I met an old man this past weekend that was 84 and still riding, not as much as he used to but still riding just the same. What an inspiration this ‘old scooter tramp’ was to me. Here he has been through WWII, lost two good women (as he put it) and too many friends but is still putting around. We sat and talked for hours about all he had seen and done in his life.
He had beat drug addictions, had lived hard and lived good too. He is a man of honor that takes pride in the fact that he took care of his family and his old faithful Harley. He admitted he had riden other bikes but they just weren’t same. He didn’t need to say anymore because I knew what he was talking about. You gotta love those old ‘Scooter Tramps’. I can only hope and pray that I’m still riding when I’m in my 60′s, much less my 80′s.

My BFF was telling me of a new recipe that she tried last night that her whole family enjoyed and how thrilled she was that she finally found something that pleased everyone, since they all seem to be such picky and finicky eaters these days. I was happy to share in her excitement until she told me that this new recipe was called Spaghetti Pie I’m sorry but spaghetti pie just sounds wrong, but if they like it – more power to them.
She ended up sending me the recipe so that I could see what all it takes to make this spaghetti pie and after reading it I have to say that it does sound like it would taste good, so I think I’ll get all the ingredients that I don’t have here in my pantry or refrigerator already next time I go to the grocery store. It calls for mozzarella cheese and just about anything that has mozzarella cheese in it can’t be all bad. My favorite brand of cheese is Sargento and they seem to always be coming up with a new cheese for me to try, so far I’ve been pleased with all 36 varieties.
The local grocery stores sometimes publish little magazines with information about food. My favorite store magazine if published by Raley’s, out West. Great magazine with beautiful color photographs, complete recipes and even information on what aisle the ingredients are on so you can buy them from Raley’s.
But locally we have some publications, too. The one from Publix has a recipe for “Cheese and Spinach Pie” that looks really good. I know hubby isn’t going to like it, but since he isn’t eating much of what I cook lately anyway, I think I’ll make this recipe and enjoy it myself.
I have had my new cell phone for over a month now and it is still puzzling me in so many ways. The instruction book that came along with it has been such little help that it makes me wonder why they even bother to print up the darn things. I keep going over and over the various options and settings to little or no avail. I miss my old phone.
