No recipes for you today, just a St. Patties Day song!

The unicorn song

“A long time ago, when the Earth was green,
There was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen.
And they ran about free while the Earth was being born,
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn.

There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.

The Lord seen some sinning and it caused Him pain.
And He said, ‘Stand back, I’m going to make it rain!’
He said, ‘Hey, Brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do,
Go and build me a floating zoo,’
‘and take some’…….

‘Green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born.
Don’t you forget My unicorns.’

Old Noah was there to answer the call,
He finished up the ark just as the rain started to fall.
Then he marched in the animals two by two,
And he called out as they came through,

‘Hey Lord,’

‘I’ve got your green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn,
I just can’t see no unicorns!’

And Noah looked out through the driving rain,
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin’,
Oh, them silly unicorns!

There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Noah cried, ‘Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can’t wait for those unicorns!’

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide,
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
That’s why you never see unicorns to this very day.

You’ll see some green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,
You’re never gonna see a unicorn!”

P.S. The lyrics above may not be 100% accurate, so you’re better off listening to the song below, but the lyrics are mostly accurate.

On a post at telegram.com, an article was posted called “Piccadilly Pub slams doors”. Restaurants in Worcester, Auburn, Sturbridge, Marlboro and Westboro were shut down with a notice that read:
“Piccadilly Pub Restaurants have temporarily closed. Currently, a date has not been set for a re-opening. We apologize for any inconvenience.

“I’d like to thank each of you for your loyalty through the years and hope that we may have the chance to serve you again in the future.”

My reaction, as well as my dad’s, was just ” wow”. I mean we have been there so many times. Friend get – togethers, family time, or just getting lunch after shopping at Walmart.

Supposedly, the restaurant chain “filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy” and many chains closed yesterday.

I guess there will be no more Thursday night outings! Goodbye Piccadilly pub!

Announcing the all new theme for the all new year! Jacqueline’s Kitchen is now using the Brand New Day theme by Caroline Moore! 🙂

Hi guys!

Sorry I haven’t been posting stuff lately, school has me busy. 😛

Also, I’ve been working on my mom’s blog, called airgarettes.com.

Heres the link. Check it out!

This casserole has a bit of a background story:

Yesterday night, my mom and I were thinking about dinner. I had an idea to make a casserole with cream-of-celery soup, elbows, caramelized onions, bread crumbs, and cheese. However, we did not have the soup. So ours came out a bit different but it was good.

Ingredients:

Breadcrumbs

Onion

“Elbows” pasta

Orzo ( if desired)

Cheese ( if desired) (we used  mozzarella)

Cream- of – celery soup

Process: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook pasta. If the pasta tends to stick together ( which it will) add butter. Then, combine with the soup while its hot. Next, if your breadcrumbs are not seasoned, combine them with onion powder, basil, salt and pepper. If your breadcrumbs ARE seasoned, use those. Use a baking dish and coat it with Crisco ( or another shortening or non-stick-). Put the soup-coated pasta  in the baking dish. Coat with cheese and breadcrumbs on top. Bake untill it bubbles and the cheese is melting. ( For the cheese to brown, turn your oven to BROIL.)

Enjoy!

For the greatest tuna fish salad, this is the recipe:

1. Canned tuna fish

2. Mayonnaise

3. Garlic and onion powder

4. Celery salt

5. Toasted sesame seeds*

Process:

1. Remove the water from the tuna and take out black pieces (if any). Combine with mayo.

2. Sprinkle in the celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder and sesame seeds. Combine and serve.

* If desired

Note:

Most recipes I have do not have measurements. This is because I believe that people should be able to add as much as they like of an ingredient to a dish.

This recipe is the summer recipe I have been doing for a long time. Here it is:

Ingredients:

1. Hershey’s’ chocolate syrup.

2. Milk

3. Whipped cream

Steps: Very easy!

1. Combine the chocolate syrup with the milk. Stir.

2. Add whipped cream on top of it and more chocolate syrup (if desired)

That was the recipe dedicated to summer! Enjoy! 🙂

It turns out there are only two more days of summer….. so in dedication for that, I am putting a new border on this blog soon. Also, I will put up a summer recipe I have been making for a long time.

1. First, shave the corn off of a corn on the cob with a knife.*

2.Wash and drain the corn, making sure of no silk strings. Then, put the corn in a microwave safe bowl.

3. Put a thin slice of salted butter/butter in the bowl and microwave for 12 seconds or more.

4. Add ground black pepper*(2) to the bowl. combine and serve.

*You can also use regular fresh corn.

*(2) Add salt too if you do not have salted butter on the corn.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 dash of basil

1 tomato

Cooked pasta, any kind (as much as desired)

2 scoops of sour cream (or mayonnaise)

Italian Dressing

E.V.O.O. (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Directions:

First, have the pasta ready and well drained. Add the E.V.O.O to the pasta. Then, cut up the tomato into fairly even pieces. Mix that in with the basil. Scoop out the sour cream onto the pasta. Top it off with Italian Dressing. Stir together evenly and serve.*

* If you are not serving it right away, put it in the fridge covered with saran wrap.
