With all the zucchini around these days this sounds like a terrific recipe. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to real soon. I make a lot of frittatas with zucchini, which is similar to this one, except for the corn mix. Would be a wonderful breakfast or luncheon dish with a side salad! Yum!!

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to se

I, also, love Barbados!! Great restaurants and terrific people. I honestly can't say the people are stuffy, just more mannerly than most other islanders. That probably comes from the fact that most are very educated. But, family life is important, too. I used to work for a hotel there and got to get around quite a bit. Can't say enough about the place. In fact, I think that's

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a £30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that he

Dear Lord, when is this all going to stop? Not until gov't authorities do something about it. More police presence.....even drive-bys in the neighborhoods during the night. Police presence is a deterrent. At this rate SXM is going to be hurting financially, which could cause more crime. The never ending circle. However, with more policing, crime could be curbed. This is putting a cramp

Looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Cadillac doing 65 mph with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner. I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup. As a man, I don't scare easily. But she scared me so much; I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut
