Easily Tangented

Every  year, friends and family ask me for the recipe for our wonderful, amazing crab puffs appetizer… So, to make it easy on all of us, I thought I would just post it here, for whomever forgot, or wanted it, or, just found it…

So, here it is…

1 stick butter

1 jar Kraft Olde English cheese spread

1/2 tsp seasoned salt

1 1/2 tsp Miracle Whip

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1 can GOOD crab meat-not the cheap stuff…

6 english muffins- I prefer Thomas…

Soften butter and cheese in a medium to large bowl

Add seasonings and Miracle Whip

Rinse crab meat THOROUGHLY, in a strainer, til you can’ t smell anything.  Squeeze out moisture and pat dry with paper towel

Mix into other ingredients

Spread evenly on english muffins

Place on cookie sheet, and put in freezer for half an hour

Slice into sixths. At this point,  you can either place in a gallon freezer bag and save, or…

Preheat broiler

Place on cookie sheet, and broil til golden brown… 5-10 minutes.  Be careful, HOT!  place on nice plate, and get out of the way!!! They will fly off …

Enjoy!!!!

After a week’s worth of hard work, it’s time for some fun… We’re going to Memorial Hall on Friday evening, to see Red Molly…

If you are in our area, come join us. Should be a fun time!!!

A quote from the Charlotte’s Web site…

“Friday November 4 fulfills a 5 year path of mine. Red Molly captivated my attention like the whippoorwill’s song, dancing on the laughter out of a hotel room hosting a guerrilla showcase at the N.E.R.F.A. (North East Region Folk Alliance), conference in the Berkshires in New York in November 2006. Red Molly is three strikingly beautiful women, each a master of her instrument and whose harmonies carry me away to a parlor decorated in lace at an estate in Boston and then away south to a back porch in the mountains in Appalachian country.”

Google has a project starting, to bring gigabit ethernet to cities of 50,000 to 500,00 people. Google fiber for communities… That’s us! We fall in the range. We could really use this as a feather in our community caps.

So, Google. Rockford. Get together. Let’s work this out…

Please!!!

If you live in Rockford Il, contact your mayor, alderman, mother superior, anyone that can help. Get involved!

morning all,

This is a link to a story in the Irish Times newpaper…

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0108/breaking8.htm

I have been in the computer usage family for almost 8 years now. 1 HP, 3 Dells, 4 Macs. For a windows PC, I really love Dell. However, being an Irish american, I really love Ireland too.  In the next year, Dell is pulling 1900 jobs from Limerick, & sending them to Poland.

I understand that businesses have to stay competitive, but, c’mon. I am sure that Dell feels like they are doing what is best for Dell, but I’m disappointed.  To show my support for my Irish peeps, I’m not going to buy any more Dells, and, there’s a good chance the Dell we are running now will go to the basement.

One has to show their support, or disagreement with a company by speaking with your dollars. I am, though I am sorry to do so.

Hi well, they’re coming again to Rockford. The California Guitar Trio, www.cgt.com, world renowned group will be in Rockford next Saturday evening @ the Mendelssohn club. If you are in the area, you don’t to miss them…
