The Beatles meet Ed Sullivan

Today in 1964 The Beatles appeared live on the Ed Sullivan Show. At times the music could barely be heard over the excited squeals of the fans in attendance. I am a fan of The Beatles and wish that I would have been old enough to witness this special occasion in music history. I can only imagine what an experience this must have been for those fortunate enough to be in attendance.

What's for Dinner?

Today we had a bit of a challenge when it came to making dinner. We decided that we wanted to have Hot Tamale Pie from Foodwishes another great blog here on blogspot and you can find it at http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/10/sacred-tamale-another-victim-of.html. But we have one small problem, we don't have 2 boxes of Jiffy corn bread mix. Plus we don't have a real grocery store in our small town of 2100 people, just a convenience store that carries select items at a higher than normal price. This is my mistake, I should have put Jiffy corn bread mix on the shopping list. So to compensate for this I made a batch of Sweet Corn Cakes from Allrecipes.com and here is the link for it http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-corn-cakes/detail.aspx. So hubby cooked the Sacred Tamale part of the recipe while I made the Sweet Corn Cakes and then we combined them to have a wonderful  Hot Tamale Pie.

Valentine's Day Freebies

I was web searching today and typed in valentines day freebies. Little did I expect to see a website with that name! I did not explore any of the offers on the site but if you feel brave and want to give it a fling, go to www.valentinesdayfreebies.com. I was a little shocked to see that one of the offers was for a free condom. Yes I know this is 2012 and people do have sex without being married but it didn't need to be so blatantly exposed to the whole internet world.
