Habanero Egg Salad

I stirred up a wonderful batch of habanero egg-salad today. My child shared a sore throat, fever, and congestion with me, which we’re just getting over. I thought the spicy egg-salad might help.

Carolina Ghost Tales: Eyes In The Graveyard (repost)

Eyes In The Graveyard
Night had come, and as usual, oil lamps were lit and everyone sat around talking about whatever came to mind. Across from their house was an old graveyard. That’s the view Grandpa’s room had when the door to the outside was opened; and that’s where he liked to sit and enjoy the [...]

KFC Col. Sanders Gets UN Red Carpet Treatment

A faux KFC Col. Sanders got Red Carpet treatment when he showed up at the United States.
Col. Sanders was granted access to restricted areas while visiting.
An embarrassed UN now says it might prosecute or is that persecute? Just get over it and use the incident to improve security protocols.
Oh, and drop by KFC for [...]
