Friday Flash 55.....

She's on the cover of every tabloid at the Supermarket.

She's on my home page at Yahoo every time I log on..

Is she a fashion statement?

Is she a skank?

She's the Governor of a state that has about eighty-thousand people.

and half of them eat blubber!!!

I'd rather vote for Tina Fey!!

Retro Wednesday....

My Great Grandfather brought this with him from Germany in the late 19th century. I have it still in the original case, The top pic I downloaded on E-Bay, it was selling for 25 Bucks..

It is a George Wostenholm & Sons Circa mid 19th century, fair condition..I'd NEVER sell it of course...:-)...(or anything else for that matter hehehehe)

Peace...!!!

A Rose By Any Other Name........

Cabbage Rolls...?

Stuffed Cabbage...

Pigs in the Blanket...

Golumki..

Sarma..

Holupki...

.

Whatever your family calls them, these little meat dumplings of delight are a lot of work, but well worth the effort. My Granny was German and she made the meat with with semi cooked rice, ground pork, ground beef, and salt and pepper. She rolled them in the Cabbage leaves, then cooked them in saurkraut..No garlic or tomatoes of any kind.

.

These are more my Mother-in-Laws..

The meat was made with beef, rice, salt and pepper, and about a BULB of chopped garlic!!

After they were rolled, she dumped canned tomatoes over the top...Yummo!!!

.

Pic.1..After the leaves were semi boiled, and the middle back vein removed, the left over cabbage was chopped and put on the bottom of the roaster.

Pic.2..The meat.

Pic.3..The 1st layer

They are always better the second day....

And yes, it is a very musical food!!!

Peace...!!!

27-25 Yeah Baby......

It was the Big Ten season opener,

for the Wolverines that day.

The Badgers beat them last year,

there was retribution to pay!

The first half started poorly,

Wisconsin was very rude.

Behind 19 to zip at half-time,

the team was loudly boo'ed.

.

The Red and White grew complacent,

they thought the game was won.

Thats when the Mighty Maize and Blue,

began it's historic run...

Slowly the Wolverines took the lead,

It ELECTRIFIED the crowd.

The Big House went from silent,

to deafeningly LOUD!!!

.

The Badgers showed their spirit,

A touchdown put them within two.

But the Football Gods were smiling that day..

And it was the Red, that went home Blue!!!

.

This was the 500th game at storied Michigan Stadium.

This was the largest 'come from behind' victory at the Big House.

This was Glorious..

This was College Football..

This was MICHIGAN!!!!!!!
