But What Happened The "P?"

Awhile ago a friend gave a gift of 3 sample bottles of Jameson that she bought during a trip to Ireland. I had the final one this evening to celebrate finishing taxes. I have decided it is impossible to spell Crested Ten without the letter "o" as in smooth. Or maybe it should be smth because Jameson used all the O's.

Thanks H!!

50 years ago today, President Kennedy created a program that changed my life in ways that still amaze me. 24 years ago, I entered into that program and served in Thailand as a member of the United States Peace Corps. I would also like to thank all those who have served, are serving, and will serve in the armed forces. They are the ones whose sacrifices allowed me to serve in the manner I did. I left the Peace Corps smarter, more resourceful, more confident, and goal oriented than when I entered. Along the way, I helped a village do the same. It was a phenomenal experience with emotional highs and lows. Serious highs and lows. Although I left wondering if I had made a difference, when I visited 5 years later I realized that I did. I also realize the difference they made in me. It really is "The toughest job I'll ever love."

In other news, there have been requests for the "cod with chorizo" recipe, so here is the link: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/baked_cod_with_chorizo_white_beans.html

Happy Noshing!
