Somehow and without help, the problem of too wide blog....cleared up It healed. But if you open this blog up on internet explorer..is is very thing and long....like an ear of corn....and since no one here did anything to adjsut it , its a miracle..>>>>Soon busloads of pilgrims will be arriving at Grannys Attics Door, to bow down and pray to our computer. I will bless them by touching their forehead with the mouse....and for a small donation, I will type their name onto the screen. For a larger donation, they can choose their font and   large type size, and for still a larger donation, they can have this name printed in color...and printed out on soome HOLY paper.

I will then let them exit thru the kitchen door and go down to the brook, and for a sizable amount we will Baptize them in the HOHOKUS BROOK, and sell them a small bottle of the water to take home. I heard that it can cure most diseases, especially over drawn checking accounts and credit cards that havent been paid in a bit....Yes, its truly miracle water.  I will lay my hands upon them and they shall be healed.

Last night I gave you all a recipe for marinated should steak, using peanut butter...well I couldnt wait for the 48hour marination...I cheated using my own recipe and roasted it 8 minutes on each side.....and let it cool. I made a peanut sauce using a  peanut butter thinned out with peanut oil, water, soy sauce, hot tobasco and fresh garlic... After slicing the steak, I covered the slices wiht the sauce, microwaved it for 25 seconds...and wow, th emeat was tender in one day instead of two.....and the sauce was great...HMMM

Here is another recipe created by seeing what was laying around the kitched.  There was an opened bag of frozen spinach and a full bag of cauliflour...some onions...celery... a bit of rice left in a box and a small amount of dried cous cous...in a jar..... Well, I put the veggies in a dutch oven Added a can of chicken broth (hidng under the table) all the rice and cous cous left about a full cup or a bit more combines....sliced up two onions....Took two heaping tablespoons of CURRY-sauted in peanut oil for 30 seconds...added that to the veggies, added a large can of tomatoe puree, and half pound of BUTTER. added water to cover , a hint of salt and let it bake at 350 for an hour... What we have is a Butter-Curry-Tomatoe Sauce ,as the Cihinese use with chicken....it cam eout great....and its unusual...and exptreemly tasty...Want it VINDALOO add more curry.
