  1. We just had salmon tonight so I thought I'd share our family's favorite recipe. This recipe works well for frozen salmon I buy at Aldi (and thaw first, of course): Baked Salmon I got this recipe from Quick Cooking magazine, where it was called “Pecan-Crusted Salmon†but when I make it, I don’t use the pecans. I also downsized the remaining ingredients to reduce waste and limit sugar. This recipe was one of the first fish recipes that my children liked (probably because of the sugar), but that has made it a “gateway recipe†to them eating more fish. Ingredients (Ingredients in parenthesis are from original recipe, but I use the non-parenthetical ingredients) · 1 pound salmon fillet cut into about 4 portions (4 salmon fillets about 6 oz. each) · Milk- enough to cover fillets in a pan or plastic bag (2 cups milk) · (1 cup finely chopped pecans) · ¼ cup all-purpose flour ( ½ cup flour) · 2 Tbsp. brown sugar ( ¼ cup brown sugar) · 1 tsp. seasoned salt (2 tsp. seasoned salt) · 1 tsp. black pepper (2 tsp. black pepper) · Vegetable oil (3 Tbsp. vegetable oil) Place salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag (or a covered dish) and add milk to cover fillets. Let stand for 10 minutes and then drain. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine remaining ingredients except oil. Coat fillets with the mixture, gently pressing into the fish. In a large skillet, brown salmon in oil over medium-high heat. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  2. If you go to snopes and look at "Lost Legends" it is full of made up stuff. I mean, articles where snopes does the spoofs themselves to give you some practice identifitying fallacies. They are trying to tell you never to take just one person's authority--even theirs. It is a hilarious section.
  3. We pretty much ignore them, but use the term "had gas" when necessary. At least, that's what my family says in my presence:) (they know I don't like the other words). I love the term my dad uses. He used to be a jet pilot, and when someone lets go a noisy one, he says "a supersonic mosquito!" (the noise is the little mosquito sonic boom).
  4. Parks & Recreation Community Scrubs (I don't personally like Scrubs but my family who likes Office & 30 Rock do) And I second Arrested Development
  5. You have some good ideas here, but I'm going to add one more. I've been teaching first grade Sunday school with two other wonderful teachers and we teach the class the books of the OT every year. We use this song and it works well for us: http://www.gloriadeikids.org/DisplayDetailDescription.cfm?CLASS=The%20Books%20of%20the%20Old%20Testament%20Song We like having them grouped in categories and we take time to explain the categories. The minor prophets are challenging, but we have fun with them and the lead teacher tries to see how fast everyone can do them after we've practiced for a few weeks. HTH
  6. I can't resist chiming in. You all are so funny. For years, my dh thought the line from Elton John's song was "rolling like flounder under the covers" (instead of "thunder"). I laugh every time I hear that song. He said it always made perfect sense to him. When my sister was little my mom realized something sounded funny when she sang the verse "I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart" (from the church song "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.") Upon close listening it turned out my sister was singing "I've got a piece of pastor's understanding down in my heart."
  7. Yep, the story brought me to tears. I will have to share this with my family.
  8. Love hearing the ideas so far. We had fun brainstorming at dinner about this. My 15yo dd is a big Who fan. Some ideas: Put a stain on the ceiling and tell no one to touch it. (Bonus points if it you could figure out how to actually make it set off an alarm or do something scary if you touch it.) Have someone during the party start to copying what everyone is saying. Have two light sources in one room so people will have two shadows. Have a sign in front of your driveway saying "right or left?" Hope you all have fun!
