SEARCH ENGINES Blah and #@*?#@
I went on line the other day to search for vendors of Pink Flamingo Garden Ornaments. I thought that a couple of then on my front lawn would enhance the neighbourhood I tried both Google and Yahoo and was presented with the following leads: Ten best Pink Flamingo dealers in Sarasota; twenty best Pink Flamingo retailers; fifteen best mail order Pink Flamingo sources. I made up the story of wanting Pink Flamingos, but you know how search engines go - aargh. In truth I was searching for a window cleaner a couple of weeks ago and had to wade through the many "best" lists (including one, I kid you not, which proffered the thirty best, which must be every window cleaner in the City. Away from the lists I found a window cleaner who promised to come last Wednesday. It rained all Wednesday morning, and again on Thursday, so I was not surprised that he was a no show.

Jazzing up yer Rice
Cook the rice with the quantity of your choice. I cook mine in Coconut M/Silk which adds a rich flavour. Try to cook it so that some of the liquid remains. Let the cooked rice cool for a wee bit; then add the cut up pitted dates and add them to the rice. (More date bits are better than less). Throw in a handful or three of slivered almonds. Stir in the dates and almonds. Eat hot with the meat, fish, or vegan substitute of your choice. The dates add a delightful taste; the almonds add a nice bit of crunch. Yum land again! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leftovers are also good.
