Crock Pot Tomato and Lima Bean Soup
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1.5 cups dried baby (small) lima beans
1 large coarsely chopped onion
14 to 16 oz can of tomatoes *OR*
2 cups of chopped fresh tomatoes *OR*
2 cups tomato sauce (canned or home made)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
few shakes Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce (optional)
chopped cilantro or parsley as garnish (optional)
Directions:
Soak 1.5 cups of dried baby lima beans overnight in lots of water.
In the morning drain and rinse the lima beans and add them to the crock pot with the tomatoes, chopped onion and enough water so that there is at least 2 inches of liquid above the beans (sorry, I've never measured the water). Turn the crock pot to low and leave it for at least 9 hours.
After 9 hours or so, check to see if the lima beans are soft. If not, turn the crock pot up to high for an hour or so. When the beans are cooked to your satisfaction, add the seasonings and serve. If there is not enough liquid, add more water and cook for another half an hour.

save-a-dime Watch John Doe at Hulu it is free
I found this show at Hulu I think it is great.
John Doe is a mysterious man who rises from the water off an isolated island possessing knowledge of literally everything in the world, yet having no memory of who -- or even what -- he is. Doe quickly finds his way to Seattle, where he befriends the police and uses his special gift to help them solve "impossible" crimes each week while continuing his unending quest to uncover who he is and where he came from. Doe is joined in his search by Karen, his unwitting assistant and one of his few friends. Together they work to piece together the case of a missing girl who Doe mysteriously feels may have some connection to his previous life.
So if you can't find something to watch the whole first season is on Hulu.

QUICK TIP FOOD STORAGE GUIDELINE
I have been looking in my freezer and cupboards today. I came across some things that had been here for awhile, so I decide to find out the shelf life of some of this stuff. I came across this list I think its worth printing out. I hope it will be useful to all of you.

Nine comprehensive charts help you decide how long is too long when it comes to food in your cabinets, refrigerator and freezer.
You don't have to be modest, you can admit it. You have a fabulously fully-stocked kitchen. Anything and everything that anyone could ever want rests quietly in the cupboard shelves, kitchen cabinets and refrigerator bins. But how long have some of those foods been on those shelves? And how long is too long?We have put together some handy charts to help you distinguish "still good" from "time to toss." So, keep lining those shelves with cans and boxes and don't stop piling in the fruits and veggies, just make sure you know when to replace them.

I read this book awhile back. It was one of those books that once you start, you have to finish.
Wonder if the movie will do the book justice?

My husband read this to me:
This was read on the Neal Boortz radio show my husband was so moved he came home and pulled it up and began to read it to me, before he finished he was fighting back the tears.
If you have a few minutes please read.
My lead flight attendant came to me and said, 'We have an H.R. on this flight.' H.R. stands for human remains. 'Are they military?' I asked. 'Yes', she said. 'Is there an escort?' I asked. 'Yes, I already assigned him a seat.' 'Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck. You can board him early', I said.A short while later, a young Army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier. The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and still with us. My soldier is on his way back to Virginia', he said. He proceeded to answer my questions, but offered no words on his own. I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no. I told him that he had the toughest job in the military and that I appreciated the work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers. The first officer and I got up out of our seats to shake his hand. He left the flight deck to find his seat.We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure. About 30 minutes into our flight I received a call from the lead flight attendant in the cabin. 'I just found out the family of the soldier we are carrying, is on board', he said. He then proceeded to tell me that the father, mother, wife and 2-year old daughter were escorting their son, husband, and father home. The family was upset because they were unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left. We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the connecting flight home to Virginia. The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bear. He had asked the flight attendant if there was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival. The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being taken off the airplane. I could hear the desperation in the flight attendant's voice when he asked me if there was anything I could do. 'I'm on it', I said. I told him that I would get back to him.Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of e-mail like messages. I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There is a radio operator in the operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher. I was in direct contact with the dispatcher. I explained the situation I had onboard with the family and what it was the family wanted. He said he understood and that he would get back to me.Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher. We were going to get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family. I sent a text message asking for an update. I saved the return message from the dispatcher and this following is the text:'Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is policy on this now and I had to check on a few things. Upon your arrival a dedicated escort team will meet the aircraft. The team will escort the family to the ramp and plane side. A van will be used to load the remains with a secondary van for the family. The family will be taken to their departure area and escorted into the terminal where the remains can be seen on the ramp. It is a private area for the family only. When the connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and planeside to watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home. Captain, most of us here in flight control are veterans. Please pass our condolences on to the family. Thanks.'I sent a message back telling flight control thanks for a good job. I printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on to the father. The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me, 'You have no idea how much this will mean to them.' Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing. After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area. The ramp is huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway. It is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit. When we entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that all traffic was being held for us.'There is a team in place to meet the aircraft', we were told. It looked like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family from getting off the airplane. As we approached our gate, I asked the copilot to tell the ramp controller we were going to stop short of the gate to make an announcement to the passengers. He did that and the ramp controller said, 'Take your time.'I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. I pushed the public address button and said, 'Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking. I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement. We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect. His name is private XXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life. Private XXXXX is under your feet in the cargo hold. Escorting him today is Army Sergeant XXXXX. Also, on board are his father, mother, wife, and daughter. Your entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you.'We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown procedures. A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door. I found the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see. I was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft. When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started to clap his hands. Moments later more passengers joined in and soon the entire aircraft was clapping. Words of 'God Bless You', I'm sorry, thank you, be proud, and other kind words were uttered to the family as they made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane. They were escorted down to the ramp to finally be with their loved one. Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I had made. They were just words, I told them, I could say them over and over again, but nothing I say will bring back that brave soldier.I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event and the sacrifices that millions of our men and women have made to ensure our freedom and safety in these United States of America.

Who writes Maxine?
John Wagner, Hallmark artist since 1970, says Maxine was inspired by his mother, his maiden aunts and his grandmother, the woman who bought him art lessons when 'fill in the pumpkins' was about the extent of his art classes at St. John's Catholic School .
I would have loved to have known these women.

My hubby got this shot while we were in Gatlinburg. The only thing between the Bear and us
was the ditch by the road. We were in the car safe and sound, unlike the women in front of us who got out and tried to go closer. The bear decided to meet her halfway, it is amazing how fast a older woman can run when she has a bear on her heels. She made it back to her car, in one piece. And she gave me and my friends a good laugh. I bet she didn't even get her picture.
So my advice is stay in your car and snap the shot.

Indian Taco
On the way home from Gatlinburg, my hubby and I made a quick stop at Cherokee.
I always make a stop there, because like everyone else in the south I am part Cherokee.
(I think the tribe was made up of lovers not warriors.)
My father's mother ,was full blooded.
I walked across the bridge, over the river to the made in China souvenir shops.
This always brings back my childhood memories. The Indian Chief is still posing for pictures with the children. The river is still making that same soothing sound as it runs over the rocks that it made when I was 7 ! I am never more at peace, than when I sit by that river.
We decided to have a little snack at one of the restaurants.
They had hot dogs and hamburgers and Indian tacos????
That was what we ordered and It was great.
So here is the recipe for all you little Indians out there hope you enjoy it.
Indian Fry Bread
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1-1/3 cups warm water
vegetable oil for frying
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the water and knead the dough until soft. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured board until 1/4" thick. Cut out 4" rounds. Heat 1"-2" of oil in a saucepan. Fry the bread until puffed. Turn bread when edges are brown and continue cooking
Now top it with your favorite homemade chili, some cheese and onions, don't forget shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
Hubby took some great photos, Hope to share some with you soon.

Why I didn't go to a Tea Party !
The Tea Party started at the Capital, in Atlanta at 9:00 pm last night.
When my husband picked me up at work yesterday I asked him, why don't we go to the Tea Party?
I thought he would love the idea. Wrong!
He said he would like to go,but we have to work tomorrow, and we need our sleep, the crowd will be so big where would we park?
This from a man who is always complaining about the high taxes, I am glad our founding fathers didn't think like that, how dull would our history books be?
This from the man who says, "Don't throw the tea, throw the politicians who voted to pass the bills that got us in this mess."
My hat is off to all of you who fought the traffic and stay up late on a work night to send a message.
You are the ones, who make us a great nation.
