PINE DREAMS
My blog is a virtual campground in a virtual forest. I will have posts on my life in the mountains and also articles of all kinds. I intend to support animal rights and saving our forests. There will be a lot to do: games, polls, recipes, quizzes, jokes, memes, and even more.

One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!!'
His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded.
The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. 'What the Hell is this??' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out.
'April,' he hollered into the bathroom, 'Why did you put talcum powder in myunderwear?'
She replied with a snicker... 'It's not talcum powder......It's 'Miracle Grow'.'

WEEKLY LESSON:
THIS WEEK I AM POSTING A POEM TO INTRODUCE YOU TO WHAT MY LESSONS ARE ABOUT; MAINLY EARTH MEDICINE AND EARTH SPIRITUALITY. SO HERE IS THE POEM:
LOOK TO THE EARTH by Kenneth Meadows
Look to the Earth
And to the skies
The Sun, the Moon, and to the Stars
You who would be wise.
For they contain the full measure of man
The height, and breadth, the depth, the span
Of his entirety.
Look to the Earth
And to the skies
And watch them turn
Like pages in a holy book
But one untouched by human hand
You who would be wise.
Look to the Earth
And to the skies
For in that which can be seen Without
Can true knowledge come
Of unseen mysteries that lie within
To you who would be wise.
Look to the Earth
And to the skies
In Spring and Summer
Winter and in the Fall.
Watch life begin, unfold, then fade and die
To rise anew
Time and again for Time Untold
You who would be wise.
Look to the Earth
And to the skies
And in your looking, learn this mystery:
That you who look to the Earth
And to the skies
Shall be given eyes to see
Shall be given eyes
To make you wise
Eternally.

CHUCKWAGON...COME AND GET IT!!
ULTIMATE CHICKEN FINGERS AND DINNER
My family loves this dinner...TRY IT!!!
CHICKEN FINGERS
INGREDIENTS:
3 (or more) skinless chicken breast halves (I use breasts with skin still on).
Cut the breasts crosswise into 1/2" strips. If you use more than three breasts, you will have to adjust the breading to accomodate the extra chicken.
BREADING: (I usually just double these ingredients for the extra chicken.)
2/3 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp paprika
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 TBS butter or margarine, melted
HEAT oven to 450 degrees Farenheit. Line a cookie sheet with foil, then spray with cooking oil spray. Either get a large ziplock bag or a large bowl. Mix the Bisquick, cheese, salt, and paprika in the bag or the bowl.
DIP a few chicken fingers in the egg, put these strips into the ziplock bag (shake to coat) or bowl (roll the strips to coat them). Place the chicken on the cookie sheet. Repeat until all the chicken is on the cookie sheet. Then drizzle the melted butter over the chicken fingers.
BAKE 15 to 30 mins, turning the chicken over once during baking, carefully so the coating stays on.
WHILE the chicken is baking, make a salad:
lettuce cucumber
tomatos onion
avocados any other salad ingredient you wish
PEPPERCORN ranch dressing
Now to top it all off and make the dinner "ultimate," put a cup of fruit at everyone's place at the table. You can use mixed fruit from the can or fruit cups from Dole.
This is an awesome meal and we have it frequently. Another idea is to cut the chicken into large bite-size pieces, coat with Bisquick, bake.
When chicken is done baking, let it cool a little, then put directly into the salad.
