Hi I'm Angela Grosklags an LCC for Cultural Care. I have a group of au pairs with Cultural Care, but we would like to include all au pairs from the area.

I know she's not looking out for our wastelines, but this looks good.This is Paula Dean's recipe, as found on the Food Network Web site.

Recent Blog PostsMore Trash or Creating TreasuresMay 1, 2008 - 7:04am — Cre8tivegangBefore you visit garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, antique malls, estate sales and auctions for pieces to transform, clear out your own spaces to see what you can discover. The key to creating treasure from trash is to look at things in a different light and be open to possibilities. Remember, most wobbly furniture can be strengthened with glue, dings can be covered up and stains can be cut out. You don't need a huge budget for a creative dramatic change. Your furniture may not be glamorous, but it's functional -- you may not need to buy a new table or desk. Kids First Garage SaleApril 29, 2008 - 1:42am — Angela GrosklagsKids First Garage Sale I drink your milkshake!April 28, 2008 - 10:32am — Lori CarlsonI finally got to see "There Will Be Blood" this weekend. Best movie I've seen in a long, long, long, long time. It's the kind of movie that doesn't get made much anymore - great acting, original storyline, fantastic cinematography, well-placed but not overdone musical score, etc. Daniel Day-Lewis tops even himself in this one. A must-see, an instant classic. Oh, and I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! (My husband got really tired of hearing me repeat this phrase dramatically over the weekend).
ExpelledApril 25, 2008 - 9:23am — Savage GuyI saw the movie "Expelled" last night. Ben Stein and the others making the movie did a masterful job of shedding light on the fact that when it comes to science education in the USA, all speech is not created (or treated) equal. The theory of evolution is now taught as fact across the land in spite of glaring holes in the theory that very smart, well educated scientists have exposed. However, if a scientist or professor dares to suggest that intelligent design should at least be part of the discussion in classrooms, the movie shows that move to be deadly to one's career. The art of self-promotion. Does it work?April 24, 2008 - 3:26pm — sfieckeIf any group of people is more self-promoting than chiropractors, real estate agents and multi-level marketers, it's got to be musicians. Recent Forum PostsA little snippy ...May 8, 2008 - 1:32pm — love42peaceThis is for Shawn, I am glad to hear you say thank you for your extra money for what ever. I find it rude that you are not happy about it. Me personally I would have been able to do a lot with my rebate, especially for my family. I am lucky enough to pay taxes yet do not qualify for the rebate. I was $132 dollars shy of receiving a rebate. So I would like to say Thank You for being unappreciative for something that not everyone has. Be happy you get the rebate. You must realize that prices can not nor will ever stay the same, get over it. Cinco de Mayo: What's your favorite Mexican dish?May 5, 2008 - 5:18pm — Shawn HogendorfWhat are your favorite Mexican dishes? I have to go with my long-time favorites, tamales, carnitas, guacamole and Acapulco-style ceviche. I am lucky to live in the West Side of St. Paul where Cinco de Mayo celebrations have been going on all weekend. On any normal day, I'm a 15 minute walk from El Burito Mercado, my favorite spot on the West Side and La Esperanza, which is a close second. What's your opinion of the "economic stimulation package"?May 2, 2008 - 1:06pm — Shawn HogendorfHere's a link to an Associated Press article that ran on the Star Tribune today. www.startribune.com/politics/18489069.html Bush says economy is going to "come on" due to the checks. What do you think? Is it going to improve the economy? Is it too little too late? What do you think about the Vikings' draft?April 28, 2008 - 4:31pm — Shawn HogendorfWhat do you think of the Vikings' draft? In the grand scheme of things, I think it was a good one. Sure the Vikings drafted the fewest number of players in the team's draft-day history, but word on the street is that we didn't need any new blood, after trading for Bernard Berrian and Jared Allen before the draft. The Vikings basically drafted a backup safety, a third-string quarterback, a defensive tackle, a backup center and a punt returner, but I'm fine with that. What do you think? What does Earth Day mean to you?April 22, 2008 - 10:38am — Joanna MillerDo you do anything special for Earth Day? Is every day Earth Day at your house? |
