Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole:
2 pounds
boneless chicken breasts, cubed (1") Topping: Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Spray a
9X13" baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl mix together
the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and hot sauce.
Add the cubed potatoes and stir to coat. Carefully scoop the
potatoes into the prepared baking dish, leaving behind as much of
the olive oil/hot sauce mixture as possible. Bake the potatoes for
45-50 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until cooked through
and crispy and browned on the outside. While the potatoes are
cooking, add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the left over olive
oil/hot sauce mixture and stir to coat. Once the potatoes are fully
cooked, remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 400
degrees. Top the cooked potatoes with the raw marinated chicken. In
a bowl ix together the cheese, bacon and green onion and top the raw
chicken with the cheese mixture. Return the casserole to the oven
and bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the
topping is bubbly delicious. |

From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC -
| Too funny! |
| A cowboy named Bud was
overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana
when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud
of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci®
shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window
and asked the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and
calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?” Bud
looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, “Sure, why not?” The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page onthe Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.” “That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Bud. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then Bud says to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?” The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?” “You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says Bud. “Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?” “No guessing required.” answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about how working people make a living – or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog.” AND THAT, FOLKS, IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ALL ABOUT. |
Thanks, Dools!

From Jim Rohn's Newsletter - 11/17/14 - "T
hriving through the Holidays":| Thriving through the
Holidays
by Jim Rohn Enjoy the food. Enjoy the treats. Enjoy the busy schedule of activities and parties. But also be disciplined enough to know when to hold back, when to say no. When we go overboard, we regret it and lose the opportunity to fully experience that moment. But when we enjoy a little and refrain from going too far, we can enjoy all that little piece of time has to offer.
2. Lower your expectations. |

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 11/17/14:
| A blonde died and went to heaven.
When she got to the pearly gate Saint Peter told her that new rules were
in effect due to the advances in education on earth. In order to gain
admittance a prospective heavenly soul must answer three questions: 1. Name two days of the week that begin with "T". 2. How many seconds are in a year? 3. What is God's first name? The blonde thought for a few minutes and answered... 1. The two days of the week that begin with "T" are Today and Tomorrow. 2. There are 12 seconds in a year. 3. God has two first names, and they are Andy and Howard. Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy the Today and Tomorrow, even though it's not the answer I expected, so your answer is correct. But how did you get 12 seconds in a year, and why did you ever think that God's first name was either Andy or Howard?" The blonde replied, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, etc...." "OK, I give," said Saint Peter, "but what about the God's first name stuff?" The blonde said, "Well, from the song....Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own..., and the prayer...Our Father, who art in heaven, Howard be thy name...." Saint Peter let her in without another word. |
