About the Author
Appalcarp (GARY479)

Appalcarp has been my computer moniker for many years and it is really the shortened name of my business, 'Appalachian Carpentry' (and Construction). I no longer work in construction and I post various items here in the blog from jokes to stories to personal beliefs, etc. Feel free to read at will and enjoy a peaceful stay with the wonderful graphics Amber and Whitemare provided.

Great Fake Steaks!

Great idea for those of you cutting back yet still wanting the 'flavor' of good meat. You might try the 'fake steaks' idea(s) below (or the full meal):

Take about 10 or 11 ounces of good angus hamburger and set your oven on broil. As it warms, put your burger on a strip of foil. At this point begin spicing. (If you leave the center slightly frozen, you can get a bit of rare in it.) What I like to do is add mesquite smoke to one side along with Ms. Dash Original, parsley, a bit of garlic powder, some butter, some onion powder, basil, thyme, celery seed, rosemary, plenty of salt and pepper. These are my preferred beef spices and I vary them slightly from time to time. Broil one side about 5 minutes and about 4 minutes on the second side giving you approximately medium. On the second side, repeat it, but use some hickory smoke flavor and/or Bulls-eye BBQ (keep it lite). As Ramsey says, 'Delicious.'

If you want to go ahead and make a great meal, take some of the pan drippings and put in a small saucepan. Add a pat of butter or two and a tablespoon or two corn oil, then flour it up to make a roux. When it's ready, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of 1/2-1/2 and then enough whole milk to make a medium small amount of gravy to which you add canned (or frozen) peas and some olive oil (virgin) to taste for a creamed peas delight. Bring back to temperature until the peas are hot then put in a dish. (I eat half of them.) Don't do anything with what's on the bottom of the pan. Now get some frozen corn out and add to what's left on the bottom of your saucepan for a bit of creamed corn. Heat just enough to warm the corn good (I prefer frozen). Put into small bowl or on plate.

Enjoy! Any questions? You can post here or my Ancient Scrolls site.

Volcano in Chile--almost like Armageddon

Subject: Volcano in Chile
Have a look at what is happening only 300 km from my city:

And this is not Armaggedon yet!

Miren lo que está pasando a solo 300 kms de Valdivia:

Y eso que todavía no llega Armagedón.

Top 10 Men's Rest Room Rules

Here's your first five that someone else wrote (at their site):
http://manofthehouse.com/style-grooming/aging/5-rules-office-bathroom-etiquette#comments

And here's my take as well for 10 total:
There's room for a few more for a 'top ten.'
#6. If there are 3 stalls with modesty panels, don't make a stranger or coworker uncomfortable by taking the middle one. Take a side stall. Let's face it, two's a crowd and three's forced company so we can live with that. Create a buffer zone. Same with empty stalls, mitigate last night's shrimp, lobster, and bean casserole by 'space.'
#7. I may burp, barf, or flatulate, so you may want to talk to your sweet pumpkin outside the restroom. And yes, I know it stinks in here, so comments about it irritate me.
#8. For those unisex bathrooms: girls, take care of your feminine problems completely, a guy is possibly coming in next and may call 911-hazmat so don't leave unflushed (if flushable) feminine napkins OR dispose of them in the provided containers. I don't shop that aisle, but it seems as if most are now flushable.
#9. The bathroom isn't your personal smoking room. Keep it outside or in approved places. Same with that stupid 'tobacco spit.' I don't need to see spewed and chewed tobacco leaves all over the potty, urinal, or bathroom floor. Don't be a bubba.
#10. If there's some air freshener provided as a convenience, spray it! You're not rich, and even if you are, UR-POO-STINKS-2. And don't forget to wash up as soon as you're done, you'll undoubtedly touch something. If we know you and even shake hands and you're 'wet,' we'll wonder what it was.

Read God's Word now to know the future

 
http://www.jw-tube.com/videos/501/the-book-or-the-movie?

Read God's Word the Bible and know what is about to happen through its prophetic verses. Astounding events are about to unfold as never before in human history! This is a good illustration.
