Well, let me think. Artichokes do have a taste all their own, but if I was to try and break it down it tastes a bit like asparagus, broccoli, and/or green beans. It has a richer , and perhaps not such a "green" taste. One part of the artichokes you can enjoy are artichoke hearts. They come in...

A woodworker named Barry called his boss one morning and said, "I'm sorry Boss, but I won't be coming to work today. I've got a headache, a stomach ache, and my legs hurt something awful. I just can't make it in." The Boss begins to wheedle Barry, "I really need you today, Barry! You know, when...

A logging company was in the market for a new lumberjack, and who should apply but a short skinny little fellow who looked like he couldn't even pick up an axe. The manager told him told him he wouldn't hire him. "Just give me a chance," Shorty pleaded. "Well, alright," sighed the manager. "Go...

You're totally right. We got to see alot of celebrities in less than flattering circumstances: drunk, angry, fighting with spouses... there wasn't any kind of tabloid that was looking for dirt back then. I can't imagine how much money is made today by the squealers...!

A new helper was hired at the wood shop and was duly sent out in the morning for coffee. He held up the thermos for the waitress to see. "Will this hold six cups?" "Sure", says the waitress. "Good," the helper replied. "Give me two black, one with cream , and three with cream and sugar."

We like to boil up a few giant artichokes in the kitchen, and we'll sit out on the porch and eat them with melted butter as the sun goes down. A very chilled white wine hits the spot.

Yes, no one picked up Sinatra and Eva's little romance in the gossip magazines of the time. Palm Springs, at least then, was very tight-lipped about celebrities' doings; that's one reason so many of them came there.

Tommy is working on a steep roof and loses his balance. He starts to slide down, out of control. "Help me, God!" Tommy shrieks. Suddenly, a large nail catches on his overalls, and Tommy stops short of falling off the the roof! He sighs with relief. "Never mind, God. A nail got me!"

Everyone has a different opinion about everything. Spin has always been with us, you can't avoid it. The point is to know which side is spin, and which is not.

His boss sent Stanley to the lumberyard. He told the yardman "I need twenty 4x2s." "I guess you mean 2x4s," the yardman chuckled. "How long do you want them?" "I don't know for sure, but it should be for some time, we're building a garage."

My condolences, Katharina. My prayers go with your aunt, and to you. When I make potato salad, I make enough for an army so it will last awhile. That's a major project, and I hope you didn't tackle that much today. Your daughter's pie sounds heavenly. I'm hoping you and your family can have a...

A woodworker named Susan was giving evidence in court regarding an accident he'd witnessed. The judge inquired as to how far away she'd been from the accident. She answered, "twenty five feet, nine and one half inches." The judge asked, "How can you possibly know the exact distance?" "Well,"...

I have read that after quitting smoking, the lungs revert to their healthy state in just a few years (that is, if you haven't developed emphysema or tumors). I would think that hydrating yourself sufficiently would probably help to "clean" your lungs in as quick a way as possible.

Groan away, Katharina... Jones' friend and foreman had died in his sleep. Jones had depended on his foreman for advise on wood workiing implicitly, and considered him his closest friend. It was understandable that Jones did not take kindly to all the droves of opportunists at work to try and...

Uncle Pete happened to get fired from his construction job. His nephew asked him how it happened. "Do you know what a foreman is?" Uncle Pete asked. "Sure," replied his nephew. "The foreman is the one who stands around and watches everyone else work. What's that got to do with your getting...

A construction worker died in his sleep. As he neared the Pearly Gates, he saw St Peter. St Peter approached and greeted him."Congratulations! You are the oldest person ever to arrive in Heaven." The worker was confused. "There must be some kind of mistake. I'm only forty years old."...

I think that Leonardo DiCaprio is an good actor, but I don't know about him carrying off Frank Sinatra! Can Leo sing? I don't know. BTW, when we worked in Palm Springs in the 70s, we got to meet Sinatra when he came into the supper club that was attached to the hotel. He was very polite and...

I didn't butter it, but that's a good idea. I served it in squares (a few minutes out of the oven. The book said that was when it was best, so I baked it there. I got a good portion of raves from the adults. Nearly all my middle school kids asked "What was the green stuff?" and when I told them...

I have seen a couple of trailers online for the Harry Potter movie. Has anyone seen them in the theatre yet?
