  5. A man was told by his doctor that he had twenty-four hours to live. His wife, feeling sad, offered to comfort him anyway possible. He indicated that he always enjoyed their active sex life and wanted to know if they could have sex one more time, "of course" she said. A few hours later he asked for the same thing and again she willingly complied. Still later he asked again and she complied. At the fourth request the once dutiful wife explained, "enough sweetheart, please understand that I have to get up in the morning and you, on the other hand, do not!"
  6. I forgot to say that this a tried and true recipe..we really liked it. I like that you can make it in the morning..stick it in the refrigerator and bake it for dinner that night. I made it a couple of days ago...had some leftovers for dinner last night and I still have a little left..there is just the two of us though. I am guessing that it would serve 4 people..depending on how hungry everyone is..it makes quite a bit. It is really good and easy to make. I heated the left overs in the microwave last night since it is so hot here..it worked great to reheating and I am not a big fan of cooking food in the microwave unless it is a potato or just to reheat up leftovers.

Pickled Jalapeno Pepper Juice 2 T. flour 2 cups Evaporated Milk 2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by at least 1 in.; add salt Cook the potatoes over moderate heat until they are tender (about 25 minutes). Drain the potatoes, allow to cool. When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, slice them very thin. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a large baking dish (9x13). Warm the butter and oil in a saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the bell pepper, onions and garlic, and saute them until they are softened. Stir in the pimientos, the Jalapenos, and the Jalapeno liquid. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables; mix it in well. Pour the milk in gradually, stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer briefly until the mixture is thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated Cheddar Cheese; mix well. Alternate layers of potatoes and sauce in the baking dish, ending with some of the sauce. Cover the dish tightly, and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and much of the sauce has been absorbed.
