Common Cement, Engine Block Burgers … . . . and WHERE did I leave my keys?

ELLEN’S COMMENCEMENT SPEECH

So much fun I watched it twice.

COOKING LIKE A GUY™ WITH A HOT ROD

Denis Trover: “Out here on the desert even the women use the guys’ way to cook.”

☞ I love it. A carbecue!

The advice here is really helpful. E.g.:

Obviously, you don’t want to drive around the block 300 times just to cook dinner. That would be a waste of gas and time. Rather, if you’re already driving somewhere, find something to cook that fits into your travel plans . . .

And this, for one of those days when the car is parked in the blazing sun:

Prepare your favorite cookie dough recipe. Slice evenly and place on lightly oiled baking sheet. Place the baking sheet on top of your vehicle’s dashboard . . .

Pluses include: Dinner ready the minute you pull in your driveway; saves the gas or electricity that would have been needed to cook. Minuses: wastes a lot of aluminum foil; can’t have chocolate chip cookies and hot dogs at the same time unless willing to drive for hours with no a/c in the blazing sun.

I KEEP FORGETTING TO RECOMMEND THIS

AmazingMemorySecrets.com. Benjamin is a friend, and truly amazing. You can trust him. He may steal your watch (right off your wrist – that’s how I first met him) but he always gives it back. Want to remember people’s names? Where you left your keys? Check it out.

Quote of the Day

"There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea, however, has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them."

William Jennings Bryan, 1896
