Get Over The Hump Day, Wednesday, 10-28-09


Wednesdays can be great days or a Wednesday can get you down.



**Bosses like to have meetings late Wednesday afternoons to announce changes. They introduce new procedures with a start date on the following Monday. This way the employee has two days to bitch at work and two days to "stew" at home.


**Once Wednesday gets here, and after the day is complete, there will be only two more days until the start of the weekend.


**Ash Wednesday is on a Wednesday.


**Stores send out new advertising supplements on Wednesday.


**The State Journal-Register always has good recipes on Wednesday.


**Gil's restaurant in Minier has a 1/2 Chicken Special for $6.10 (I don't like the potato salad nor the iced tea there).


**It must be a good day, as you are reading my newsblog....:>)


So.....have a good Wednesday. Wednesdays will come again. It's a sure thing....just like taxes and death....it will come!

Recipe From Old Menard County Resident


This recipe is from our family and is one I use all the time. It's pleasing to the taste!! And, makes huge amounts, so this is a good recipe to take to a function where lots of people will be there.


French Cookies


1 cup white sugar


1 cup brown sugar


1 cup shortening (I use Light Parkey margarine)


1 cup very hot water


1 tsp baking soda....add to hot water


2 eggs


3 cups flour


1 tsp baking powder


1- 1/4 tsp cinnamon


1 cup Raisins (boil raisins in a couple cups of water then drain and use some of the water for the 1 cup of hot water)


1/2 cup chopped nuts


Cream the both sugars with the shortening. Stir in the cinnamon and eggs then alternately add the flour, baking powder, and hot water. Add raisins and nuts last. Grease a jelly roll pan or fairly large cookie sheet with at least a 1 inch side. Bake 350 and check with a toothpick after about 10 minutes..it doesn't take long to bake. Make a glaze with powdered sugar and milk and put on the cake while the cake is warm.

Smile and the whole world smiles with you!

Later, my friends......
