Is it Friday yet?

This time of year, we're always so busy on weekends. It's actually hard to get our Christmas Shopping done.
I started my shopping last week, and only got a few things for my son and daughter. Couldn't find anything I liked for my wife. This coming weekend, on Friday, we're going to see Ragtime, a musical at the Thomaston Opera House with some friends that got some free tickets. It's our first time there, but it should be fun.
Saturday, we're going to a big wine tasting with some friends, then having company that evening to watch the first UCONN Men's basketball game. Ray and Aaron are coming over, and it should be good to see our defending national champs in action. Then next weekend is Thanksgiving. The first weekend of December, we're going out to dinner Friday night with friends, then Saturday night we're invited to a Christmas Party. And on it goes.

I'm going to post here one of my favorite recipes for the holidays. It's called Antipasto Squares, and it's ALWAYS a hit at parties, and easy to make.

Antipasto Squares

Ingredients:
2 Packages of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1/4 Lb each of Salami, Pepperoni, Ham, Provolone Cheese and Swiss Cheese
1 Jar sweet red peppers (mancini type)
2 Eggs
2 Tbs Parmasen cheese

Procedure:
In a 9X13” glass dish, layer across the bottom, one package of crescent rolls, then a layer of (in order) Ham, Provolone Cheese, Salami, Swiss Cheese, Pepperoni, another layer of Swiss Cheese. Lay drained red peppers on top.
Mix in a bowl, 2 eggs and 2 Tbs Parmasen cheese and pour almost all of it over the meats and cheese, they place the second package of crescent rolls on top, and brush remaining mixture of eggs/chees on top for browning purposes.
Cook 350 degrees for 30 mins covered with aluminum foil, then 5 more minutes uncovered to brown.

Here's some funnies for you today...
DID you hear about the dyslexic pimp? He bought a warehouse.

THREE old Ladies named Gertrude, Maude, and Tilly were sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation when a flasher approached from across the park.

The man came up to the ladies, stood right in front of them, opened his trench coat and exposed himself.

Gertrude immediately had a stroke.

And then Maude also had a stroke.

But Tilly, being older and feebler, bless her heart, couldn't reach that far.

Hope you enjoy!

And now, the news not fit to print:

Here's some video of the taking of Falluja. Quite a large file, but extremely good.

Russians claim to have developed a perpetual motion machine (of course, this is on the same page as stories about aliens living underground!)

Inn other Russian news, Russian citizen sues McDonald's over spilled coffee! (it's nice to see our lawyers are now practicing in Russia!)

And only in Russia would you see this. Cat rapes woman after performing oral sex on her!

Student who wins flying lessons in essay contest crashes during first lesson; vows to stick to writing

UFO Expert: Aliens may be preparing us for ultimate encounter. Get your camera ready

And that's, the rest of the story...! *S* Have a great day!
