I love to use leftovers up by creating new dishes, and had approximately 2 cups of Jasmine rice leftover from making rice pudding.

I especially love it when a new concoction turns out as well as this one did… What a WINNER HERE!

This is what I came up with:

Ingredients

2 cups Jasmine rice
2 cups of mixed frozen vegetables (I used peas and carrots because that’s what I had on hand)
1 pre-cooked chicken breast, skinned, deboned and diced
2 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1) In a non-stick Wok, I melted about 2 tablespoons of butter and put the 2 cups (approximately) of Jasmine rice in to fry for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

2) Then I added approximately 2 tablespoons of soya sauce… just enough to make the rice coloured brown… no more than that. Fried for about 2 minutes then…

3) added about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (I used olive oil as that’s all I had, and I used it sparingly… just to prevent food from sticking to pan as it heated – NOTE: Olive oil is not supposed to be heated.) and stirred to make sure the rice was well mixed with the oil and not dripping in it.

4) Then added diced up chicken breast meat, stirred.

5) After about 2 minutes frying time, I added about 2 cups of mixed frozen vegetables.

6) Stirred in vegetables as they thawed enough to separate, then turned burner down to low, and covered the Wok with a lid for about 10-12 minutes to let the chicken fried rice warm thoroughly.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a debate that goes on inside people.

He said, “My son, the battle between two wolves is inside us all. One is Evil; it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good; it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”

The grandson thought about this for a moment and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Does anyone reading this know HOW a disc in my possession, was created. It’s a 4.7GB DVD disc that clearly has 7 AVI video movie files on it. When viewed from my computer, here’s what I see:

When playing this DVD, I have to start it in my DVD player like I would a CD… you know, it shows Track 1, 2, 3, etc. Once the first movie starts (Track 1), the rest automatically follow. Here’s what the DVD looks like on my TV when viewed in my DVD player:

Wow! I just love the fact that over 12 hours of movies are all on ONE disc… and the quality is truly NOT lost as you might think it would be either.

Just so you know, I have tried dragging ‘n dropping AVI files to a blank, recordable 4.7GB DVD disc… but my DVD player could NOT see this disc, because the DVD became a data disc, and data discs cannot be viewed using a DVD player.

Many video forums claim you CAN’T burn AVI files on a DVD disk that can be viewed using a regular DVD player. So far, they all claim you MUST convert the AVI to an ISO. Well, I’ve posted this here in hope someone, somewhere will be able to help me prove, they’re all washed up!

If ANYONE knows how to copy several AVI movie files onto ONE 4.7GB DVD disc, so that the movies are viewable when played on a regular DVD player… don’t just sit there… please, comment below!

If you’d like to learn my most advanced strategies, and step-by-step methods for curing over a dozen different types of screaming behaviours, watch the video below. The lady keeps calling a bird “an animal” but she does know her stuff.

There are dozens of reasons why parrots scream that Chet at Bird Tricks will show you how to cure, in his Secrets To Stopping Screaming program.

An example of another cause of screaming is restlessness, which is caused by a bird that’s supposed to be flying 50 miles a day looking for food, being locked up in a cage. Normally, birds are NOT locked up in cages, and they fly freely throughout their outdoor environments getting lots of exercise. When a bird is locked in a cage, the natural levels of stress that build up in all bodies of living creatures is NOT able to be burned off by exercise, so it comes out as screaming. Giving your bird attention would NOT fix their problem, they need to be exercised.

Let me put it this way…

Have you ever known someone that misbehaved just to get attention? Most kids do this a lot, and kids who have absent parents REALLY do this. In their little minds, it’s better to get some bad attention then no attention at all.

Well guess what? A screaming bird is no different. If it’s starving for attention and screaming at you and gets you to yell back – That’s ATTENTION! And that attention has just rewarded the bird for screaming …and will cause the screaming to get worse.

This is where consistency is HUGE, and has to be conveyed to an entire family if you really want to stop a bird’s screaming.

If you’d like to learn more strategies for overcoming your bird’s bad behaviour, Chet truly offers the best methods. He’ll teach you the techniques you MUST master to break a birds screaming AND biting habit.

The Law of the Garbage Truck by David J. Pollay

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked him, “Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car, and sent us to the hospital!”

That is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage — frustration, anger, disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you.

Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don’t.

If, like me, you have just received an email with the same or similar subject, claiming to be from Postal Support Georgia Norwood from manager@ups.com… please do NOT open the attached file. I’m SURE it is NOT ‘friendly’ software that is inside the attached zip file.

The email looks like this:

I spoke with UPS and they are fully aware of this particular spammer who is using their name to either harm our computers or gain access to our computers, whichever… do NOT open the attachment.

The lady at UPS informed me that if UPS ever officially sends out an email notification, they NEVER send attachments. So, knowing this will help all of us to know the difference between a spammer masking themselves as a well know, well used, and well liked business to harm us… and the REAL McCoy!

Remember: DO NOT OPEN the attachment. Simply DELETE the email.

I’m SURE you have heard this old adage before, but what you need to understand is that it’s true! How many of us take our automobiles into a garage for service? We pay someone else to do our dirty work. Why? Let’s be honest folks, it’s because most of us do NOT know how to fix our vehicles, else we’d be repairing them like our parent’s generation did… in our back yard.

Speaking with a friend who told me about this recipe, I took her word for the fact that she said, “pulled pork tenderloin is to die for…” and decided to make this for a lunch when first impressions meant everything.

I purchased two pieces of frozen pork tenderloin that was on special at NoFrills for $2.99 a pound. Each piece was $1.99, so together they were just over a pound. I slightly defrosted both pieces in my microwave oven so that I could cut them in half, in order to fit them in my crock pot (slow cooker).

Here’s my recipe:

Pulled Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Ingredients

1-2 pounds pork tenderloin
10-12 ounces of Root Beer
1 bottle of hickory barbeque sauce
4 hamburger buns, split, lightly toasted and buttered

Prepare

Place pork tenderloin in slow cooker.

Pour Root Beer over the pork tenderloin.

Cover and cook on low until well cooked, so that pork is easy to peel apart, 6 to 7 hours.

NOTE: the actual length of time will vary depending on your slow cooker.

Once cooked, drain pork tenderloin well.

With thoroughly cleaned hands, and a large bowl in front of you, pick up each piece of pork tenderloin and literally pull long strips of meat off, placing the strips of meat into the bowl… thus pulled pork. Any of the tendons left on from the butchering will come away easily making this a great way to cook pork tenderloin (though you can use other cuts of pork).

Once all pieces have been pulled and are in the large bowl, squeeze enough hickory barbeque sauce onto the pork tenderloin to make it sort of stick together in a mass. I found I had to add the barbeque sauce three times before I had enough.

Place the lightly toasted and buttered hamburger buns on plates and scoop the pulled pork from the bowl onto the bun. Serve with stir fried veggies.

Serves 4

Make sure you use hickory barbeque sauce the first time you make this. Ooooh my… is this recipe every yummy. I’m hoping my special guest will comment on this posting, so you too will know if my first impression stuff worked

Making Wienerschnitzel the easy way!

A good friend of mine told me about her great creation of easy to make spaghetti and meat sauce fit for entertaining guests with. All you need to serve this with is garlic bread and a bottle of wine!

Here’s what she told me, she used:

• President’s Choice Salsa – medium
• uncooked Italian sausages
• water

Squeeze sausage meat out of the casings and into a frying pan. Fry constantly mashing with a fork so that the meat breaks apart in pieces (like frying ground beef). Drain off the fat, and pour in the salsa… and a bit of water into the frying pan. Simmer while your spaghetti noodles cook.

Do this and you’ll have dinner in 30 minutes, fit for a King!

Here’s what I did with what I had available in my cupboard and fridge:

• 1 ½ cups (approx.) PC Salsa, Extra Chunky – mild
• 500g (or 5) uncooked Banger pork sausages
• 350 ml (little over ½ a bottle) of Classico four cheese pasta sauce.

I squeezed the sausage meat into a frying pan (removed some obvious fat and stringy stuff) and mashed the meat with a fork until cooked.

Drained off the fat and tossed the thoroughly drained meat into a larger frying pan.

I then added the left over salsa …and added just over half of the Classico pasta sauce (instead of water), then covered the frying pan with a splash screen, leaving it to simmer while my spaghetti noodles were cooking.

Easily serves 4.

WOW! Was all I could say.

Normally, one plate of spaghetti would have sufficed, but I had seconds, this was sooooo good. And my dear friend was right; spaghetti and meat sauce in 30 minutes…fit for a King!
