It’s time to get into it! We’re going to take a look back……….that’s right the 80’s. We’ll start with the music and then work out way to TV and then the hunks! Let’s get started with the top 10 songs and when they come on you just can’t stand still. I gotta tell ya - Mr. Jackson (pre freak) is ranking in there quite a few times. He was an icon in the 80’s for me. If you’re feeling it, give me a “Hell yeah”.

Oh yeah, check it out people and tell me what you think!

Looks like an innocent pop tart doesn’t it? Uh huh I thought so too, but let me tell ya, they are little fruity, juice squirting, flesh scalding prison torturing mechanisms and now I know.

I don’t eat them OK, I bought them for Noah and put the little fruit scalder in the microwave thinking maybe 15 seconds. Well let me tell you it only apparently takes about 6 seconds.

I reached to take it out and the cherry juice squirted out on the side of the tart and scalded my flesh leaving me with a wound that has taught me that french toast is the way to go from now on.

Just wanted to give other mothers a head’s up. Pop Tarts can be dangerous when misused!

This was a really good movie. You can’t go wrong with Anthony Hopkins and my guy, Ryan Gosling from one of my favorite movies, The Notebook, was awesome. He’s cute, and he’s and up and coming actor that I think is going to do great things. It’s a murder mystery and although it’s a little predictable at the end, it’s enough to hold you attention. On the 5 Star level I’d give it 4 Stars!

During March 21 and september 22, i.e, vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, we can perfectly balance an egg. Can anyone tell me why?

You can perfectly balance an egg any day of the year. Here is the history behind the significance of the ritual on the equinoxes:

The Chinese are thought to have originated the practice of standing eggs on end during the equinox. Just as the equinox symbolically restores balance to the world by signalling its rebirth after a season of darkness, the equinox literally balances the day by dividing it into equal portions of darkness and light. If the symbol of fertility — eggs — could be balanced on end during a day equally divided between day and night, this was a sign that all nature was in harmony. That the balancing of eggs could be achieved on any day of the year was of no importance; what everyone wanted and needed was a familiar, reassuring ritual to demonstrate that all was right with the world.

It’s Saturday and I found an easy recipe on the back of the Stove Top Box and it was actually good. It took all of 15 minutes to prepare and 35 minutes to cook. Thought I’d share:

1 Box Stove Top Stuffing Mix (chicken flavor)
3 chicken breast cut up in small pieces
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup hot water
1 package frozen peas and carrots

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Spread half of the stuffing mix in a 9X13 pan
Take the other half and pour in a bowl with the 1 cup hot water
Take your cut up chicken and lay it on the dry stuffing in you baking dish
Once the other mixture is soft add your 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and frozen veggies
Spread the mixture of the chicken and bake for about 35 minutes.

I served it with biscuits and it was very good.
