How the Oneida Indian Nation helped George Washington.Several years back a good friend of mine, Susan Gertson from Eagle Lake, Texas sent me this great song/video by Terry Kelly, and on or around Veterans Day since then I make sure I post it for all to enjoy. This Veterans Day 11/11/11 at approximately 1100 hours (11AM), please take a brief couple of moments to remember and reflect on those who gave some or all for the freedoms we have today.<br />

For the past 10 years or so, The Oneida Indian Nations Turning Stone Casino & Resort in Oneida, NY holds a completely free <strong>Veterans Day Appreciation Breakfast open to all Veterans and their families</strong>. This breakfast isn't a standard buffet type serve yourself meal that one might expect, it's a sit down affair and meals are served personally by almost 100 servers. The meals being served are top shelf as well, consisting of various fruit cups/appetizers to Eggs Benedict and fine meats. <br />
<br />
BTW, when this Appreciation Breakfast was first begun, only about 60-70 folks first attended. Today, this meal takes their largest Diningroom and serving staff in that well over 500 Vets and their family members now attend!!<br />
<br />
A fact that this Veteran didn't know until about 6-7 years ago was that when <a href="http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/history">George Washington and his men were starving and freezing at Valley Forge, PA, an Oneida Nation Clan mother and about 11 "braves" walked the 220 miles through deep snow, blizzards and swollen rivers/creeks to bring them very badly needed corn, food and blankets to help them.</a> Washington was known to have said that had this brave and generous act not occurred, we might have a much different history today and would probably be speaking "the Kings English".<br />
<br />
Over the history of our country, <a href="http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/history/veterans">The Oneida's have a rich and lengthy tradition of having many men serving in our nation's militarys and Navys from The Revolutionary War to present day.</a> Thier involvement in our nations history is really quite interesting.<br />
<br />
The size of the Turning Stone Casino rivals any other native american casino's anywhere in the nation. There are several Pro Golf Courses on Casino property where Tiger Woods and other well known pro golfers have competed. The entertainment theaters book big name entertainers. About a month ago, the wife and myself saw Bill O'Reilly, and are looking forward to a "Four Seasons" show coming in December.<br />
<br />
Now Sir, If'n you and the Mrs. (or maybe not the Mrs.) are looking for a place to spend a great weekend, The Turning Stone Casino/Resort is your place.<br />

Ya gotta excuse Cookie's absence over the past several days. Been fight'n some nasty bug that really knocked me socks off.<br />
<br />
OK, now sir, in case ya ain't never brined a turkey let me tell ya that it will make all the difference in the world regard'n taste, tenderness and cooking time, and its actually quite simple. Over these past many years I have found this particular recipe to be the best and have received the most compliments about.<br />
<br />
<b><u>TURKEY BRINING RECIPE’</u></b><br />
<br />
This poultry brine is perfect for the holiday turkey. By using vegetable stock you get extra flavor with a mild saltiness that makes for a perfect brine.<br />
<br />
Prep Time: 10 minutes<br />
<br />
Cook Time: 20 minutes<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
• 2 cups Kosher or coarse salt<br />
• 1/2 cup brown sugar<br />
• 1 gallon vegetable stock<br />
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns<br />
• 1 tablespoon allspice berries (crushed slightly)<br />
• 1/2 tablespoon candied ginger<br />
• 1 gallon ice water<br />
<br />
Preparation:<br />
<br />
Pour vegetable stock into a large pot over a high heat. Add salt, brown sugar, and spices. Bring to a light boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pour in ice water and stir to combine.<br />
<br />
Place turkey in a large container (at least 4 gallon), or a brining bag that will fit your turkey. Pour brine over top. <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Refrigerate and brine for <u>1 hour per pound</u></b>.</span><br />
<br />
<strong>Thoroughly rinse all the brine from the turkey before cooking</strong>. Otherwise there will be a salty flavor to the turkey.Cookie.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/00949670068350863770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089280064298321606.post-3111925704728935402011-11-01T11:38:00.000-04:002011-11-01T11:38:10.194-04:00Tuesday TidbitsIt's people like this that scare the live'n shit right outta me that they will re-elect Obozo.

The Quote of the Decade: <br />
<br />
<b>“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”</b>~ <br />
<br />
<b>Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006</b>! <br />
(...it was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity!)<br />

We men are just sooooo sensitive...<br />
<br />
<strong>The room was full of pregnant women with their partners. The class was in </strong><br />
<strong>full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe and was </strong><br />
<strong>telling the men how to give the necessary help and assurance to their </strong><br />
<strong>partners at this stage of the pregnancy.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>She said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is </strong><br />
<strong>especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make </strong><br />
<strong>delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try </strong><br />
<strong>to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>She looked at the men in the room, "Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this </strong><br />
<strong>together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared </strong><br />
<strong>experience would be good for you both."</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>After a few moments, a man named Mac at the back of the room slowly </strong><br />
<strong>raised his hand.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>"Yes," said the Instructor.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag </strong><br />
<strong>while we walk?"</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>---- Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it? This kind of sensitivity just </strong><br />
<strong>can't be taught.</strong><br />

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. <br />
<br />
To check it out, she went to the Wall, and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.<br />
<br />
She watched him pray, and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview. <br />
<br />
"Pardon me Sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name? <br />
<br />
"Morris Feinberg," he replied <br />
<br />
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall to pray?" <br />
<br />
"For about 60 years." <br />
<br />
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?" <br />
<br />
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims." <br />
<br />
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop." <br />
<br />
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."<br />
<br />
"And how do you feel Sir, after doing this for 60 years?" <br />
<br />
<b>"It's like talking to a fucking brick wall."</b><br />

<b>Best Comeback Line Ever</b>..........well, you decide! <br />
<br />
Police work must be entertaining as well as dangerous.<br />
<br />
In summary, the police arrested Patrick Lawrence, 22 year old white male, in a pumpkin patch 12.01 a.m. on Friday.<br />
<br />
On Monday, at the Gwinnett County (GA) courthouse, Lawrence was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency, and public Intoxication.<br />
<br />
The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch on his way home from a drinking session when he decided to stop, "You know how a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around for miles or at least I thought there wasn't anyone around," he stated in a telephone interview.<br />
<br />
Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his alleged need.<br />
<br />
"Guess I was really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment.<br />
<br />
In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an approaching police car and was unaware of his audience until Officer Brenda Taylor approached him.<br />
<br />
"It was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said Officer Taylor. "I walked up to Lawrence and he's just banging away at this pumpkin." Officer Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence.<br />
<br />
"I said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin?' He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he looked me straight in the face and said, <br />
<br />
<b>"A pumpkin? Shit...is it midnight already?"</b><br />

A bowling alley in Clearwater , Florida , <br />
Bowl-O-Bama , is doing record business despite a bad economy.<br />
The alley also reports a record number of 300 games.<br />
Since opening in November 2010, 963 patrons have bowled a perfect game, <br />
including strikes in the warm-up frames.<br />
This alley also has the highest bowling league average in the country, with a 237. <br />
<br />
And that's the Senior League.<br />

You are never too old to make a difference.<br />
<br />
As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to <br />
"make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that <br />
our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of<br />
other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on <br />
challenges that would make many of us wither. <br />
<br />

QUOTE FROM HAROLD: <br />
<br />
<b>"I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that<br />
you're retired?' Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical <br />
engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most <br />

<br />
<strong>Cookie's Note</strong>: **The trick to a great Eggplant Parmesan is to drain the eggplant slices of excess moisture first, before cooking. By doing this the slices absorb all the great flavors of the sauce and spices. Use only good Olive oil for frying!!**<br />
<br />
Eggplant Parmesan Recipe<br />
<br />
<u>INGREDIENTS</u><br />
<br />
• 2 lbs (about 2 large) eggplants<br />
• Kosher salt<br />
• 1 28oz can Hunts Garlic & Onion Sauce<br />
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced<br />
• Garlic flavored Olive oil (if available to you)<br />
• Freshly ground black pepper<br />
• 1/2 – 1 cup all-purpose flour<br />
• 1-2 cups Panko Italian breadcrumbs<br />
• 4-6 large eggs, beaten<br />
• 1 1/2 lbs of fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds<br />
• 1 cup grated high quality Parmesan cheese<br />
• 1 packed cup fresh basil leaves<br />
<br />
METHOD<br />
<br />
1) After peeling the eggplants, cut eggplants crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Arrange one layer in the bottom of a large colander and sprinkle evenly with salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant, salting, until all eggplant is in the colander. Weigh down the slices with a couple of plates and let drain for 2 hours. The purpose of this step is to have the eggplant release some of its moisture before cooking.<br />
<br />
2) While the eggplant is draining, prepare tomato sauce. Combine minced garlic and Hunts Sauce. Season with salt and pepper (perhaps some sugar to cut the acid) to taste and set aside.<br />
<br />
3) When eggplant has drained, press down on it to remove excess water, wipe off the excess salt, and lay the slices out on paper towels to remove all the moisture. Place flour in a wide, shallow bowl, and breadcrumbs in another. Pour beaten eggs into another wide shallow bowl. Place a large, deep skillet over medium heat, and pour in a a half inch of olive oil. When oil is shimmering, dredge the eggplant slices first in the flour, then in the beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Working in batches, slide coated eggplant into hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once. Drain on paper towels.<br />
<br />
4) Preheat the oven to 350°F. In the bottom of a 10x15 inch glass baking dish, spread 1 cup of tomato sauce. Top with one third of the eggplant slices. Top eggplant with half of the mozzarella slices. Sprinkle with one third of the Parmesan and half of the basil leaves.<br />
<br />
5) Make a second layer of eggplant slices, topped by 1 cup of sauce, remaining mozzarella, half the remaining Parmesan, and all of the remaining basil. Add remaining eggplant, and top with the remaining tomato sauce and Parmesan.<br />
<br />
6) Bake until cheese has melted and the top is slightly brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.<br />

He joined as a teenager and returned home as a man, especially after the landing at Inchon! He later went on to become an Air Force F-4 Phantom pilot over Vietnam, and retired a full Colonel.<br />
<br />
Over the years as I served with the Navy Seabees, and in civilian life working with Veterans organizations, I had the pleasure and honor of serving and working with many Marines and "Old Marines", and I have always had the highest respect for "The Corps".<br />
<br />
With only one exception whom I recently had the displeasure of working with, all knew the meaning of "Semper Fi" (Always Faithful) and lived their lives as such.<br />
<br />
This is a tribute to those who understood the meaning of those words.<br />

After posting my article on this blog and sending both a copy of the post and a scathing letter regarding my feelings concerning the flap over the American flag issue, I just received this letter from the CEO of Olive Garden.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">"Dear Gene:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">We are very sorry for any misunderstanding about this issue. We do not have a policy at Olive Garden concerning bringing the American flag into our restaurants. Some members of our team were misinformed about company policy by our corporate office. As a company we take responsibility for that and we regret it. We take pride in how we communicate to our restaurants and we are correcting this so it doesn’t happen again. Like all Americans we have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the American flag and everything it symbolizes. In fact, we periodically provide American flag collar pins to our employees to wear while serving guests. We welcome anyone who wishes to bring the flag into our restaurants.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sincerely,</span><br />

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.<br />
~~~<br />
Well, there's a very simple answer.<br />
~~~<br />
Nobody bothered to check the oil.<br />
~~~<br />
We just didn't know we were getting low.<br />

Olive Garden must have gone into over-drive to get all the pertinent videos off the Internet. You don't have to watch the entire video, only the beginning of this particular video deals with the Olive Garden situation.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, this old Warhorse won't be visiting any Olive Gardens any time soon!!!<br />

<br />
My Grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I...<br />
<br />
My Father watched as his friends died in WW II and Korea ....<br />
<br />
I watched as my friends died in Vietnam ...<br />
<br />
None of them died for the Mexican Flag...<br />
<br />
Everyone died for the U.S. flag...<br />
<br />
In Texas , a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down. <br />
<br />
Guess who was expelled...<br />
<br />
the kid who took it down. <br />
<br />
Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them. <br />
<br />
Enough is enough. <br />
<br />
The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American; <br />
and every American needs to stand up for America .<br />
<br />
We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough...<br />
<br />
I'm taking a stand...<br />
<br />
I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can't stand up...<br />
<br />
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message...<br />
<br />
<br />
Let me make this perfectly clear! <br />
<br />
<b>THIS IS MY COUNTRY</b>! <br />
<br />
And, because I make This statement <br />
<br />
DOES NOT <br />
<br />
Mean I'm against immigration!!! <br />
<br />
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY! <br />
<br />
Welcome! <br />
<br />
To come through legally: <br />
<br />
1. Get a sponsor! <br />
<br />
2. Get a place to lay your head! <br />
<br />
3. Get a job! <br />
<br />
4. Live By OUR Rules! <br />
<br />
5. Pay YOUR Taxes! <br />
<br />
And <br />
<br />
6. Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants <br />
<br />
have in the past!!! <br />
<br />
AND <br />
<br />
7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime <br />
savings of Social Security Funds to you. <br />
<br />
<br />
When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???<br />
<br />
We've gone so far the other way... <br />
bent over backwards not to offend anyone...<br />
<br />
But it seems no one cares about the <br />
<br />
AMERICAN CITIZEN<br />
<br />
that's being offended! <br />
<br />

<br />
From the Chief of Police:<br />
<br />
I get irritated when people come down on our police officers, saying that they don't care. Well, here is a story that shows not all cops are in that category. <br />
<br />
The Pascagoula , MS Police Department reported finding a man's body last Saturday in the Pascagoula River near the I-10 Bridge. The dead man's name would not be released until his family had been notified.<br />
<br />
The victim apparently drowned due to excessive beer consumption while visiting "someone" in Pascagoula . He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a pink G-string, purple lipstick, and an Obama T-shirt.<br />
<br />
<b>The Police removed the Obama T-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment.</b><br />
<br />
Police do care.<br />
<br />
Thank You<br />

A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little compensation.<br />
<br />
When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores in the 1940s, she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan.<br />
<br />
The producers wanted a rhyme beginning With 'Carnation Milk is best of all.'<br />
<br />
She thought to herself, I know everything there is to know about milk and dairy farms. I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black car pulled up in front of her house.<br />
<br />
A large man got out, knocked on her door and said, "Ma'am,.....The president of Carnation milk absolutely LOVED your entry.....So much, in fact, that we are here to award you $1,000 even though we will not be able to use it for our advertisements!"<br />
<br />
He did, however, have one printed up to hang on his office wall.<br />
<br />
(Here it is:)<br />

I loved it then, I love it now. Earlier this Summer, around June or so, my granddaughter Paige expressed interest in wanting to try her hand at flying, and as you might imagine, Grandpa was elated!!<br />
<br />
So, we got her first flight lesson in a Cessna 172 ( first two photygraffs below) out of Waypoint Aviation located at Hancock International Airport at Syracuse NY. Her friend "Cam" was allowed to go along fer free. When she landed after that flight she was just a grin'n and a a grin'n frum ear t'ear. She absolutely loved it and expressed great interest in wanting to continue fly'n.<br />

Although she stated that she very much enjoyed the flight and the lesson, she later informed me that she preferred powered flight better and would like to pursue that avenue further. I informed her that after I win the "Mega-Millions" lottery I'll help her with the cost of the lessons.<br />
<br />
Fer any of you folks around the central New York area, we booked both flights at <a href="http://www.flycny.com/">Waypoint Aviation</a>, one in Syracuse, one in Hamilton, and I would highly recommend them if'n yur a think'n on get'n flight lesons fer one of yur loved on.<br />

<b>"The Rabbi and the Cow".</b><br />
<br />
The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 1,000 rubles. Being frugal, they bought the cow from Minsk.<br />
<br />
The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. Then they would never have to worry about the milk supply again.<br />
<br />
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.<br />
<br />
The people were very upset and decided to ask their wise rabbi, what to do. They told the rabbi what was happening. "Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward.<br />
<br />
When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side."<br />
<br />
The rabbi thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy this cow from Minsk?"<br />
<br />
The people were dumbfounded, since they had never mentioned where they had gotten the cow. "You are truly a wise rabbi," they said.<br />
<br />
"How did you know we got the cow from Minsk?"<br />
<br />
The rabbi answered sadly, "My wife is from Minsk."Cookie.....http://www.blogger.com/profile/00949670068350863770noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089280064298321606.post-32877634343214248082011-10-07T10:42:00.006-04:002011-10-07T10:54:47.906-04:00Friday frivolities and a Venison Stew recipe'.Hmmmm, never quite looked at it this way but Betty's sure got a valid point here.<br />

Now Sir, just about every deer hunter has his/her own "special" recipe' fer Venison Stew, and I'm no different. With that being said, it don't hurt every now and agin to try a different recipe just t'see if it might be sumthin a little better or with a new taste, so, here be Aunt Fannies Venison Stew recipe'.<br />
<br />
Aunt Fannie used t'live way up in the boonies of the Adirondack Mountains in upstae New York, and was fortunate enuff to have many neighbors who were avid hunters and gatherers. She relished her frequent gifts of game and fish, and shares this bounty with her friends. This one-pot meal is designed to make game meats taste as tender, savory and mild as the supermarket beef most folks are accustomed to.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">** A Tip Fer Y'all**</span></strong> If'n<strong> </strong>ya suspect yur meat cuts might be a little on the tough side, marinade the stew beef cuts in Buttermilk for a day before cooking. Now Sir, Cookie absolutely does not like the taste of Buttermilk, but, the great thing is that after you marinade the meat and wipe dry before cook'n, you won't taste the Buttermilk flavor.<br />
