From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_a_Second_Time:
"Not a Second Time" is a song by
John Lennon (credited to
Lennon/McCartney) performed by
The Beatles on their second United Kingdom album,
With the Beatles. Lennon said he was "trying to write a
Smokey Robinson or something at the time."[1] This song inspired a musical analysis from William Mann of The Times, citing the "Aeolian cadence" (Aeolian harmony) of Lennon's vocals as the song draws to a close, and noting that the same chord progression appears at the end of Mahler's "Song of the Earth".[2] Lennon, years later, remarked: "To this day, I have no idea what [Aeolian cadences] are. They sound like exotic birds."[3] The actual meaning of the term "Aeolian cadence" is when a major key song resolves on the VI chord, which is the tonic chord of the relative minor key. The term derives from the fact that the Aeolian mode is rooted on the sixth step of the major scale. The song was recorded in nine takes on 11 September 1963 at EMI Studios.[4] |

QUICK DINNER -- Create Your Own Signature Mini Pie (and an easy way to get rid of leftovers!)
![]() |
Signature Mini Pie Mix 1/2 cup of Bisquick, 1/2 Cup of Milk, and 2 eggs together for a base. (put about 1 tablespoon in each muffin cup) Top with about 1/4 cup of any "fillings" you want. - Cheeseburger, Pizza, BLT, Chicken and Veggies, etc.... You can mix it up in the pan (any meat should already be cooked) Then top with one more tablespoon of the "Bisquick Mixture" - and bake at 375 for 25-30. It's a great way to get rid of your leftovers! These can also be frozen! Just pop them into the microwave for a quick meal on the go! Recipe from Betty Crocker GREAT IDEA! Thanks, Evelyn! ![]() |

- "Crock Pot Bacon Cheese Potatoes":
Crock Pot Bacon Cheese Potatoes
Ingredients
1/4 pound bacon, diced – I bake it first in the oven so that it
is “done” and browned then I dice it and place in the crock pot.
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (or if you use a new potato or
Yukon gold then halve)
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, thinly sliced (shredded is fine)
salt and pepper
butter
green onions (optional)
Instructions
Line crock pot with foil, leaving enough to cover the potatoes when
finished – this will help to not stick and to steam the potatoes – also
to keep them from getting discolored or mushy.
Layer half each of the bacon, onions and potatoes in the crock pot.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and dot with (real) butter.
Repeat layers of bacon, onions, potatoes and cheese. Dot with butter.
Cover with remaining foil.
Cover and cook on low for up to 6 hours (check at 4 hours – depending on
your crock pot).
Add cheese for the last 20 – 30 minutes and enjoy!
