Welcome to Cappuccino’s Freebie Caf?.
Good morning everyone.
As you all know, my mother was
recently hospitalized due to a massive stroke. While in there,
each time there was a nursing shift change, the new nurse would
as me what language my mother spoke as they could not
understand her. Obviously, they never looked at her file.
Now, my mother speaks English, Italian and Yugoslavian fluently,
and understands Spanish. I should also point out that her
mind is crystal clear.
Tired of repeating myself day
after day, when asked, I simply replied that my mother spoke stroke
and suggested to the attending nurse that a translator
was required (hee hee). The silly nurse would reply…”OK, but,
which language?” To which I would reply, “Which part of
stroke did you not understand?”
As I understand it, nurses are
supposed to check the charts at the beginning of a shift. Isn’t that
what the one-hour daily meeting is all about prior to starting a
shift? NOT!!!! More like a coffee break and chit-chat time, with
patients wandering around aimlessly. Each day, I would be
asked why my mother was hospitalized and what medications
was she taking?
To this I would reply, “I don’t
know. You tell me!” and, “I’m not her doctor but when you find
out, let me know.”
What is wrong with our health care
system? One nurse told me that she did not have time to look
at the chart so she expected me to enlighten her. Supposing I told
her the wrong medication and dosage? NOW THIS IS SCARY!!!!
May your hearts be happy, your
mailboxes full and the mailman forever busy. Until next week,
Happy Hunting!!!!

Directions
Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the
ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
Pour in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes
and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell
peppers, chili peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with
chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot
pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar.

Luscious Lemon Bars
Ingredients
3/4 cup powdered sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup butter 2 cups granulated sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 large eggs Zest from one large lemon, about one tablespoon Juice from one large lemon, 1/3 cup juice Powdered sugar
Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
1. Mix the two cups flour and 3/4 cups powdered sugar
together in a medium bowl. With a pastry knife, cut in the butter until granular. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of an
ungreased 8 x 13-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until
golden brown. Set aside to cool.
2. In your medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup
flour, and baking powder. Add the eggs, zest, and lemon juice. Mix
with a spatula until smooth.
3. Pour the lemon filling over the crust. Bake for 35
minutes or until the top starts to brown. Remove from the oven and let
cool. Use a mini strainer or sifter to dust the top with powdered
sugar. Cut into squares.
Baker’s tip: Once chilled, buttery crusts can stick to the
pan making it hard to remove the bars intact. Heat up a wet
cloth in the microwave and place the pan on the hot cloth. The heat will
soften the butter on the bottom and make removal much easier.

What's In A Name?
A good looking man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and said, "I want to be a movie star. "Tall,
handsome and with experience on Broadway, he had the right
credentials. The agent asked, "What's your name?"
The guy said, "My name is Penis van Lesbian."
The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order
to get into Hollywood, you
are going to have to change your name."
"I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old, I will not disrespect my grandfather by changing my
name. Not ever."
The agent said, "Sir, I have worked in Hollywood
for years... you will NEVER go far in Hollywood
with a name like Penis van Lesbian! I'm telling you, You will HAVE TO change your name
or I will not be able to represent you."
"So be it! I guess we will not do business together"
the guy said
and he left the
agent's office.
FIVE YEARS LATER..... The agent opens an envelope sent to
his office. Inside the envelope is a letter and a check for $50,000.
The agent is awestruck, who would possibly send him $50,000? He reads the letter enclosed...
Dear Sir,
Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an
actor in Hollywood,
you told me I needed to change my name. Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I
refused. You told me I would never make it in Hollywood
with a name like Penis van Lesbian. After I left your office, I thought about
what you said. I decided you were right. I had to change my name.
I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed with
another agent. I would never have made it without changing my name,
so the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation.
Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely,
Dick Van Dyke
