Love Leaving Links?

Alas, the comments section allows for only limited HTML and only certain tags can be used (such as italic and BOLD)

You can leave links, however. Here's the code, but you'll need to take out the periods after the carets. <. & <./>

Pet Peeve # 00001

This is the start of a new label/subject: My Pet Peeves. As you can see, I'm allowing room for many, many more.

Here lately I've been hearing a catch phrase all over the TV, radio and on the 'net. Mostly it's been associated with sports, namely football, where the one speaking is talking about how nothing can be done about a certain worry, i.e. with the Dallas Cowboys line.

For example, someone will say "The Cowboys line isn't as dominant as we thought they would be." and some doofus will reply:

"It is what it is."

Well, sure it is what it is. If it wasn't what it was, it would be something else.

Good grief.

Fresh Feedjit Feature!

Feedjit has a new feature (yes, "new", but "fresh" is better for alliteration) that shows what readers from a particular area are reading. Since my ISP is based out of Amarillo, it shows the Amarillo hits.

Cool.

I never meant to start a recipe section of this blog, but some of the previous ones I've posted looked just too scrumptious to not share.

One of the reasons I'm posting this one is that deviled eggs were a family tradition. My mom made great deviled eggs and they were the one thing that was for sure to disappear from the dinner table when the family would gather together.

The other reason I'm posting this is because I've heard of all kinds of things being fried...Snickers bars, ice cream, pickles, Twinkies...we fry darn near anything here in the South, but deviled eggs?
