(ok I did have some help but minor help) I love to cook and love to try new things so here is a tour of my thanksgiving menu. It started with a clean kitchen.... then cooking happened... I was all ready with my list and recipes.... So lets start with the Turkey! First I brined it- I brined it in some really fun things: Orange zest, Lemon juice, cinnamon, rosemary, mace, ginger and pineapple peels. Yeah mom told me to find a recipe so I look at a few and said yeah I can put whatever in so that's what I did! I came up with it, it turned out good.... thank goodness! I brined it over night! Then stuck it in a turkey bag Then I cooked it for like 4 hours Then we feasted on it! I also made Sweet P

The other day, whilst using my time very wisely </sarcasm>, I came across this on my Facebook feed: This fills me with indescribable anger. I know it was meant in humor, but that makes it all the worse. You see, humor breaks down the walls of propriety. Makes it acceptable to suggest genocide. According to snopes ( http://www.snopes.com/rumors/naked.asp  ), this has been floating around for a decade now, but this is the first time I've seen it. To begin with, it's not ok to say that all Muslims are terrorists. Here, have some math: Perhaps my real problem with this is that it's become an intrinsic part of society.  In WW1, media told us the enemy was the Nazis. So we hated Germans. In WW2, they told us to the enemy was the Axis powers. So we hated Germans and Japanese.  In the Cold War, they told us to the enemy was Communism. So we hated the Russians.  Now they tell us to hate the terrorists. So, like the good citizens we are, we extend our h

8 random facts about me...  1. I can never sit still, like when I broke my ankle I read 100 books so I wouldn't be just sitting there 2. My middle name is Joule, like the measurement of energy (I love nerdy parents) 3. I don't think marching band is a sport, don't hate me, I think that is hard work and that it shares many similar traits sports but you don't have the one on one competition that you have in sports, I still LOVE band (and basketball and tennis) 4. I procrastinate like crazy, I work best under last minute so I don't go to perfectionist on it and I hate doing homework at home 5. When typing or writing I tend to leave out words or just skip phrases so if something in this is wrong sorry, I also can't spell to save my life 6. My favorite part of anything is that I can get better, I love the fact that I can practice and work to get better   7. I love quotes, a lot 8. I'm almost 6 foot and love being tall So ther

Never Fall Down By Patricia McCormick I am president of my schools book club and this book is a Georgia Peach Award Winner so I decided to read it. Back cover so I don't have to summarize for you: When soldiers arrive at his hometown in Cambodia, Arn is just a kid, dancing to rock 'n' roll, hustling for spare change, and selling ice cream with his brother. But after the soldiers march the entire population into the countryside, his life is changed forever. Arn is separated from his family and assigned to a labor camp: working in the rice paddies under a blazing sun, he sees the other children, weak from hunger, malaria, or sheer exhaustion, dying before his eyes. He sees prisoners marched to a nearby mango grove, never to return. And he learns to be invisible to the sadistic Khmer Rouge, who can give or take away life on a whim. One day, the soldiers ask if any of the kids can play an instrument. Arn's never played a note in his life, but he volunteers. In
