You Don’t Know This But…

*One of my favorite quotes is this one by Lao Tzu: “When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you.” I remind myself of that a lot.

*I dislike the word “hobby,” as well as the question, “What are your hobbies?” I have asked and answered that question on many occasions and I have no repulsion to the actual meaning of the word, there’s just something about the way it sounds that makes me feel, I don’t know, yucky. Although, I do sort of dig the pronunciation you can listen to here. Listen to it three or four times and it becomes pretty funny. I think that’s how I’m going to say “hobby” from now on, so maybe I won’t dislike it so much.

*One of my favorite recipes to make is this one that I found in a Just For Kids cookbook. You can check out the original recipe here. They call it Western Wagon Wheels. I call it delicious. Here’s how I make it for our family:

Cook about two pounds of beef in a skillet on medium heat until it’s browned.
Combine the beef, a box of pasta, 2 cans of stewed tomoatoes, 3 cups of water, two bags of frozen corn and a bottle of barbeque sauce in a pot and bring it to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover it and let it simmer about 35 minutes.
Eat it with Chi-Chi’s Sweet Corn Cake and feel awesome.

*I used to make the cheese sauce for my Macaroni and Cheese in a little saucepan while the macaroni was cooking so I could be sure it was adequately mixed and then evenly distributed in the macaroni. Someone made fun of me in college for doing that. They told me it was weird and that everyone else in the world just threw the cheese sauce ingredients in with the drained pasta and mixed it all at once. So, I started making it that way. I think I’m going to go back to my old way of making it. It tastes better.

*One of my favorite songs is this one:

Like A Rolling Stone
By Bob Dylan

That’s a great song! That was pretty much my first real introduction to Bob Dylan, at the late age of about 20 or so. I still haven’t heard his newest album, although I’m curious.

That sounds like a good idea (making the cheese sauce separate). When I mixed them together, the sauce is a little clumpy.
