AN APPLE A DAY COLESLAW DRESSING: 1 cup low-fat buttermilk 1/2 cup reduced fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar 1 tablespoon dijon style mustard 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt SLAW: 2 green apples, peeled cored and cut up 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 cup shredded carrots 1/2 cup finely diced green onions (use green & white parts) 2 cups each - chopped green cabbage and red cabbage 1. whisk all dressing ingredients together in large serving bowl. 2. Toss apple slices with 1 tbls. vinegar to keep them from turning brown, then drain excess vinegar. 3. Add apples to dressing and toss. Layer additional ingredients but do not mix. Cover and chill till serving time then toss well just before serving. (Actually, I just mix mine all up right away and refridgerate the mixture, I'm not sure why it says not to mix till serving time.) I use a food processor and shred the carrots and green onions first, then change to the slicing blade and cut the apples and both cabbages and just dump everything into a large bowl whenever the food processor bowl starts to fill up.

We love pineapple around here so I make this every once in a while. 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple slices, drained 10 maraschino cherries 1 package (18.25 ounces) yellow cake mix 1 cup water 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1. Preheat the oven to 350F. 2. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans and pour the butter evenly over the sugar. 3. In each pan, arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer over the sugar and place a cherry in the center of each slice. 4. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs; beat until well combined. 5. Evenly divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 30 to 33 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of each comes out clean. Let the cakes stand for 5 minutes. 6. Loosen gently with a knife and invert onto 2 platters. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving.

Thats one of the reasons I buy them Momo and our seconds are Oscar Meyer All Beefs which are great cooked on the grill.

Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. It repels mosquitoes.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of oil (mineral, baby, safflower, vegetable or olive) with 3 tablespoons of sugar the coarser the better but really any sugar type works. Make into a paste and rub gently into hands. Rinse well with warm water, pat dry.

This stuff works great on canker sores and fever blisters! You can find it in the vitamin section of Walmart for pennies for a nice size container.

To make DARK brown sugar you use 1 cup granulated sugar and add 2 Tbs molasses

You cut potatos into wedges. Drizzle them with olive oil and hot sauce, salt, pepper and rosemary. Then wrap them in aluminum foil and grill them for 30 minutes. You can fit about 3 boiling potatoes worth in one packet. These taste great grilled. We also grill zucchini or those round yellow squash sliced and brushed with olive oil, salt and pepper. Asparagus, eggplant and peppers are great straight from the grill too!

With summer grilling season here we have started to try different brands of hot dogs to cook on the grill. Some are good , others are terrible. I love the hotdogs in natural casings and bought a few of those from the deli but they were too greasy for my tummy so our quest for the best hotdog is on. So far Hebrew National all Beef Franks with low fat have been the best that we have tried. A little pricey but good tasting. What I am looking for is something with good taste thats not pricey!

My Fresh Fried Corn recipe 6 ears of yellow and/or white corn, shucked and silks removed ¾ stick real butter (salted or unsalted) ½ - 1-cup heavy cream, half & half, or milk Salt and pepper to taste The key to good fried corn is how you cut it from the cob. First, you take the ear of corn and in a deep bowl, holding the ear of corn upright, cut the corn from the bottom half of the cob in 3 steps. Using a sharp knife cut off first the tips of the kernels. The second time, take the middle, and lastly, cut it as close to the cob as you can get. Then there is a next step, which my mother always called “milking the cob.” Using your knife, you rake the knife firmly and get the “milk” from the cob. Flip the corn over and do it in that bottom, them discard the cob. After you have removed the corn from the cob in these steps, take a good heavy skillet and using medium heat, put your butter in the skillet. As it starts to melt, add the corn and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover with a tight fitting lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. This feeds 4 people. Depending on the corn you use, you may find you have to add more cream/milk after 20 minutes or so, if it gets dry. Mine sometimes does, and we like ours wet. Use your own discretion on that. During the summer, you will no better corn than this. I serve mine right in the skillet, just put a hot pad under it and sit it on the table. I also double this recipe. It takes some time, but you may never eat corn out of the can again. Enjoy!

ALL RIGHT! YOU PUT UP THE ONLINE RECIPE BOOK!!!!!! YE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

HMO's Two doctors and an HMO manager died and lined up at the Pearly Gates for admission to Heaven. St. Peter asked them to identify themselves. One doctor stepped forward and said, "I was a pediatric spine surgeon and helped kids overcome their deformities." St. Peter said, " You can enter." The second doctor said, "I was a psychiatrist. I helped people rehabilitate themselves." St. Peter also invited him in. The third applicant stepped forward and said, "I was an HMO manager and I helped people get cost-effective health care." St. Peter said, "You can come in too." As the HMO manager walked by, St. Peter quietly added, "But you can only stay three days... After that you can go to hell.

At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," remorsed the patient. ~~~~~ One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more that five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart." ~~~~~ I was helping a patient into the bathroom when the patient exclaimed, "You're not coming in here with me. This is a one-seater!" ~~~~~ During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, the informed his doctor that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?", asked the doctor. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" The doctor had him quickly undress and discovered what he hoped he wouldn't see....Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one. ~~~~~ While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered, "Why, not for about twenty years -- when my husband was alive." ~~~~~ I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste," the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly." ~~~~~ When my grandmother was in her late eighties, she decided to move to Israel. As part of the preparations, she went to see her doctor and get all her charts. The doctor asked her how she was doing, so she gave him the litany of complaints -- this hurts, that's stiff, I'm tireder and slower, etc., etc., etc. He responded with, "Mrs. Weiss, you have to expect things to start deteriorating. After all, who wants to live to 100?" My grandmother looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Anyone who's 99."

Did you hear about the two little kids in a hospital who were lying next to each other? The first kid leans over and asked, "What are you in here for?" The second kid said," I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous." The first kid said," You've got nothing to worry about, I had that done to me once. They put you to sleep and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It's a piece of cake!" The second kid then asked, "What are you in here for?" The first kid responded, "Well, I'm here for a circumcision." The second kid said, "Whoa! I had that done when I was born. I couldn't walk for a year!"

Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test, and best of all, you can do these simple practice exercises right in your home. EXERCISE 1: Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough. EXERCISE 2: Visit your garage at 3 AM when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off all your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the other breast. EXERCISE 3: Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again. You are now properly prepared.
