Luciano’s article in the PJStar this morning is about using vegetable oil to run your diesel engine for huge savings in fuel cost. These silly articles make me want to throw up a little in the back of my throat! First of all, there is barely enough used vegetable oil available in local eateries to run maybe a dozen vehicles in the tri-county area. Unless you aren’t really going to drive it anywhere. Oh ... wait ... you can ONLY drive within a few hundred miles of the Peoria area unless you intend to drag a tank wagon full of french fry oil around with you. I suppose you could set up some french fry grease pickup points across the country when you go on vacation? And lets not forget another important point. It is illegal. The EPA won’t approve it and the Dept. of Transportation wants their fuel taxes paid. But it sure does sound like a brilliant idea ... NOT! Who wants to spend all their free time cruising french fry joints collecting barrels of smelly used oil. Think about it. Do you want a barrel of used vegetable oil from Long John Silver’s fish smelling up your garage?

It’s fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said to beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.
Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn’t dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper ... he wanted to stay, but Tom suggested I get dressed and we’d go out instead. Men! Can’t they ever be satisfied?
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway. I can’t say it improved the rice any.
Today Tom asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.
Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I don’t have any clothes that fit it, and for some reason Tom keeps counting to ten.
Tom’s folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius ... I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.
Good Night Dear Diary. This has been a very exciting week! I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with a chocolate moose.
In a conference call with reporters, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson on Friday excoriated MSNBC’s David Shuster for suggesting the Clinton campaign had “pimped out” 27-year old Chelsea by having her place phone calls to celebrities and Democratic Party “superdelegates” on her mother’s behalf.
Hillarity was just recently blathering about how Obama wouldn’t be able to take the heat from GOP attacks and then she goes all righteous about somebody truthfully saying she is using her daughter to broker superdelegates. What a piece of work! Get a guy fired for telling the truth! I’m sure the word “pimped” is at the root of this, but if this is all it takes to upset her she should give it up. Or could it be she is looking for some free publicity? Duh? Why highlight the fact she is pimping her daughter to get superdelegates?
