Turkey Day 2007

It's that time of year again to strike down the noble foul known as "Meleagris gallopav" or for the unlearned (like Uncle Albert)....turkey! This year is the same as previous years - we'll all dress in authentic quaker outfits and gather on the front lawn. Next, Glen will release the "Tom" and the adults will strike it down with either small hand clubs or shotguns (depending on who is closer). We've investigated doing some bow hunting and I must admit the act of smoting a turkey with a medieval weapon is something that excites us

Homemaking Tips from Gail

I've been a homemaker for 20 years so I probably know more than you (jk, but seriously):




  • Use the little square plastic fastener from bread bags to hold the masking tape in place, instead of folding the end over.


  • Put your car keys on the pile of outgoing mail in the evening, so you can't forget to take it to the mailbox the next morning.


  • If you soak a pan overnight in 1 part vinegar, 2 parts baking soda and sniff of the king’s brandy you’ll find it’s much easier to clean


  • It is better to regift than to receive, so kings to the person that gave me the bread machine because it’s already on it’s way to a new home! (trickle down economics?)


  • Use woodscraps from your husbands workshop to put on the coals when you barbecue fish or poultry

The Pan Flute Rocks!

Yes its true, i've found the time to take pan flute lessons! It's so easy i'm not sure why i didn't pick it up before. Have you ever been at a family gathering and a spontaneous sing along started? Me too and have you ever wondered...I wish someone here had a musical instrument we could sing along with. I don't have that problem anymore.



I fashioned my pan flute from some bamboo from the island of Cyprus I bought off ebay and had it bound together with corinthian leather. I love making melodious music with dear friends and family! It truly transforms your wind into song ;)



If you've ever wanted to play the pan flute I recommend this site!

We welcome the chance to sit down with each one of you and teach you the secrets to success and thin living. More on these events to follow! Aren’t you sick of being fat AND poor?
