Recent Recipe PostsWhat is booya?April 9, 2008 - 4:19pm — bigbobbobWe hear a great deal on televion from a 'financial guy' Jim Cramer, and from those who call his program, about booya. The word is used a 'code' word by his loyal, enthusiatic listeners. I'll bet 90% of the callers and, maybe Jim, don't know what booya is. I'll bet 90% of the Independent Readers do. My Favorite Pancakes from VegCookingMarch 2, 2008 - 8:27am — Cre8tiveGangFluffy pancakes are great with fresh fruit or pure maple syrup. If you are a “chocoholic,” try adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. For a tropical taste, add chopped macadamia nuts and shredded coconut to the batter, and serve these cakes with sliced bananas warmed in maple syrup. 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour Recent Group PostsMetro Au Pair

Recent Blog PostsApril's MomMay 11, 2008 - 1:30pm — Kathy Ghost hunterI write about are true stories of the supernatural that I personally have experienced. Sometimes there is more to the story then I tell about. With Mothers Day coming up I thought this would be the best time to tell this about this case.

Posted by a Jordan resident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqbW1LxW-9w. In it to win it?May 9, 2008 - 9:57am — BrandonI’m not a huge fan of the NBA, although I would consider myself a big fan of NBA playoff basketball. The regular season, with so many games, just gets so long. And one player can routinely win a game for his team. But the playoffs are more like a chess match with each team given up to seven games to figure out how to beat the guys on the other side of the floor. Garage sailing competitionMay 9, 2008 - 8:34am — BrandonI am back in my hometown of Platteville, Wis., today to watch my sister and her future husband graduate from college. That’s all well and good, but what I’m really excited about is a competition my mom outlined for my sisters and I. We were each (along with our significant others) given $10 and told to go out into Platteville’s citywide garage sale to find the best bargain that we could. The couple with the winning treasure will get some sort of prize (she didn’t say what). I’m totally going to dominate this competition. |
