This morning I accidentally swallowed some pieces from the Scrabble board game. Going to the toilet later will surely spell trouble...

The Three Little Pigs
Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night. The waiter came and took their drink order.
'I would like a Sprite,' said the first little piggy.
'I would like a Coke,' said the second little piggy.
'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy.
The drinks were brought out and the waiter took their orders for dinner.
'I want a nice big steak,' said the first piggy.
'I would like the salad plate,' said the second piggy.
'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' said the third little piggy.
The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.
'I want a banana split,' said the first piggy.
'I want a cheesecake,' said the second piggy.
'I want beer, lots and lots of beer,' exclaimed the third little piggy.
'Pardon me for asking,' said the waiter to the third little piggy,'But, why have you only ordered beer all evening?'
You're gonna LOVE me for this...
The third piggy says -
'Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!

recipe- Swedish Oatmeal Bread

Here's the story--- Grandparents came to the US in 1900, and this is one of the few recipes I got. It was the primo reason to visit grandma's place as a . It can get rather sticky while kneading, so take your time and be planning a second batch!
enjoy!
***********************
SWEDISH OATMEAL BREAD
Cook 1/2 cup regular oatmeal in 1 cup of water.
While the oatmeal is cooking, prepare the following items in a large bowl:
1/4 cup shortening or oil (oil is better)
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup molasses. “GRANDMA'S BRAND” is preferred (it is mild).
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon anise seed (grind it up)
Unbleached flour… about 5 cups
Shortening to grease the bowl and baking pans
When the oatmeal is cooked, add it to the above mix and stir.
Add 2 cakes yeast to 2 cups of warm water.
When the mix has cooled down to warm, not hot, add the yeast/water.
Add flour one cup at a time. Stir with a spoon until it gets too thick and then switch to kneading by hand. Don't switch too early as it is very sticky! Add flour and knead until the mix does not stick to the hands, no lumps or white flour areas, but is still a bit tacky.
Let the batch rise in the greased bowl until double volume, about 45 minutes. If the kitchen is cold, you can put it in the oven, warmed to about 70 degrees F.
Place the batch on a lightly greased surface (to keep it from sticking) and beat down with hands or with a roller until flat (like a pizza). Divide the batch into 3 equal parts and form each into a 'sausage' shape with blunt ends.
Grease coat three regular bread pans (or 6 cake pans). Place the batches in the pans and let rise to double volume.
Place the pans in the pre-heated oven and bake at 350 F for about 1 hour, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove and set out to cool. When cool, remove loaves from the pans.
If the crust is hard and thick, you baked too long. If the top is dark brown, too much heat.
This bread is great with coffee in the morning and as toast. There is enough sweetness and flavor that butter for topping is sufficient.

Remember, no matter how hard you push the envelope, it is still stationary...

confusion at Wally World

There was a bit of confusion at Wally World yesterday.
When I was ready to pay for my purchases with my credit card, the cashier said, "Strip down, face away."
Making a mental note to complain to the store security manager, I did just as she had instructed.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.
I have been asked not to ever shop there again.
They need to make their instructions to seniors a little clearer!
