I just finished Jello's newest sensation, pudding that tastes like ice cream sandwiches. Well, it was supposed to taste like an ice cream sandwich. I actually tasted like chocolate pudding. They have other flavors as well, like Banana Cream Pie, which tastes exactly like banana pudding, and lemon meringue pie, which tastes suspiciously like lemon pudding.
I had a similar experience once, with the Jones cola brand.

Fake CNN email used as dirty trick in South Carolina
In what appears to be a last ditch attempt to halt Newt Gingrich's late momentum in South Carolina, a fake CNN Breaking News alert was emailed to state Republican activists early Thursday morning claiming that the former House Speaker pressured his ex-wife to have an abortion.
CNN did not send out the email alert.

Especially when one of the young people I know and am connected to on Facebook posts this! (And NO she is not in the military, nor is she a friend of my military son- she worked for me a few years ago.)

I've always liked kids. When I left cubicle life behind I decided to try working with kids.
I recently found myself at one of our most prominent elementary schools. I'm contracted to work in this after school thing that is basically an enrichment program for the rich kiddos. I'm not certified in child development or anything but am knowledgeable enough to be considered an instructor.

If you watched the news today, you might wonder what those little blips between Republican campaign reporting were. They were so short, and yet so unbelievable, that you might think you dreamed them. They were so outrageous that you might think it was actually a nightmare. But then, thank goodness, the smiling reporter returns to scenes of balloons, flags & glitter- the campaign trail!- and you feel much better.

quiet cat-like tread
lightly in the darkened room
roll out mats and
smooth cloth to flatten
rest and peace
enter together
in the room’s dark

While traveling in Italy, we enjoyed many fresh seafood dishes that were simply prepared. One such classic dish was spaghetti alle vongole, Italian for spaghetti with clams. This dish will vary through the regions, cities and restaurants but always includes just a few ingredients. One thing is a constant...it is simple, fast and delicious. The briny juices, tender sweet clam meat, garlic, and olive oil combine into one truly delectable dish.

My father would share many of his memories and stories growing up in Sicily. His parents had moved to America before he was born but soon realized they missed their home and lifestyle too much. My grandmother was then pregnant with my father so they waited for his birth and when he was a few months old, returned to Sicily. At the age of 17 and on his own, he left Sicily to come back to his birthplace.
