Charlie's MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
INGREDIENTS:
2-6 Dried red peppers broken in half
1 Tbsp. Peanut oil – or whatever oil you like
4 cans chicken broth
4 cans vegetable broth
1 Tbsp. Garam Masala – available at Indian stores
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Ginger Powder
1 tsp. Tumeric
1 cup chick pea flour
water
4 – 8 sprigs cilantro
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Heat oil in wok then add peppers. Use the 6 only if you like it spicy…like I do! Stir fry for about 20-30 seconds until brown. Add 3 cans of the vegetable broth, 4 cans of the chicken broth, and the Garam Masala, garlic, ginger, and tumeric. Bring to a rolling boil for about 20 minutes, and add the remaining can of vegetable broth, and boil 10 more minutes. Mix water with the flour until it forms a smooth paste. The key is to add the water slowly and keep mixing. The paste will start out like a dough ball, but will gradually thin out. The final consistency should be like Elmer’s glue. Stir this mixture slowly into the boiling soup. The key here is to add it slowly and keep stirring constantly. This will help prevent severe clumping. Add the cilantro and the lemon juice and boil for 20 seconds. Remove from heat and enjoy. This keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a week.

I love this, I got this email today saying my Yahoo account has been suspended ( I don't have one, of course). You would think that someone at "Yahoo" would be smart enough to spell "response" correctly. When you click on the link it goes to this website:
http://marketingservices.yahoo.lvxe.com/loadSignin.htm
Hmmm, nothing suspicious there, I would think it would go to Yahoo.

Every day, I get forwarded emails warning me about all kinds of crazy things. Most are hoaxes, but this one I know is real:
My name is Billy Evans. I am a very sick little boy.
My
mother is typing this for me, because I can't. She is crying. The
reason she is so sad is because I'm so sick. I was born without a body.
It doesn't hurt, except when I try to breathe.
The doctors gave me
an artificial body. It is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The doctors
said that was the best they could do on account of us having no money
or insurance.
I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money. Mommy doesn't work because she said nobody hires crying people. I said, " Don't cry, Mommy and " and she hugged my burlap bag. Mommy always gives me hugs, Even though she's allergic to burlap and it makes her sneeze and chafes her real bad.
I hope you will help me. You can help me if you forward this email to everyone you know. Forward it to people you don't know, too. Dr. Johansen said that for every person you forward this email to, Bill Gates Will team up with AOL and send a nickel to NASA. With that funding, NASA will collect prayers from school children all over America and have the astronauts take them up into space so that the angels can hear them better.
Then they will come back to earth and go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church and send all the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me get better then. Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Right now I can only be third base.
Every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can take more prayers to the angels and my dream will be closer to coming true. Please help me. Mommy is so sad and I want a body. I don't want my leaves to rot before I turn 10.
If you don't forward this email, that's okay. Mommy says you're a mean and heartless bastard who doesn't care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that if you don't stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach, she hopes you die a long slow, horrible death and then burn forever in hell.
What kind of cruel person are you that you can't take five freaking' minutes to forward this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt and shame about ignoring a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy? Please help me.
I try to be happy, but it's hard. I wish I had a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty that wouldn't chew on me and try to bury its turds in the leaves of my burlap body. I wish that very much.
Thank You,
Billy " Smiles " Evans
Let's help poor Billy out, shall we?

Can we bring back English? I know that folks abbreviate a lot of things, I understand, but I would love to see a little bit of real English again.
I got this email today:
wholsale do you provide
I wanted to write back- "English, do you speak?" If this had been a non-English speaking person, no problem, but it was an American. If I did sell wholesale, why would I want to sell to this person?
I find myself slipping in poor English and using poor spelling more and more, can we stop this downward spiral? I have heard people say "OMG" and "LOL" in speaking conversations!!!
By the way (BTW), I refuse to call Radio Shack "the Shack".
On a brighter note, Amy's makes a great roasted vegetable lasagna, I had it for breakfast. It is day four of no Diet Cokes:)
