Well see, that counts too! As do hand games, jump rope rhymes, make believe games (which were the precursor to RPGs, have we thought of that?) and anything you did for fun when you were a kid.
Replying to games: Tam, I find Life of Sarah absolutely hilarious, for some reason. Just imagining kids yelling out Chayei Sarah and pelting off across the field is so funny...
We played your Two Sticks with three, and called it Belts. Probably because it was originally played with belts instead of sticks. Actually, we also played it with shoes, and sweatshirts, and basically anything you can use as a thin marker on the ground that won't roll. Method of play was step/jump in between the sticks without knocking them, and you only got three jumps, period. Sometimes we extended it to four, but rarely. Last person jumps the farthest, the sticks are re-organized with a larger equal distance between, and the round begins again. Last one standing has to redo her jump to win, otherwise it's a tie between the last two.
And to show you it's all right, a clapping game we girls used to play, giggling over the 'innuendos' and feeling grown up:
Miss Lucy
Since I learned how to clap hands in rhythm, probably.
There was a pattern for it, but I can't remember it. I only remember the tune, which was the important part:
Miss Lucy had a tug boat
The tug boat had a bell
Miss Suzy went to heaven
The tug boat went to
Hello operator please give me number 9
And if you disconnect me
I'll chop off your
Behind the 'frigerator
there was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy sat upon it
and broke her little
Ask me no more questions
Tell me no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom
Zipping up their
Flies are in the meadow Bees are in the park
Miss Lucy and her boyfriend
are kissing in the D-A-R-K D-A-R-K D-A-R-K Dark Dark Dark!
It was the height of hilarity, I assure you. If you know the tune, it makes much more sense.
Hmmm... I remember one from about third grade regarding a plum and a half a stick of gum, or a stick of gum and half a plum, and pink, and... stuff. And I remember loving it, but I can't remember anything more than that. Anyone have any ideas?

Erm, I always (well most of the time) had playbuddies...my bro and sis. We're all near the same age. And there were always neighbourhood kids to play with. I also lived in a small town and only had to cross the street to get to the main playground in town. Those were the days. Hey I just remembered!
What time is it Mister Wolf?
played at my grammie's
The person who's It stands an enough distance away from the other players, and turned away from them so It doesn't see them. The other players line up in a horizontal line. The other players ask "what time is it Mister Wolf?". The person who's It aka. Wolf has to say a number such as "3'oclock". The players have to move 3 steps, closer to the wolf. The players repeat this until the wolf feels the players are close enough to tag them. When the players ask the question again, the wolf says this time, "Time to eat you!| and tries to tag a player. If a player is tagged before they plass the original line they started from, then they become the wolf. If not, the wolf stay wolf.
Variation to those paper games
played with my siblings and cousins
This can be played with two or more people, but I usually only played it with one other (I'd like to play this with more!). Okay so you start out with a piece of paper and then you draw a head. Fold the paper and pass it to the next person. Then you draw the arms and torso, fold and pass on. Next, the legs. And finish off with the feet. Now you can unfold your drawings and uncover the ridiculous drawings you've made. Don't forget to drawing guiding lines such as near the neck because the other person won't know where it starts at.
Asa: hey! I remember when my friends sang that tugboat song! I never rembembered how it went. We said Miss Molly though. It also finished a little different too I think. I also remember a ton of skipping games too.
Here's a tune for a clapping game:
One elephant came up to play
upon a spider's web one day.
He had such enormous fun
that he called up another elephant to come. (Then you go to two elephants)
Don't ask me to describe the movements o_o
Pretend games...um...my sister and I would play with her ton of frogs, or my ton of dalmatians a lot. One time we played with her frogs for three hours straight! One of her frogs were a king, another a king, a prince, and a girl frog the prince was crushing over. He had a slightly french accent too XD Anyway, she had over 30 frogs and we remembered everyone of their names, what their voices sounded like, and what relationship they had with whom (parents, siblings, dating, crushes, enemies, friends). I guess you can say it was pretty elaborate for us as we could pick up the game and have the same or different story line.
We had so much fun playing pretend, I don't think we stopped playing with toys until we were near 12 or something when everyone else we knew at the age were into other things XD Actually, I went through some old toys that I wanted to get rid of, but I just couldn't get rid of almost any of them! They all had some kind of meaning to me and some memory of childhood. So there they stayed in a big bucket at my dad's house

Another clapping rhyme;
I went to the chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of
Bread, bread, bread!
She wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what she
Said, said, said!
My... Name... Is...
Elvis Presley.
Girls are sexy,
Sitting in the back seat, (gesturing with thumb behind)
Drinking Pepsi. (gesturing as if drinking)
Having a baby (rocking motion with arms)
In the Royal Navy. (salute)
Boys go *kiss kiss*
Girls go *scream*
It made absolutely no sense whatsoever, but I think that was beside the point. The whole point was to make as much noise as possible while being given a legitimate reason to slap your playmates (albeit on the hands).
I had such a violent childhood.
I was a young leader for a Brownie unit for five years so I have a hundred of these games. A favourite was...
O'Connel Street
played at Brownies or with any large group of children
One player (usually the young leader) is decreed leader and they shout "As I went down O'Connel Street (echoed by other players) I saw..." and then something ridiculous is mentioned eg. A man on a unicycle. The other players then have to act this out, in this case by running round in circles picking their feet up like they're riding an invisible unicycle. The process is repeated as often as the leader deems necessary with increasingly complex oddities until the players are exhausted.
We played that a lot at the end of the meetings so they'd go home and sleep!

I played that game, but the wolf was a fox and said "MIDNIGHT!" in stead of "Time to eat you!"
What time is it, Mister Fox?
Played with cousins, siblings, and during PE in elementary school.
Same rules as dreamer's version, but winning works differently:
Anyone caught be the fox joined the fox's team, until there was only one (or two or three, depending on how many people) rabbit left. That person wins the round and becomes the next fox.

I remember one game.
Red Light, Green Light
Played in elementary.
Group of people run to get to the person who's the traffic light. When ever the traffic light person says "Red light!" the runner must freeze and if you move or fall, you're out of the game. "Green light!" means go (obviously), and the first person to reach the light stop becomes the next traffic light.

mirf: I remember playing that too. Mostly with adults organising it though.
Fire water
skipping with a group
Yeah, skipping game. A whole group jumps, hopefully at the same time. A tune is said and whatever action is said, everyone has to do. If someone doesn't do the action, then they're out.
There's two versions of the tune for this game, just from the two places I've lived in.
Fire, water
Stand up, sit down
Turn around, touch the ground
Russian, bottle
Fire, water
sit down, stand up
russian, beer bottle
I could not stand the second one, because it sounds so akward and I grew up with the first one.
Hi low
Hi, low,
medium, slow go
run through, jolly ole
(rope turns pepper, or fast; repeat the tune)
Hi, low
medium, jolly
snakes, cradle
Whatever one you stop at, you have to jump to. So if you land on slow, the rope gets turned slow. You have to skip longer than your age so you can go again...I think. Jolly is either jump with one foot and covering an eye (for the second tune), or the rope turns like a cradle (the first one).
I have a handful more I think, but the list gets quite long -_-;

From when I was more active, and my friends and I were not swamped with life in general (aka work):
Smear the Queer:
No idea why we called it that at the time. At the time, queer was a harmless word, and not meant in a malicious way among us. Anyway.
It's intended for only 2-6 players. The person who was the Queer had an American football and would run from one end of the yard to the other, trying to make it back and forth as many times as they could before tackled. Once tackled, they had to 'fumble' the ball, and whomever recovered it became the new Queer. It went on like this until we got completely worn out. XD
We played this in the winter. No idea why, just never played it during other seasons for some reason.
One Killer would chase the other kids around the yard until he managed to tackle everyone, the last person to be tackled becoming the new Killer. Perhaps there was a good reason we played it in the winter-time. My younger brother (by four years) and his friends liked to play with us too, and they obviously couldn't quite get people down on their own, unless they had help (e.g. snow causing limited traction, thus easier to bring us bigger kids down). We'd be so active in that game that we were usually going about in below zero weather without shirts on by game's end because we were running so hard, and having such a blast.
Clearly, I never needed video games for violence fixes. XD Who needs a video game when you can clobber your friends as many times as you like to vent, and have fun at the same time?
Edit: I actually broke my arm playing Duck, Duck, Goose once. o.o; The grass was too slippery, and I landed badly when going for the safe seat.
Also, Musical Chairs:
I can't believe this game hasn't come up yet! Prolly because most people play very tame versions of it. XD
If you've never heard of this one, basically there are a number of people that walk around a number of chairs. The number of chairs is always one less than the number of people. They walk around the chairs, which are arranged in a cluster, until the music stops, then make a mad scramble to not be the one left without a seat. The one without a seat is out, and they remove a chair, starting anew with the trimmed group until at the end it's just one chair and one person beating out the other for a victory.
I played a notable game of it with... 10 people or so, and we were aged between 15-18 (this was the same party where I later would break my arm playing Duck, Duck, Goose. It was a wild party, apparently. o.o) My elder sister's boyfriend at the time made a wild leap for the last seat which entailed him literally diving over the people who were already seated for the last seat. Funniest thing is, he actually made it to the seat in time. We have it on video too. XD

Quite stupid, really.
I had a lame childhood. We played games with rocks, shoved people in the fishpond, and played with the animals. This probably accounts for a lot of strangeness later on, lol. My only playmates were my brothers and the twin girls down the road.
Those girls didn't like me. >>

A clapping game:
Miss Mary Mack
(I can't believe no one's brought this up yet. . .)
From age three to age seven
Tune: Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
with silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.
She asked her mother, mother mother
For fifty cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Go jump the fence, fence fence
They jumped so high, high, high
Into the sky, sky, sky,
That they didn't come back, back back
Till the 4th of July, ly, ly.
Played a year ago in Mexico with a group of younger kids.
One person wraps their arms around a pole, and the rest of the players form a line, hanging on to each other's waists. So you'd have A, holding onto a pole, B holding onto A, C, holding on to B, D holding onto C. . .etc. Person D will try by pulling, pushing, jerking, or tickling, to make person C let go of person B. If C let's go, person D tries to do the same to person B, and then person A. If person D gets A to let go of the pole, they win, and the game starts again.
As for imaginary games. . .I liked playing Aladdin. I also like playing wilderness survival and digging up dandelions and wild onions. I used to play a ton of pretend games - most of which took place on a large pile of broken concrete that my parents were using to build a wall.

My favorite pretend game was mermaids, whenever I was in the pool. I played this long past the time my friends outgrew it, and I still would if I could get anyone to play with me. Maybe that's why I like RPGs, it's essentialy the same thing.

Same here! Mermaids was awesome fun up until I was swimming along the bottom mermaid-style (ie. just using the leg part of butterfly stroke) and I chinned the bottom of the pool. Owie!
My friends and I used to play Famous Five, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Rescuers (ya know, the film with the mice), Redwall (Brian Jaques) and all kinds of others. It was awesome being a kid and throwing off any sense of embarrassment to run aroud fighting bad guys or being kidnapped and rescuing each other. Oh those were the days... </nostalgia>

Text of report by Iranian official government news agency IRNA
Tehran, 12 November: Russian deputy foreign minister for the Middle East
affairs and Iranian foreign minister met on Saturday [12 November] to

Iran, Russia Ink Agreement on Strategic Security Cooperation
TEHRAN (FNA)- Senior officials of Iran and Russia's national security
councils signed an agreement on strategic cooperation between the two
countries during a meeting in Moscow on Friday.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Undersecretary Ali Baqeri,
and Undersecretary of the Russian Federation's National Security Council
Yevgeny Lukyanov signed the agreement.
Speaking to reporters after endorsing the agreement, Baqeri said the two
sides had been working on the document for some time before it was inked
"This document includes different aspects of cooperation between the
Iranian and Russian national security councils in various security,
economic, political and intelligence fields," he explained.
Baqeri left Tehran for Moscow on Tuesday, a few hours before the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General released his
latest report on Iran.
During the visit to Moscow, the Iranian security official met with his
Russian counterpart as well as the Russian Federation's National Security
Council secretary, foreign minister and deputy foreign minister.
During the meetings, the two sides reportedly discussed a range of issues,
including Iran's nuclear activities and the IAEA report on Iran, the
Russian 'step-by-step' proposal for Iran-West nuclear standoff, and the
recent developments in the Middle-East.
The recent accusations leveled by the US against Iran as well as
Tehran-Moscow security cooperation were also on the agenda of talks
between Baqeri and the Russian officials.
Baqeri's talks with Moscow officials came as the fourth round of periodic
meetings between Iran and Russia in the last three months.

Russia may build more nuclear power plants in Iran
16:09 10/11/2011
MOSCOW, November 10 (RIA Novosti)
Russia is studying an Iranian proposal to build more reactors at the
Bushehr nuclear power plant, the head of Russia's state-controlled nuclear
corporation, Rosatom, said on Thursday.
"We are currently studying the proposal, as the international community
has no concerns about the construction of nuclear power generation units,"
Rosatom head Sergei Kiriyenko said.
The project, if approved, would require amendments to an intergovernmental
agreement between Russia and Iran, he said.
Iran has applied for SCO membership and proposed building nuclear labs
with Russia
11.11.2011 08:45 msk
Tehran has applied for membership with SCO, says Ali Bageri, the deputy
secretary of Iranian supreme national security council, reported by
a**Vzglyada**. At a press conference in Moscow Mr. Bageri has confirmed
filing an official application.
SCO dates back to 2001, initially consisting of China, Russia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The organizationa**s original goal
has been defined as countering extremism and strengthening the border
safety. Later, the organization has been joined by India, Pakistan, Iran
and Mongolia as observers. Afghanistan and Turkmenistan have been invited
to attend the organizationa**s meetings as guests. Belarus and Sri Lanka
have got the status of dialogue partners. In 2011, Afghanistan has
officially applied for the full membership.
Meanwhile, at the same press conference, Mr. Bageri has dismissed the
recent IAEA report on the Iran nuclear program as politicized and
inaccurate: a**we regard this report as purely politically inspired, for
the IAEA voices accusations before thorough investigation has been madea**
- he said, according to Interfax.
IAEA report on the Iranian nuclear program claims that Iran has been
working towards nuclear weapon since 2003. In response to this report, the
United States, Great Britain, Germany, France and other European Union
member-states have urged for toughened new sanctions against Iran. In
turn, Russian Foreign Ministry has criticized the IAEA report as a**out of
datea**. We see it also as an attempt to undermine some of the Russian
initiatives designed to handle the existing problema** a** said the
Russian Foreign Ministry.
Recently, Tehran has proposed that Moscow should build two nuclear labs
and five new nuclear power plants in Iran, according to Interfax quoting
a**Green movementa**, an oppositional organization from Iran. Allegedly,
the proposed labs are to be built close to the nuclear center in Esfahan
and Iran is prepared to pay around 7 billion US$ over a contract ready to
be signed this month, said Gazeta.ru.
According to the a**Green movementa**, Tehran and Moscow are also
negotiating construction of five new power plants in Iran, totaling
altogether to around 40 billion US$. U
Russia has already built one power plant in Iran, launched on September
12. At a meeting of the Russian government, the president of a**Rosatoma**
corporation Sergei Kirienko has explained that Tehran proposes to add a
number of new energy blocks to already existing power plant. a**Since
construction of new energy blocks raises no doubts by the international
community, we find it quite possiblea** - he said, according to RIA
Fergana International Information Agency
Russian general warns of consequences of possible Israeli strike against
Text of report by corporate-owned Russian military news agency
Moscow, 10 November: If Israel attacks Iranian nuclear facilities, this
may result in casualties among peaceful population and radioactive
contamination of a large territory, Maj-Gen Yevgeniy Starkov, commander
of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops, has told
Russian military news agency Interfax-AVN.
"If Israel or other Western countries indeed decide to deliver air and
missile strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, where a nuclear bomb is
allegedly being made, this will result in human casualties and
radioactive contamination of the Iranian territory," Starkov said.
The radioactive contamination of the territory will depend on the force
of the air and missile strike, he added.
"Of course, there will not be nuclear chain reaction, I think, but the
territory will be contaminated, no doubt. The scope of contamination
will depend on the force of air strikes. As the tragedy at the Japanese
nuclear power plant Fukushima has shown, consequences may be
unpredictable," Starkov said.
According to Starkov, the operations and coordination centre of the
Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops, which is located in
Noginsk, Moscow Region, is monitoring radiation situation across Russia.
"In case a strike is delivered on Iran, forces and means of our
operations and coordination centre will register possible contamination
of the territory at once," he added.
Previously, the Israeli authorities have said more than once that a
preventive strike on Iran is possible in order not to allow it to
develop nuclear weapons.

hayley babydoll dress
by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

PanOxyl At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive.
Weaknesses: Some cleansers are in bar form; no BHA options for those struggling with acne.
This small line of anti-acne products is sold in many drugstores, sometimes positioned near the pharmacy. Knowing that this line comes from a pharmaceutical company (Stiefel) that specializes in dermatology, the incomplete nature of what they offer consumers is very disappointing.

Safety Tips
As with any type of baby carrier, always inspect your Beco Baby Carrier for damage before using and follow all instructions. Never perform any task that could be dangerous with your child in the Beco Baby Carrier. Use common sense! Always double check that the buckles are connected properly. Never unbuckle the waist belt while the baby is in the carrier. By purchasing this product, you acknowledge that the Manufacturer or Distributor accepts no responsibility for injury/damage due to the use/misuse of this product. Your child's safety is your responsibility. Be sure you have help getting your baby into and out of the Beco Baby Carrier until you become comfortable with it. If you are starting out with babywearing, do so over a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or carpeted floor covered with a blanket.
Please observe the following while wearing your baby:
Please support your baby with a hand or two while you and your baby are getting used to the sling. You and your baby will become more comfortable in time and you'll be able to free one or both of your hands. Please, DON'T GIVE UP! Babywearing takes practice just like all other parenting tasks. You can make the process easier by making sure that baby is fed, rested and happy before you try the carrier the first few times. Also, be sure to pull the top rim of fabric up to cover the entire back of your baby to avoid a "backdive." Never wear your baby when cycling or riding in the car. While cooking at the stove, use only back carry position. A sling doesn't substitute for a car seat. When bending, please bend at the knees, not at the waist, and hold the baby with one hand while reaching with the other. Never drink HOT beverages when wearing baby, although your sling will come handy for eating, especially in restaurants.

Comments about Nespresso Electric Aluminum Espresso Machine:
I use it just like an espresso machine at least 2-3 times a day, the product is great. It is the company behind the pods you have to purchase
Don't get me wrong the product is good, however you need to be aware the company behind the PoDS you have to buy is terrible, there service of when they will arrive does not happen, they fail on shipping the purchased pods as well as the $50 credit you are suppose to recieve. Not Customer service centric at all.

As they approach the halfway point of their season, the Cleveland Blue Raiders have one goal in mind when they host District 5-AAA opponent Soddy-Daisy for homecoming Friday — to finish off the first half of the season with their fourth win.
"We all know that the second half of the season is a major district half. All we want to do is finish the first half 4-1," Cleveland head coach Ron Crawford stated. "We've been together for a year. I think last year the team had no clue how to act; now we have a concept of what winning behavior and mental toughness look like. That's been a big push of ours."
On the other side of the coin, the now fifth-ranked Class 5A Raiders will soon be staring at a schedule that consists of a tough meeting with fourth-ranked Knoxville West and then four consecutive district games to finish the regular season.
"We've practiced better each and every week and I want to see that continue. The magnitude of the games each week as we go on is only going to increase. I think that being able to handle the good and the bad during that stretch run is going to be key for us," Crawford said. "Staying on an even keel, remaining poised and being able to focus on the task at hand and not look ahead are all areas that we were incapable of last year. I think that we've done it up until this point, and I want to see that carry over into the second half."
The key, according to the coach, is to not let the team get ahead of itself and lose focus on the task at hand.
"I think we learned a lesson last year as a staff and as a football team. We had started gathering data on potential first-round opponents early and looking at it and getting ahead of ourselves," Crawford said. "I have not seen anything on Knox West, so we're totally focused on Soddy-Daisy and that will finish out the first half of our season."
Last week the Raiders overcame a slow start to finish off Lebanon-based Wilson Central, 33-13. According to Crawford, that win was made possible by his much-improved special teams.
"Right now our most significant improvement on our football team is our special teams. I mean all around, not just our kicker Oscar Galvan, punter Zack Lee and snapper Chapman Parks, but I think all the guys covering kicks and returning kicks have improved," Crawford explained. "For example, in last Friday's game we had a 60-yard punt, which totally flips the field, we kicked a field goal on the very next play and then pooch kicked it, a great kick — they fumble it and we get on it. In a game where we thought they had an advantage in special teams, special teams won us the game. That's been our No. 1 area of improvement for our football team."
Crawford has also seen weekly improvements in the team's defense and offense, although he acknowledges that there are still things to work on.
"From week to week defensively, we've gotten better. If we can quit turning the ball over we can be dynamic offensively. We turned it over five times on Friday and still won against a good football team. We can't keep doing that, no matter how dynamic they are," Crawford commented. "I want to see us cut down on turnovers and we've got to help ourselves out and create some turnovers. We're undersized on defense but we have been sliding around the ball."
Although Soddy-Daisy's recent history has been rather lackluster, the Trojans, who have gotten off to a 2-1 start under new coach Justin Barnes, are not a team to underestimate.
"We've seen a team come in here that is 1-8 and run up and down the field on us. If you learn from your past and if history teaches us any lesson, then we need to worry about us and our execution," Crawford said. "I think you approach this team as this current team. They've got a new coach and new staff and you can tell by watching on film that they are well coached, have a plan and are playing hard. Of the three games that they've played, they have won the two that they should have. Soddy-Daisy has done a great job to get where they are right now."
According to Crawford, the Trojans' offense is familiar to the Raiders, but their defense is something quite different.
"Offensively they are similar to us, which probably makes it easier for us to practice this week. Defensively, they are different than anything we've seen at this point, if what we have seen on film is what they carry into Friday night," Crawford stated. "Kicking game wise they are pretty solid and kick the ball deep. It's really a team that is playing with some energy right now. We've got more veterans and speed, so it will be the team who shows up and plays the hardest."
Juniors TJ Parker and Raekwon Bunion currently lead the Raiders in rushing with 33 runs for 200 yards and 50 runs for 267 yards respectively.
Senior DJ Jones has had 21 receptions for a total of 339 yards, while senior Tyler Davis has 11 receptions for 230 yards.
Senior QB Austin Herink has completed 76 of his 127 attempted passes for a total of 1,099 yards and 10 touchdowns thus far in the season.
The evening will literally end with a bang, as Mount Olive Ministries and Larry Hill Ford put on a fireworks show for the crowd.

Greetings, Froggyland! It has been months and months since I have taken the time to sit down and write and blog post, but it hasn't been for lack of anything to tell you about. I have been crazy busy lately. I hope your summer was frogtastic! Mine was awesome! I grew sunflowers and made pickles. I realize that neither of those things sound like gigantical feats of accomplishment, but trust me when I say they are. When I was a kid my grandma always had the best gardens. Flowers of all different varieties. It was like walking through a scented rainbow. And her veggie garden . . . AMAZING! Tomatoes, cucumbers, rhubarb, strawberries . . . she never needed to go the grocery for produce because she grew everything in her back yard. And I don't need to tell you that homemade cooking from grandma's house was even more delicious because she grew everything herself. Despite the hours that I spent helping my grandma with her gardens I did not inherit that green thumb gene. I am really good at killing plants. I forget to water them for weeks on end, and then when I do finally water them I drown them. So back in the spring it was a shock to everybody, especially my husband, when I said I wanted to plant sunflowers. He agreed to help me but I knew that he was thinking that it was a matter of time before those poor, pretty sunflowers would bite the dust. On Derby weekend back in May I got 12 cinder blocks and painted them bright yellow. I made a nice garden box out of them and filled them with bags of potting soil. Then I planted the seeds. Over the next days and weeks I checked my little flower box daily for the progression of seeds to gigantic, gorgeous, happy sunflowers. They got huge! I named them. The biggest one was named George. There was also one named Fred. My son named a few . . . Happy Feet, Teeth, and Dead. My son is weird, and yes, named one of my sunflowers "Dead." We thought that particular sunflower was not going to make it. It was looking sickly and blah. We watered it and talked to it but resigned ourselves to the fact that I had killed a sunflower. That is when Nathan named it "Dead." Then lo and behold one day it had perked back up. It grew and grew and grew! When "Dead" was obviously no longer dying I asked Nathan if we could change its name. He adamantly said no. So, Dead became our zombie sunflower. It was dying and then it decided to live, but Dead it remained all the rest of the season. My sunflowers got gigantic! I am only 4-foot-10, but my husband is 6-foot-4 and some of those sunflowers were twice as tall as he was. I loved to see them waving in the breeze. So pretty! I managed to successfully grow flowers without killing them. Maybe I got a little bit of the green thumb gene after all. While waiting for my sunflowers to grow I also decided that I wanted to try to make real actual homemade pickles. I am a kosher dill pickle addict! I can eat those things by the jar. My grandma used to make her own pickles when I was a little girl, and her pickles still stand out as way more yummy than any store-bought pickle. I wanted to try to recreate that. I bought little pickling cucumbers from the farmer's market, Ball jars, vinegar and proceeded to spend and afternoon making my kitchen really, REALLY stinky! Vinegar can sure stink up a kitchen fast. It was worth it though. A few weeks later I had homemade, crunchy, garlicky, sour, kosher dill pickles that I made myself. Now they were not near as yummy as my grandma's pickles, but is anything ever as good as when grandma made it? A few weeks later I bought more jars and made more pickles, and then a few weeks after that I made lots more pickles. I had to make sure I've got enough to get me through winter. So, now that I have conquered the basics of growing sunflowers and making pickles I have decided that next spring I want to get a plot in the community garden in Paducah. the plots are 12x8 and it's an organic garden. I could grow my own cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers . . . all of the veggies I love to cook with. I will admit that I am a little intimidated by the prospect of all that dirt and those seeds, but I grew sunflowers so surely I can grow tomatoes. I can't wait to see what my garden brings forth next year. I can't wait to dig in the dirt with my bare hands and plant all those seeds. I can't wait to sit in the middle of my garden with a salt shaker and eat tomatoes straight off the vine under the hot summer sun. Do you have any favorite memories of your grandma's garden, or advice you want to share with this novice gardener? I would love to hear it. You can send me an email at email@example.com. Until next time . . .
By now you have figured out that I love to cook, especially for my friends. If something I make for a friend makes them smile then that makes me feel absolutely wonderful! So I was recently baking cookies for some friends. Sheet after sheet of raw cookie dough made their way into the oven and exited 12 minutes later as delicious-looking, yummy-smelling strawberry-chocolate-chip cookies. So good! These cookies are a favourite of Nathan's. As a matter of fact he is the reason why they are always strawberry-chocolate-chip and no other flavor. As the warm, gooeyness exited the oven and made their way to parchment paper to cool Nathan was right behind me like a little leechy shadow. He wanted a cookie soooooo bad. I told him that I was baking them for some friends, but the smell was driving him insane. You would have thought that I was baking Happy Meals in my oven. Sheesh! He was doing everything he could to try to get a cookie. He gave me the sweet "I-Love-You" eyes, he gave me hugs, he offered to do dishes . . . and then he brought out the Ukulele. What can I say about Nathan and his Ukulele? He wants to be able to play like Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix. He even rocks the Pete-Townshend-windmill when he plays his Ukulele. It's pretty epic! He hasn't quite figured out how to play yet, but he has fun with it and he is ready and willing to give a concert at the drop of a hat. Which is what he did while I was baking cookies. He knows that one of the ways to his mommy's heart is through music, so he regaled me with a performance in the hopes of earning a freshly baked cookie. It worked. He got two cookies. I may have to change the name of the recipe to "Ukulele Cookies." STRAWBERRY-CHOCOLATE-CHIP CAKE COOKIES INGREDIENTS:
1 box cake mix (any flavor)
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
2 tbsp water
1 bag chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350
Mix together cake mix, brown sugar, eggs, oil and water until a sticky dough forms. It will a little bit gooier than cookie dough, but thicker than cake mix.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Place spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2-inches apart
Bake 9-12 minutes or until they are just starting to set in the middle.
My tips for this recipe:
Be forewarned that the dough will be super sticky. I have to use two spoons to get the dough on the cookie sheet. One spoon to scoop the dough and the other spoon to scrape the dough onto the sheet from the first spoon.
I usually have to leave the cookies in the over for about 12 minutes but your oven my differ.
When you pull the cookie sheets out of the oven let them sit for a few minutes before you try to take the cookies off. The cookies will be super soft, so if you let them start to cool and firm up a bit they will be much easier to take off the cookie sheet.
Feel free to try any flavor of cake mix with these cookies. I keep wanting to make them with red velvet cake mix or chocolate cake mix. Try substituting white chocolate chips or add crush walnuts . . . YUM ! This is a great recipe because it paves the way to creativity. I hope your friends and family enjoy this recipe as much as mine do. If you have any recipes or kitchen tips feel free to share them. I love swapping recipes with friends. You can send them to me via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.mcribbits, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to hearing from you and, with your permission, sharing your favorite recipes with Froggyland. Until next time have a hoppy day!!!!
I will be the first to admit that I am still a big kid. I think you heard me mention that before. I like playing in the rain, watching cartoons, coloring, and messing with all the toys in the toy store. With my childlike tendencies in mind that also means that I am still a huge fan of sloppy joe's. As a matter of fact they sloppier they are the better. My husband makes fun of me whenever I eat because inevitably my food lands on my shirt . . . every time! I need to wear a bib. At least with sloppy joe's I have an excuse for my food to land on my shirt . . . because it's sloppy. My husband, whose food never lands on his shirt, loves Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches. They are something I have never attempted to make because they are such an iconic sandwich that I didn't want to mess it up. But then I found a recipe that melded his favorite sandwich with one of my favorite sandwiches. The results . . . ASTOUNDING! Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe! (http://www.food.com/recipe/philly-cheesesteak-sloppy-joes-507569)
I had seen this recipe floating around Facebook for several days and so I gave it a go. I was easy and super yummy! As a matter of fact, when I tried to ask my husband if he liked it I got no response from him. He wasn't ignoring me or being completely grossed out by my latest culinary adventure. He was stuffing his face with Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joe's. INGREDIENTS: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 lb ground beef 1 large onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 3 tablespoons steak sauce, I like A-1 1/2 cup beef broth Salt and black pepper, to taste 1 dash Worcestershire sauce (optional) 4 large hamburger buns 1 tablespoon butter, for toasting buns cheese sauce (recipe below) or provolone cheese (sliced) or Cheez Whiz Cheese Sauce: 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup milk 1 cup provolone cheese (shredded) DIRECTIONS:
Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook 5-6 minutes or until no longer pink.
Add the onion and bell pepper and continue to cook 2-3 minutes or until crisp tender. Drain off any fat.
Stir in the steak sauce and beef broth (and Worcestershire, if using). Season with salt and pepper. Cook until liquid is gone.
Butter the cut sides of the buns. Toast the buttered sides in a hot skillet on medium-high heat. Set aside.
To make the cheese sauce:
Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook about 1 minute.
Whisk in milk, bring up to a bubble and cook until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
To serve, place a scoop of the meat mixture onto the bottom half of the buns. Top with cheese sauce (or cheese) and cover with the top half of the bun. Heather's variations: Next time I make this I will add a bit more steak sauce (perhaps another table spoon) for the extra flavor. Also next time I make this I won't use hamburger buns. I will either use hot dog buns, or get a loaf of yummy, crusty Italian bread from the bakery and split that open. I had to go the grocery store deli to buy the provolone. I couldn't find any in the dairy section. (On a side note, grating the cheese would be a great job for your kids to do while you are browning up the meat.) My cheese sauce was a bit "grainy." I don't know if I just didn't let the butter and flour cook long enough before adding the milk, or if it was because the liquid was only milk. I've never made a sauce base with just milk as the liquid. I think that next time I make this (and there WILL be a next time!) I will substitute half of the milk for chicken stock. I served steak fries and a dill pickle spear on the side. I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as my husband and I did. I was told that I would be making it again, and soon. If you have any favorite recipes I would love to hear about them and, with your permission, share them with Froggyland. I love swapping recipes with friends. You can send your recipes to me, along with any stories or shortcuts that go with them, at email@example.com or https://www.facebook.com/heather.mcribbits. Until next time have a hoppy day!!!!
Greetings Froggy friend, So, in case you haven't noticed, Froggyland is in the grips of a miserable artic blast. Everyone is bundled up and hunkered down with visions of hot summer days to keep them going. Hot cocoa is the go-to beverage for warming up chilly hands and bodies. The crackle of a comforting fireplace takes the chill from the air, and a slow-cooker full of homemade chilli gives us hearty promises of full bellies. It is wintertime in Froggyland. I am all for winter if there is snow on the ground to build snowmen and have snowball fights. But when it is cold and drab and miserable outside . . . yuck! That's when I start dreaming of warmer and more exotic locantions. I have a cousin that lives in Sedona, Arizona that I think may need a visit from me if things don't start to warm up soon. One thing I do enjoy about being stuck inside during the winter though is that I have plenty of time to try out new recipes. A friend posted a recipe on Facebook a couple of months ago with a plea to have somebody make it for him. Challenge accepted! I will be making it for his birthday soon. I love to do what I can to make my friends happy, and I love to cook. If I can do both at the same time then BONUS! Banana Pudding Poke Cake . . . if you haven't tried this recipe before then I don't know what you are waiting for. It is so yummy! I brought a piece to the station for Jumpin' Jack and I am not exaggerating when I say that I started a station war by not bringing any cake for anyone else. Everybody wanted a bite of the sweet, gooey, banana-rific tastiness that was the Banana Pudding Poke Cake. I have learned my lesson. When you work with a bunch of people that have a crazy-bad sweet tooth like I do then make two cakes one for home and one for work and everyone will be happy . . . not just Jumpin' Jack. Banana Pudding Poke Cake (http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/banana-pudding-poke-cake-2.html) INGREDIENTS: 1 box yellow cake mix (& ingredients to make cake) 2 boxes (small) instant banana pudding 4 c milk 8 oz whipped topping 20 vanilla wafers, crushed Sliced bananas DIRECTIONS: Follow the direction on the cake mix box to prepare the actual cake. Prepare it in a 9 x 13" pan. When golden, remove from over and let cool for a few minutes. When just slightly cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon (the handle end) to poke holes into the baked cake. Don't be shy; make the holes big enough for the pudding to seep into and go deep enough with the spoon that you hit the bottom of the pan. Next, prepare your pudding mixture. Combine your 4 cups of milk and the instant pudding mix; whisk until fully combined and there are no lumps. Now it's time to fill those holes! Pour the pudding mixture over the entire cake, taking care to get it into all your holes. Use the spoon to help really get it into the cake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least two hours... or until set. Top with whipped topping, crushed vanilla wafers and sliced banana! My son helped me make this cake a couple of weeks ago, and I don't mean that he helped clean the beater by licking them, although, he did get them pretty sparkly. But isn't licking the beaters the best part of baking? Nathan help make the pudding, spread the whipped topping, cut the bananas (with lots of supervision) and he crushed the Vanilla Wafers. You know that I am all about getting our kids into the kitchen and Nathan loves to help me cook. Not to mention, Nathan loves to eat and he adored this cake. I hope you, your family and friends love this cake also. If you have any favorite recipes that you would like to share feel free to send them my way. I love trying new recipes especially ones that are shared from friends. You can email me your recipes and any story that goes along with them to firstname.lastname@example.com or you can send them to me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.mcribbits. I look forward to hearing from you. Until next time have a hoppy day!!!!
Greetings Froggy friend, I hope you are doing well! Though it has been forever since I last shared a recipe from my kitchen have no fear that I have been cooking up a storm. My husband can attest to that with the number of dishes he has been washing. It seems I can't make a meal without dirtying every single pot, pan and spatula in my kitchen. With fall here everything is pumpkin-flavored. You can't turn around without seeing pumpkin spice latte's and cookies, pumpkin-flavored ice cream or coffee creamer. This time of year the pumpkins get all the glory. But what about the apple? Where are all of its seasonal flavored foods and beverages? Well, apple fans, have no fear. I am here with an apple recipe that will knock your socks off. It's great for all those holiday parties that are just around the corner, and perfect for a simple desert at home. And the best part is that it is so easy to make . . . caramel apple cheesecake. I wait for a moment while you drool over the thought of it. Yeah, it's that good. All of your friends will taste it and think you slaved over a hot stove all day long. We'll keep that secret just between you and me though. I found this recipe at allrecipes.com one day while looking for something simple to make for desert. I wanted something delicious to appease my raging sweet tooth, but I didn't want cake or brownies. I didn't want to put a lot of work into it, but I wanted to make something that was pretty. When I found this recipe and mentioned it to my husband he was ready to go to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients before I could finish asking him, "how about cheesecake for desert?" That man loooooves cheesecake. Caramel Apple Cheesecake http://allrecipes.com/recipe/caramel-apple-cheesecake/
Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch cheesecake INGREDIENTS: 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup white sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping 12 pecan halves (optional) 2/3 cup chopped pecans (optional) DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Reserve 3/4 cup of apple pie filling and set aside.
Spoon remaining pie filling into crust. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth then add eggs and mix well. Pour over apple filling in crust.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until center is set. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
Mix reserved apple filling and caramel topping in a small saucepan. Heat for about 1 minute. Arrange apple slices around outside edge of cheesecake. Spread caramel sauce evenly over. Decorate with pecan halves around edge. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Chill until ready to serve.
I didn't vary from the original recipe at all on this one. It was just too tasty to mess with. My family loved it and the whole cheesecake was gone by the next day. I was told that I would be making this again and again and again and again and again. My only suggestion is to make sure that you let the cream cheese soften before trying to take your blender to it. I didn't wait long enough and my poor blender almost didn't survive to tell the tale. My son even helped to make this. I put the pecans in a zip-top bag, gave him a pan and let him go to town crushing them up for me. He thought that was great fun. I hope your family enjoys this cheesecake as much as my family did. If you have any recipes that you would like to share with me feel free to send them my way. You can send them to me via email: firstname.lastname@example.com, or to my Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.mcribbits. Until next time . . .

Last call for Twinkies: Chicago shoppers buy up last shipment
BY JON SEIDEL Staff email@example.com December 11, 2012 10:08AM
Marian Feuling with Jewel-Osco last shipment of Hostess Twinkies, Tuesday, December 11, 2012. I John H. White~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: January 13, 2013 6:15AM
Hundreds of Twinkies. And no limits.
On the day of the country's final shipment of Hostess Twinkies, right here in Chicago, it was a recipe for a sellout in less than two hours at the Six Corners Jewel near Irving Park and Milwaukee.
The store received more than 600 boxes of the sugary treats to put on its shelves when it opened at 6 a.m. Tuesday. By 8 a.m., they were pretty much gone.
Daniel Rosado of Humboldt Park walked out of the store with what was thought to be the last few boxes of vanilla Zingers. Rosado, who said the chocolate versions are his favorite Hostess product, said he'll probably open one box and put the rest away for later with an eye on the expiration dates.
"I probably won't, like everybody else, sell them," he said.
A few minutes later, though, store officials found a few more boxes to set out — four boxes of Twinkies and two more boxes of the vanilla Zingers — for a few lucky customers like Marian Feuling who got to pick them up in front of TV and newspaper cameras.
Feuling said she lives 10 minutes away and picked up two boxes of Twinkies for her 3-year-old grandson, as well as a box of Zingers for her son and daughter-in-law.
"This is happy, right here," Feuling said.
Patti Crenshaw said she heard on the news it was her last chance to buy some Hostess treats, so she came right over. "I'm going to split them up and share them with everybody," she said.
Hostess Brands, which was reorganizing in bankruptcy, shut down operations Nov. 16 after the company said a strike by bakers crippled its business to the point it had to liquidate. It sought court approval to close and sell off all its assets.
About 160 potential buyers, including at least five major retailers, have expressed interest in Hostess' brands, recipes and some of its factories.
Hostess spokesman Lance Ignon said a deadline passed Monday for potential bidders to submit letters of interest. Hostess is evaluating what it received with the anticipation of submitting final bids to the court in January, he said.
The company shuttered 36 plants nationwide, including Twinkies' birthplace plant in Schiller Park that employed 297 workers, and a bakery in Hodgkins where 325 people worked.
The Twinkie was created by the Schiller Park bakery manager in 1930.
The Chicago region is believed to have received the country's last Twinkie delivery as 20,000 boxes arrived for sale Tuesday. They were offered to customers at the regular price, and there were no limits on purchases.
"They were not here long," Karen May, public affairs manager for Jewel-Osco, said at the Six Corners store.
While the Hostess brand and recipes for Twinkie and other products likely will be purchased and the goodies could return to store shelves, Feuling's not convinced they'll ever taste quite the same if they do.
"We're going to eat them and enjoy them for the holidays," Feuling said.

Druid's Walk
One of the advantages of traveling is getting to meet your Lomography friends. On this trip to Toronto I was lucky enough to meet up with druid (http://www.lomography.com/homes/druid) and go on a lomo walk with him. The weather was overcast so I pushed this film to try to better capture the colors of the alleys we wandered. I never would have found this area without druid guiding the way. We ended with a stop at the Lomo shop in Toronto and a coffee. A great way to spend a late afternoon. Thanks again, druid!
This photo was shot on film. Taken by trw with a Lomo LC-A+ RL (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Kodak portra 400 VC (35mm) film in Toronto, Canada.

Fiddler on the Roof features music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. The show is set in Tsarist Russia in 1905 and is based on the story of Tevye the Milkman by Sholem Aleichem. The story follows father of 5 Tevye as he tries to uphold tradition in an ever changing political and social landscape. During a period of change for Russian Jews, the family learn to cope with the decline of Tsarist Russia and the tough laws enforced on the family and the village of Anatevka. The musical is extremely popular all over the world, and was the first Broadway show to play for over 3000 performances. The original production ran for almost 10 years. Numerous revivals and a film adaptation keep introducing the show to new audiences. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

Harlequin Diamond Icon Skinny Jean
I love these pants, they fit perfectly!
These jeans have the appropriate amount of stretch without getting too loose (like the icon jean line) due to the lack of lyocell material. The use of the trendy Balmain designer harlequin print is trendy and sexy.
I am glad I got these jeans (and the black ones) on sale!

These unique bebe skinnies will show your individuality!
I love these. They look great, feel great, and will work with the season. I can top them with a turtleneck, a leather jacket, or a lacy top to switch up the looks. Finish with a patent pump or a matte flat to suit the occasion, and think about a suede bootie for those holiday occasions.
