Recipe: Beer Bread

I found this recipe online and we decided to make this and it turned out to be good with soup….

Thought I should share with you guys:

 

Ingredients: 3 cups flour, sifted – key to success! (you can use whole wheat or regular)

3 tsps baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)

1 tsp salt (again, omit if using Self-Rising Flour)

1/4 cup sugar 1 can or bottle of beer (approx. 12 OZ or 341ml)

1/3 cup melted butter (use margerine is you’re a dairy-free kinda kid)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 375F.

2) Mix dry ingredients, then and beer.

3) Pour batter into a greased loaf pan, then pour melted butter over mixture (it’ll swim in it a wee bit)

4) Bake 50-60 min, remove from pan and cool for at least 10 minutes – if you can.

NOTES: Sifting flour for this s a must! Skipping sifting will turn your bread into a brick or weapon of mass destruction. If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. It works, but isn’t as effective as sifting. The final result should be a nice dense, thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A PUCK!

Singapore Airline and Ipod

Singapore Airlines will become the first carrier to offer Apple iPod connectivity to economy passengers when it launches services with new Airbus A330-300s .

I personal think Singapore Airline is the TOP carrier, they have the most friendly service, they are on time, smooth flight, and I’ve never had complain about their carrier.

Many thanks to Singapore to work with Ipod! And yes Apple ROCKS!

Man Kills Wife for Changing Facebook Status to ‘Single’

A man murdered his estranged wife after he became “enraged” that she had changed her marital status to single on the social networking site Facebook.

Edward Richardson, 41, was found guilty of stabbing to death Sarah Richardson, 26, a hairdresser, in her parents’ house in Staffordshire on May 12 last year.

Fiona Cortese of the Crown Prosecution Service said: “Richarsdon became enraged when Sarah changed her marital status on Facebook to single and decided to go and see her as she was not responding to his messages.”

Stafford Crown Court heard that Richardson, a carpenter from Biddulph, Stoke-on-Trent, had sought out Mrs Richardson in her parents house and entered by breaking the front door window.

“Once inside he found Sarah in her bedroom and subjected her to a frenzied and brutal attack with a knife and then attempted to take his own life,” said Ms Cortese.

She said: “We hope that today’s guilty verdict will go some way to easing the pain of Sarah’s friends and family after losing her in such a violent and abrupt way.”

Seven things you should investigate on a first date.

There are certain topics you should avoid on a first date like religion, politics and your ex. But here are 7 things you probably should investigate on a first date in order to save yourself some time and heartache down the road.

#1.) Pet situation: If you’re allergic to cats, and your date has half a dozen of them, you might not be the most compatible couple in the world. That said, the pet situation doesn’t have to be a deal breaker. But it’s definitely something you’re going to want to look into.

#2.) Employment status: I’m not saying you shouldn’t date someone unless they have a job because let’s face it the unemployment rate is ridiculously high right now. What I am saying is that being unemployed can affect a person’s general outlook, and if you’re going to get involved with someone who’s out of work you should have all the info ahead of time.

#3.) Dream vacation: Again, this is not a deal breaker but it can give you some insight into your date and help you determine if you’re compatible. For example, if he wants to go backpacking in Tibet, and you want to go to the White Party in Palm Springs you might not be the most compatible couple.

#4.) Perfect Saturday night: You want to rent a romantic comedy, order Thai take-out and get to bed early. He wants to hit the corner bar, drink martini’s and puke his brains out until 4:00a.m. Do you see how this could be problematic for a new relationship?

#5.) Perfect Sunday afternoon: You want to go to grab brunch with your friends and catch a matinee. He wants to nurse his hangover with two Bloody Mary’s, a half-pound of bacon and sleeping the rest of the day. Again, you see how this could be problematic.

#6.) Romantic aspirations: You probably shouldn’t ask your date about marriage or kids because that’s just weird. But there’s nothing wrong with getting a sense of where your date sees his romantic life in the not-too-distant future. Basically, if you’re looking for a committed relationship and your date has no intention of settling down or vice versa why waste your time? On the other hand, if you’re both just looking for fun, there’s nothing wrong with knowing where you stand right off the bat.

#7.) Kissing style: Anyone who tells you it’s wrong to kiss on a first date is a grade-A moron. Why? Because you can learn all kinds of stuff about a person based on the way they kiss. For example, if your date uses too much tongue or not enough it could be a major turn-off. And wouldn’t you want to know that before you got too invested in the relationship?

Visitors Crash J. Crew’s Web Site (Obama Fashion)

After it was announced the Obama’s children were wearing coats from J. Crew, the crush of visitors crashed their web site. Why do people have to have what others have? I mean, if a neighbor had come home with one of those coats, would it have been any less attractive? Yet, someone in the limelight has it, therefore it is a hot commodity.

It reminds me of an interview with my least favorite celebrity Tom Cruise. Apparently, his little girl Suri is a “fashion icon.” Yep, whatever she wears, parents around the world need to rush out and purchase the same item for their little darlings.
