home which should be clean."
We decided to find out if purses
harbor a lot of bacteria. We learned
how to test them at Nelson Laboratories in
Salt Lake,
then we set
out to test the average woman's purse.
Most women told us they didn't
stop to think about what was on the
bottom of their purse. Most said they
usually set their purses on top
of kitchen tables and counters where food is
prepared. Most of the
ladies we talked to told us they wouldn't be surprised if
their purses
were at least a little bit dirty.
It turns out purses are so
surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist
who tested them was shocked.
Microbiologist Amy Karren of
Nelson Labs says nearly all of the purses tested
were not only high
in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria.
Pseudomonas can cause eye
infections, staphylococcus aurous can
cause serious skin infections, and
salmonella and e-coli found on the
purses could make people very sick. In one sampling,
four of five
purses tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of
it.
"There is fecal contamination on the purses," says Amy.
Leather or vinyl purses tended to
be cleaner than cloth purses, and
lifestyle seemed to play a role. People with
kids tended to have dirtier
purses than those without, with one exception. The
purse of one single
woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst
contaminations
of all. "Some type of feces, or even possibly vomit or
something like
that," says Amy.
So the moral of this story - your
purse won't kill you, but it does have
the potential to make you very sick if
you keep it on places where you
eat. Use hooks to hang your purse at home and
in restrooms, and don't
put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your
kitchen countertop.
Experts say you should think of
your purse the same way you would a
pair of shoes. "If you think about
putting a pair of shoes onto your
countertops, that's the same thing you're
doing when you put your purse
on the countertops" - your purse has gone
where every individual before
you has spat, coughed, urinated, emptied bowels,
etc! Do you really
want to bring that home with you?
The microbiologists at Nelson also
said cleaning a purse will help. Wash
cloth purses and use leather cleaner to
clean the bottom of leather purses.
THIS IS WORTH SHARING!!!

White Chocolate Cheesecake (Yummy)
This is a great cheesecake recipe.
The white chocolate makes this
cake particularly rich. Use a good quality white
chocolate with high
cocoa butter content.
Serve this cheesecake plain or
with a topping. You can use pie filling
for a topping or mix one cup fresh
strawberries, raspberries, or
blackberries with 3/4 cup sugar. Mix the berries
and sugar together
to let the sugar dissolve in the juice.
You will need a nine-inch
springform pan.
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the filling:
4 8-ounce packages of cream cheese
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups white chocolate wafers or
8 ounces of white chocolate baking
bars
Directions
Preheat the oven 350 degrees.
1. In a 9-inch springform pan, mix
the graham cracker crumbs, melted
butter, and sugar together. Press the mixture
across the bottom of the
pan and up the sides to form the crust. Put the crust
in refrigerator while
you mix the filling.
2. With the paddle attachment of
your stand-type mixer, beat the cream
cheese and sugar together. Add the eggs
and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Drizzle in the melted chocolate while the
beaters are running. Pour into
the crust.
3. Bake for 50 minutes or until
the cake is done. Let cool on a wire rack.
After ten minutes, loosen the sides
with a spatula and remove the ring.
Refrigerate the cheesecake to cool
completely.
Baker’s note: Drizzle in the
chocolate while it is still warm. If the chocolate
cools too rapidly, you will
have clumps in the cheesecake.

The Turkey
and the Blonde (author unknown)
One year at thanksgiving, my mom
went to my sister’s house for the
traditional feat. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom
decided to
play a trick on her. She told my sister that she needed something from
the store.
When my sister left, my mom took
the turkey out of the oven, removed
the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and
inserted it into the turkey, and
re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the
birds(s) back in the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my
sister pulled the turkey out of the oven
and proceeded to remove the
stuffing. When her serving spoon hit
something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.
With a look of total shock on her
face, my mother exclaimed, “Patricia,
you’ve cooked a pregnant bird!” At the
reality of this horrifying news,
my sister started to cry.
It took the family two hours to
convince her that turkeys lay eggs.
Yep……………..SHE’S BLONDE!

A little old lady from Newfoundland
had worked in and around her
family dairy farms since she was
old enough to walk, with hours of hard
work and little compensation.
When canned Carnation Milk became
available in grocery stores in
approximately the 1940's, she read
an advertisement offering $5,000
for the best slogan. The producers
wanted a rhyme beginning with
"Carnation Milk is best of all...."
She thought to herself, I know all
about milk and dairy farms... I can
do this!
She sent in her entry, and about a
week later, a black limo drove up
in front of her house.. a man
got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your
entry so much, we are here to award you $1000, even
though we will
not be able
to use it..."
Here is her entry:
“Carnation Milk is best of all,
No tits to pull, no hay to haul,
No buckets to wash, no shit to
pitch,
Just poke a hole
in the son-of-a-b***h.
