10 Things Most Americans Don’t Know About America

10 Things Most Americans Don’t Know About America:

'via Blog this'

Why is it so hard for Americans to realize some of this?  There is a part of me that thinks it stems from religion, that we have this "God-given mandate" to rule the world ... WRONG!   Once again, not necessarily a "fun" thing, but something I want to come back to!

So, this is not fun, but it is moving, and it is vital, and it is important.  We judge people all the time, and decide whether someone is deserving or not based on our perceptions.  Here is a man brave enough to say, "You accepted me before, now what?"  I believe his email does give hope to the young LGBT community!

7 BRILLIANT QUOTES

- StumbleUpon:   7 brilliant quotes

'via Blog this'

I am so glad I have this "BLOG THIS" button on my tool bar!  Now I have a fast and easy way to access all my favorite pages, from ANY computer!  I am sure there is a "cloud" way to do it, but with a blog I can share!

I think Shakespeare's and Napoleon's quote have the most meaning for me today.  I am currently in a situation where I believe someone did play with my feelings, and faked a friendship to get closer to my boyfriend.  Having a bit of a guilt attack, she backed out of the friendship with me ... and eventually she will lose her "friendship" with him as well.

We currently are at a point in time when there is so much "wrong" that is shown on news and written about in a variety of media.  But there is much good as well.  We don't see it because those "good people" who have the power to bring it to the forefront, do not.

Gluten-Free Baked Oatmeal Casserole

From the blog:  http://alwaysamrsforeverakidd.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html


 Gluten-Free Baked Oatmeal Casserole
Total Time: 50 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup raspberries {any berries work}
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
2 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ripe banana, peeled, 1/2-inch slices


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and generously spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, half the walnuts, half the strawberries and half the chocolate. (Save the other half of strawberries, walnuts and chocolate for the top of the oatmeal).
In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract.
Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining strawberries, walnuts and chocolate on top. Add the banana slices to the top then pour the milk mixture over everything. Gently shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set. For an extra tasty top, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of extra brown sugar.
