Following the NFL Playoffs. Please don’t make this political.

Views: 99

I’ve got one person looking to take over this channel. I’ll post a few articles a week here till someone else takes over. Now please this is not a political channel. If you don’t follow sports, don’t give a political answer why. I’ll delete it.

 

Are you Following the NFL Playoffs? I’m sorta looking at them from a distance. As everyone knows my boys from NY ( The football Giants ) again are on the sidelines. So I’m looking at Buffalo, Pittsburgh ( maybe ), and Tampa. Here’s why. Tell me what you think.

Pittsburgh cause my USC boy Ju Ju may play today. He’s been hurt most of the year. And Ben’s married to a local girl ( from New Castle, PA ). Crazy reasons I know. Go Pittsburgh.

Buffalo cause when there was the old AFL, Buffalo was my team. Plus my parents came there as immigrants and my one brother was born there. Go Bills.

Tampa cause I like the old guy and I’ve only rooted for one AFC team from all the Super Bowls.

What are your picks?

We still haven’t found anyone to take over this channel. So I thought I would put this out there again. It’s a non political channel where all are welcome. All the articles are either about food, music, or feel good issues. I’ve paid for this channel through May of next year. If the person who takes over makes it successful I would be willing to pay for it another year. Let me know if interested.

Closing out the year in pictures, song, and dance.

Views: 116

Another year has come and gone. So I would like to think that someone like me who is very political was able to show the softer side of 2021. We were able to keep politics off this website. So I would like to share some of the photos here. Some old, some new.

As we look forward to 2022 please share any pictures, or music. Or if you have a gif you think worth’s sharing, please do. May your new year be filled with joy.

This Christmas we had two tablecloths.

 

 

And can you ever forget our table cloth closet?

 

And years ago a bunch of recording artists got together for this tune.

And someone who left us knew how to change things around when it came to song and dance.

How about my favorite. FOOD.

 

How about a few giffs?

Who  can forget our famous Apple Works?

Or Lemon Works.

 

 

 

 

In the spring we had our world famous Ghetto garden.

We also had Easter decorations.

And we had Valentine’s.

And we celebrated the Irish.

In the summer we were Patriotic.

In the fall we had our Pumpkins.

 

In the winter, Icicles

 

And of course after 34 years, we went back to Hale Farm.

And we went thrifting.

 

 

 

 

And in the comments we will show the new.

Early American Christmas at the M C House.

Views: 136

As you must know by now, my wife loves to decorate. She adds something new to the old. I help her as we go around Ohio and Western Pennsylvania looking for items for our different themes.

In a time When Christmas was not widely celebrated in the US, a “Christmas Family” arrives as immigrants. As the holiday approaches, they joyously prepare—dipping bayberry candles, making decorations for the tree, and baking Christmas cookies. When all is complete, the final tradition is observed—lighted candles are placed in each window to welcome the coming of the Christ Child, and the family gathers to sing carols and hear the Bible story of the birth of Jesus. DePaola shows us each traditional preparation in gleeful detail, from gold-painted walnuts and papercut decorations for the tree to Christmas cookies in the shapes of tulips, lovebirds, and “hearts in hand.” His brightly colored, folk-art style nicely complements his story of one family’s way of celebrating Christmas. Avoiding holiday sentimentality without sacrificing joy in the season, this is a nice addition to holiday book collections.

 

 

 

 

This may be our last decorating article. It has been a labor of love. I hope you enjoyed the different decorations.

Greek Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers (Yemista)

Views: 88

I saw this on Allrecipes and thought that this would be a good fit for here. If you try it, please let us know.

 

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Cut off tops of tomatoes, leaving 1 corner still attached to create a lid. Scoop insides of tomatoes and transfer ‘meat’ to a large bowl; squeeze juices out of tomatoes. Cut off tops of green peppers and reserve for later use; scoop out seeds and membranes. Arrange tomatoes and bell peppers in a 11×17-inch baking dish.

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the melted butter until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add ground chuck, soy sauce, seasoned salt, and black pepper to onion mixture; cook until ground chuck is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes.

  • Mix squeezed tomato meat and water into browned chuck; bring to a simmer, about 15 minutes. Add rice and bring to a boil; remove skillet from heat. Spoon beef-rice mixture into tomatoes; place tops onto filled tomatoes and arrange them into the baking dish with lid sides down.

  • Stuff bell peppers with beef-rice mixture and top with reserved lids; lay bell peppers sideways in the baking dish. Pour olive oil over stuffed tomatoes and bell peppers; season with salt and pepper.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn bell peppers and continue baking until bell peppers and tomatoes are softened, about 30 more minutes.

Let’s hear it for space songs.

Views: 57

Space songs are always inspiring to listen to. After all, who honestly thought mankind would ever take to the sky and travel the universe? This is a ranked list of all songs about outer space, as voted on by music fans like you. Some of the songs included below may have the words “space” or “planet” in the lyrics or title, while others are only about space as a subject or theme. It’s not confirmed whether or not astronauts enjoy the music on this list, but there’s a strong possibility these songs would resonate with them. Recent movies like Gravity and Interstellar have had beautiful musical scores, but if you want to listen to less orchestral songs then this list is for you.

Music isn’t typically categorized by the meaning of the words, so this music list is a great way to find some solid tracks that are thematically similar. Vote for the space songs that you enjoy the most, and downvote ones if you think they’re not worthy of being high on the list. If one of your top songs is missing, add it to the list so others can vote for it too. Many genres of music are featured below, including rock, pop, folk, metal, and more.

One of my favorites.

Is retirement what you thought it would be? If not retired, what are your plans when you do retire?

Views: 74

I retired from my regular employment a year and a half ago. Sure I get paid for being a writer, but this isn’t a job for me. Going into retirement I really had no expectations. Now that there’s one thing that has changed and my wife noticed it also. The days go by quickly.

It’s unbelievable that the days and months really pass you by. It seems as if there’s never enough time in the day. I thought that more things would get done as far as house work. Now we have done a lot of day trips. Now how about other retiree’s out there? Share with us.

Now the folks looking at retirement. What are your plans? Any idea of what you will be doing for the rest of your life?

Let’s hear it for the Animals

Views: 117

People love their pets. So it makes sense musicians with pets would put their love of their animals into their songs about pets or inspired by pets. Whether it’s a ballad to fuzzy felines or golden harmonies for goldfish, it seems there’s been a song written about every creature humans have domesticated. So the next time you and Mr. Cuddles want to spend some quality music listening time together, throw on one of these pet-inclined tracks. Both your pets and your ears will purr.

Some refer to animals right in their titles, but not all of these pet songs are obvious. “Martha My Dear,” by the Beatles, for example, seems to be about a woman but was actually written for Paul McCartney’s pet dog. Norah Jones, meanwhile, wrote “Man of the Hour” for her poodle. The song comes from her album The Fall, on the cover of which she is depicted with a Saint Bernard (not her actual dog).

I usually don’t start wearing jeans until November. I’m a casual shorts type of guy. But from November to March, it’s jeans. I don’t like the faded look. Also cause I have no behind I wear skinny jeans.

Now I prefer straight leg cut. Years ago boot cut was my fave. But enough about me, how about you?

Let’s hear it for the horses.

Views: 122

For the horse obsessed, you can never get enough equine influence. So, while you’re riding in your car, wishing you were riding a horse instead, you can turn on any of the following  tunes to get your equestrian fix for the moment. Granted, not all of these songs are actually about horses, but they all have something to do with horses and the cowboy life, making them the perfect tracks to listen to when you can’t be mounted on horseback. While they can’t replace the time you spend with a horse, these songs might just get you through until your next ride.

Who says you can’t go back? We did 34 years later. Hale Farm.

Views: 106

 

In a continuation of our 33rd Wedding Anniversary we went back to a place we visited 34 years ago. Yes a year before we married. So I hope you enjoy the pictures and if ever in Ohio, please visit.  Hale Farm.

At the Cuyahoga Valley’s southwestern edge sits an impressive three-story red brick house surrounded by 140 acres of fields, gardens, and woods. Familiar to many school children, it is now a popular regional attraction that overlooks a recreated historical village.

Despite the building’s grandeur, Hale Farm began like any other farm: with hard work. In 1810, farmer Jonathan Hale arrived in Bath to begin a new life on he Western Reserve.

For over one hundred years, generations of the Hale family worked and managed their land. In the early 1900s, the farm passed to Jonathan’s grandson, C.O. Hale, a kind and ambitious man who hired local families as farm laborers. Part of a newer trend in “gentleman farming,” C.O. Hale oversaw the work on his property and earned additional income by entertaining friends and tourists.

Jonathan Hale and his family settled in the Cuyahoga Valley in 1810 and began a tradition of farming, family and entrepreneurship. In 1956 Clara Belle Richie, the great granddaughter of Jonathan, bequeathed the family farm to the Western Reserve Historical Society, “to be established as a museum so that the greatest number of persons might learn about the history and culture of the Western Reserve.”

The museum first opened its doors in 1958, and over the course of the next 60+ years the Hale’s family farm was transformed into a experiential learning laboratory. It is this space that has been the platform for delivering programming which provides a lifetime of social value.

Do you go thrifting?

Views: 100

So My wife and I went thrifting yesterday. Not the first time, won’t be the last. Some may ask, what’s thrifting? Simply put, thrifting means to go shopping at a thrift store, garage sale, or flea market where you’ll find gently used items at discounted prices. Thrifted items have been loved by a previous owner, but are usually in good shape with enough life left to be useful to a new owner.

Thrift shopping is not only a fun way to find unique finds, but it’s also a way to give back to the community. By shopping at or donating to Thrift stores you’re helping them provide no-cost career services to the community. Essentially, a clothing or household donation to Thrifts helps fight unemployment in our community. It’s nice to know that when you’re shopping, you’re also providing jobs.

We mostly go for items that are used in seasonal decorations. Some make it on our front or back porch. What can be found at a thrift store?

  • Appliances
  • Bedding
  • Books & Media
  • Clothing & Accessories
  • Cooking Accessories
  • Drapery
  • Electronics
  • Furniture
  • Games
  • Household Goods
  • Kitchenware
  • Knick-knacks
  • Linens
  • Mobility Items
  • Musical Instruments
  • Outdoor Items
  • Shoes
  • Sports Equipment
  • Tools
  • Toys
  • We also donate to some of the different thrift stores.
