CGB & PENNI'S MUMMIES' YUMMI FOR YOUR TUMMI GUMMI BEAR COOKBOOK---A RETROSPECTIVE

Actually the very first weeks that CGB and I met---which was almost two years ago, we decided to write a cook book as we watched our stocks plummet (ahhh--July of 96)
the idea crops up periodically---
I thought The Stock Pot was a cute title--several people contributed ideas

Glazed Eye of Investor
Brokers en Brochette
Market Melt with Melange of Baby Green Investors
Margin Call Microbrew (I know a lot of us are crying into these brewskis lately!)
Buy on the Dip with Blue Chips
Out of Pocket Bread
Fresh Squeezed Shorts
Portfolio Pate
Crackers with Stock Spread
Correction Casserole served with Baked Biotech Brioche
Barbecued Brisket of Bull Market

And we were such good moms and wives back then:

(Penni to CGB)-my husband said I sound like I have a gambling problem and I wonder if he's right. SO I am NOT going to look at new stuff until I sell some old stuff. And I will no longer get on my hands and knees begging for another few dollars. I need to get more stoic about my investments--I think it shakes him up when I run around with the carving knife pointed at my chest screaming that if usrx drops any more, I'll end it all.

We were full of helpful hints for each other about keeping the family functional as we wasted days online.

(CGB to penni): I was making my child's lunch the other day in a hurry--too much webheading for me lately, because when I got home later I discovered the plastic wrap in the fridge, and the cheddar cheese I'd been using was like a really hard brick in the freezer.

Long time no cooking for me! I have given it up totally for awhile. I just put all the credit cards and the take-out menus in decorative baskets by the telephone so food could be delivered,added a pretty glass bowl with two pounds of gummi bears in the middle of the coffee table for snacking, and went online. I think that was last Wednesday . . .

(penni to CGB) Loved your latest menu ideas! Decorative baskets-Martha Stewart would love it! As all of us domestic goddesses know,it's those tiny, caring details that turn a humdrum fast food meal into a memorable dining experience. Last night we had leftover bratwurst but the creative addition was ice cream served WITH it- not after. The plate just looked so empty with only the bratwurst. Needed some nutritional balance.

This morning I came downstairs and found feathers all over the house which means that somewhere there is a bird corpse. COme to think of it, I haven't seen the cat either. Who won? Instead of vacuuming up the mess, I made coffee and headed for the computer. A HelpfulHousekeeping tip:
Wait for the dead animal to ripen and you won't waste a lot of your precious posting time looking for the body. Or sometimes the cat will find it again and bring it to you, probably hoping that you will serve it for dinner-and, indeed, if you haven't been to the store, you might contemplate creating a little sparrow pate for your loved ones.


Indeed, the more I read these old posts---I get ideassss...
I remember when Janice and I discussed elegant Christmas decorations--
praying Santas and elves hung with lights..
Alexa telling us how to use 20 pounds of strawberries from Costco....
Why we have tips that would have Martha drooling with envy.

If you only whip the batter, make sure you don't upset the pitcher...

I think the Brownies with Cherries are more of a virgin sacrifice dish than a homosexual one. But I like your ideas!!!

Any virgins who want to volunteer for a really good time?
