Hello There People ~~ I hope that all is well with you
and your families. And for those who are ill, may things
improve very soon. I wish you all health and happiness.

My good friend, Granny, is having trouble with her blog
being down – temporarily – we hope. Her husband Ray is
back in hospital after only 2 days at home. Prayers and
positive thoughts and wishes will be appreciated.
Comments can be left on her blog which is showing at
22nd June. She lost several posts after that. Thinking of
you Ann and hope all will be well with Ray as well as your blog.

<><><> RECIPE for PASTA SALAD <><><>
This is a favorite of mine, especially during Summer.
Preparatiom ~~ 20 minutes
Cooking ~~ 10 minutes. Serves 4 (at least)
2 ½ cups (225g / 7ozs) pasta spirals. Bring a large pan
of salted water to boil, add pasta and cook for 10 mins.
Drain and rinse under cold water and place in large bowl.
Add the following: 150g (5 oz) cherry tomatos halved
1 red or green capsicum cubed, 3 spring onions (shallots)
sliced. 100g (3 ½ oz) button mushrooms if liked.
Half a barbecued chicken shredded, Half cup cooked peas
¾ cup of whole egg mayonnaise – or whatever mayonnaise
you like. Mix all together well. Can use less capsicum.
<><><><> A tip – I use a small can of peas and corn in
this , also other salads, and in quiches. <><><><>

Some of the older jokes seen popular ……
A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new
rooster for his chickrn coop. The new rooster struts
over to the old rooster and says… “OK old fart, time
for you to retire.”
The old rooster replies, “Come on, surely you cannot
handle ALL those chickens. Look what it has done to
me. Can’t you just let me have the two old hens over
in the corner?”
The young rooster says, “Beat it; you are washed up
and I am taking over.”
The old rooster says, “ I tell you what, young stud, I
will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets
the entire chicken coop.”
The young rooster laughs, “You know you don’t stand a
chance, old man. So just to be fair, I will give you a
head start.”
The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds
later the young rooster takes off running after him.
They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the
young rooster has closed the gap.
He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining
fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot
on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by.
He grabs his shotgun and – BOOM – he blows the young
rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and
says, “Darn…. third gay rooster I bought this month.”
Moral of this story……
Don’t mess with us old farts – age, skill, and treachery
will always overcome youth and arrogance !!
<><><><> The cost of a good woman. <><><><>
God called Adam aside one day and said, “I’ve been
pondering the best way to expand on the species of man,
I think procreation is the way to go so before creating
a mate for you I thought I’d give you some options.
How would you like a mate who would slways do as she was
asked to with loving good grace, prepare delicious meals for
you, keep your home in immaculate condition, bear you sons
and daughters and bring them up as offspring that you would
be proud of, and at the same time be always willing
to satisfy your male needs.”
“Wow God,” said Adam “that sounds really great, how much
would a mate like that cost?”
“Well,” said God, “that’s one thing about her, she would be
expensive, probably an arm and a leg.”
“Gee God” said Adam, “what could I get for a rib?”
<><><> Goodnight, good morning or whatever. <><><>

One of the best things about reading recipes from elsewhere than the USA is googling the ingredients. Salad sounds yummy.

Yummmmmy sounding salad and I will certainly give it a try. I love to cook and bake and love nothing better than to try new recipes!! Loved all the jokes too and they had me laughing...love your blog, Merle, such a happy one to read:-) Have a wonderful day!!
Loved your jokes and this time I googled
capsicum! I didn't read through all of them, but it looks like it's spicy pepper (is that the same as cayenne?)
My thoughts and prayers are with Ann and Ray.
The pasta salad sounds wonderful.
The jokes were funny!
Have a wonderful day.
