Dale's Merit to Wine



For those who wish to have a glass of wine.. and those who don't...this is something to think about.
As Benjamin Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E.coli) - bacteria found in feces.
In other words, we would be consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

HONEY

When looking for a healthy sweetener, honey is the best choice. One of the Bible's healing foods, honey, when eaten in its raw and unheated form, retains a storehouse of naturally occurring enzymes and bee pollen.

MIJO'S MEATLOAF By Pappa Mickey Strauss

2# hamburger
1 tsp onion salt, dehydrated onions or a finely diced onion
1 tsp celery salt or finely diced celery stalk (2 or 3)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 & 1/2 c. bread crumbs (about 5 slices of whole wheat bread lightly toasted), moistened with 2 eggs
1/2 c. ketchup or 1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce(added to meatloaf mixture)

Combine ingredients in large mixing bowl. Roll and mix together (like a toss) until no bread shows through. Knock air out of the meat loaf by shaping on a cutting board (or wax paper) and dipping hands into cold water and smoothing over the top of loaf; repeat shape, turn meat dip hands and smooth meat in loaf shape.
Place loaf in a roaster or pan on a rack and fill with water almost topping meat loaf. Cook on top of stove, medium heat, covered for 1 hour and 15 minutes. This reduces cholesterol.

Pour off water and grease. Top off meatloaf with tomato sauce or plain if using a brown gravy. Great with mashed potaoes and green beans.

Another idea, pour a jar of Prego over your meatloaf (Vegetable chunks is a good one) and serve with spaghetti noodles, Italian green beans or Mexi-corn, or salad with green peppers slices and cucumbers.
