White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Just ran across this on Youtube today. I have good memories of my mom and I watching these good old time movies together at Christmas.

Gratitude at Thanksgiving Time
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jyH0XFhg5Gpum_x-27bmrBrcAOigD9C622900
The above link has an article about gratitude that was good to read today. I think it is great if one can be grateful for all the good in their lives. Lots of times a person can begin to focus on things not going so great, but if instead we focus more on the good things, I know that helps our moods to be much better.
Today's Gratitude:
My life, my family, my friends, my cats, nature, kind people, healthy foods - and in moderate amounts - which is worth mentioning with Thanksgiving almost here, the town I live in, the home I live in, humor, music, interesting people, plays, poetry and the ability to be okay currently physically and emotionally. Lots to be grateful for. Grateful for the beliefs that I have, too.
Take care all and Happy Thanksgiving.

Grocery Store Shopping At Holiday Time
Where I live our stores are not usually crowded too much at all like in big cities. So it is fairly easy to get around in the stores. But today was an exception, being right before Thanksgiving. I felt like I was in a major city again at the grocery store. And that feeling helped me know that I was very happy for our small town atmosphere. So whenever it does get crowded in my town, I just am grateful for all the many other times it is not.

Way Off! Broadway Review in Fort Bragg, CA
I was one of the lucky ones to get invited to a dress rehearsal of this Gloriana Opera production last night called "Way Off! Broadway". What a great job! From the youngest performers to the oldest, they all had great singing voices and good acting skills as well as dancing skills. The costumes were great, too! They sang many famous Broadway Show tunes and Eagles Hall was decorated very nicely for the event, too. It did feel like you were in a little night club in a big city - right here in Fort Bragg. So if anyone runs across this little review and you will be in the area this is a great show to see in our little town. Here is a link to more about it:

Happy Friday the 13th
http://www.farmersalmanac.com/blog/2008/06/09/13-ways-to-improve-your-luck-this-friday-the-13th/
I just read the above article and it had some neat things I didn't even know about yet. Maybe today would be a good day to buy a lottery ticket and win, just to disprove the 13th being unlucky. Do I want to go out in the cold to get the ticket? Hmm? What if a black cat crosses my path on the way? Anyway, Happy Friday the 13th. Maybe it is best to just lay low. :-)

Vegan Sandwich
Today's sandwich: Spread two pieces of Rye Toast with Avocado mixed with some lemon. Then put on some cucumber slices and some tomato slices. Then the Tofu Scramble. Serve with some green olives.
Also, if you want this a bit spicier, I was thinking you could have some cherry peppers with it or even perhaps put hot salsa in the place of the tomatoes. Or even a slice of a red onion.
The Tofu Scramble: Fry up some green peppers, onions and mushrooms and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, all seasonings mix. Then put aside. Then in same pan fry up some tofu cut in little squares. Season the tofu with all seasonings mix, cumin, curry powder and turmeric. You can actually fry the tofu with any spices you like. Actually, I have found that frying tofu up a bit and then adding some Tamari sauce tastes really good, too. Fun to experiment with making different foods. I would say today's sandwich was delicious except for needing a little more spice.
