Happy Birthday Josh! :-) Here's a super easy, delicious cake recipe for your special day. My sister (literally) made it, cooked it and ate in 5 minutes.
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) & vanilla, & mix again. Put your mug in the microwave & cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, & tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!
Yeah - but you need to have all those things that I don't have like flour and sugar and baking cocoa, and eggs and milk and oil and chocolate chips and vanilla.
I do, however, have a mug. Any recipe for making a chololate cake out of ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, diet pepsi and salsa?
Rush Limbaugh just broke a story. Obama is proposing a per head tax on super collider monkeys. There goes any further R&D on smashed super collider monkey parts.
Happy Birthday Josh! I think you're in my house right now, while I'm here in Fremont. There's beer in the fridge and bagels and cream cheese I think - oh and toaster waffles and chicken nuggets in the freezer. Enjoy!
Last night the girls were talking about "The birthday with meat and no cake."
They each knew what the other was talking about, but I had no idea! Emma told me there were cousins there, Mary and Mike, Caitlin, Cathy and Steve. I asked whose birthday it was, she said, "I don't know, it could be anybody's."
I finally figured out they were talking about Doc Eagan's birthday which had all sorts of bar-b-q and we saw no cake.
Ha! The birthday with meat and no cake - whose birthday, it could be anybody's. I laughed all the way home.
Lisa...the cake came out after you left...a very tiny caramely/chocolate cake with exploding candles...Stevo had a piece (tiny piece) The Egan's don't uaually serve cake, I was surprised.
I equate McCain's phony outrage over the lipstick comment with the phony outrage that often emminates from the minority "community" over similiarly benign statements.
It's all tiresome.
Reports say the super collider monkeys have revolted and taken over the super collider. They have put their nemisis enemies, the ultra cyborg baboons, in the collider and have dialed the collider up to puree. This has burned out the collider and Hamilton Beach will not honor the extended warranty due to misuse.
Happy Birthday Josh! If I had time I would make you a Rice Krispie cake but there will be a nice big white birthday cake for you at the wedding reception.
Just in case anyone didn't get the message: eats and drinks at our house on Friday night for whoever's in town, starting around 6:30.
Joe2, Joe3 and Mary Ellan~ Say...have you ever noticed/read the Kossuth County Dining Guide? I'm trying to discern whether or not having an ad in it is worth the $$$...it ain't cheap.
Keeping in mind, that we have begun an advertising compaign where we will be in The Reminder...almost weekly. I'm just not so sure that the good people of Algona really read it and/or reference it for dining options. Please, weigh in. :-)
People wait eagerly for the Reminder to come out on Tuesdays...It's more "read" than the paper, that's why it's more expensive to advertise (we also advertise in it every week)... I really like your 4 stacked ads you are currently running. We are not the right people to ask about the dining guide, we always go to Sarah's!! But, I do think you would want to be in it, for the un-informed. I heard this morning that Larry at Primetime is gonna start doing late night pizza!
Sister Sarah...I'm looking thru the REMINDER and can't find the dining guide...is it something new? I don't ever use that other guide "the professional directory"...maybe you don't need to do it.
Hmm...yah, it's hard to know about The Dining Guide. It's 10,000 (Kossuth County)copies distributed at Hotels/Gas Stations and in the Reminder. I can't help to think that perhaps the Hotel people look at it...but, unless they're staying in Algona or nearby...they won't come out because of it. The Gas Stations and Reminder...I wonder if it's something that most people either don't take or just throw out. This morning, I asked a couple Algona friends and I'm waiting for their input as well. Thanks...I designed the stacked ads and am really happy how they turned out. We've had good feedback. Next month, we'll keep the KIDS and HAPPY HOUR ads and replace the all-you-can-eat with a different meal choice and the TEACHERS will be replaced with something corny like "voters" or "Libra's" or "football fans"...EAT FREE. Thanks! :-) Re: Pizza. I've been suggesting to Tom that it would be cool to add a specialty pizza to our app menu...something yummy like chicken/artichoke/pesto blah, blah, blah. I don't think we could ever do "late-night." I wonder if Larry's doin' like Tombstone's in a pizza oven? Hmm.
Please tell me why it matters that nascar driver Hornaday has admitted using performance enhancing drugs...it's not like he's running with the car around his waist (alaFred Flintstone)?
Because he has super collider monkeys under the hood powering his car. They are the ones using performance enhancing drugs. It's true. I read it on the internet.
My new assignment is Carrabba's Italian Grill. I've never worked Casual Dining Restaurant category before. If they provide us with any staggering consumer insights I will share will SS. I'm sure I'll get a stack of paper with a bunch of stuff Tom and Nance already know.
WHO'S EXCITED FOR ELLEN'S WEDDING THIS WEEKEND??? I'M RAISING THE PROVERBIAL ROOF RIGHT NOW.
I'm still trying to decide what kind of wedding guest I'm going to be. Should I be the guy who tries to impress his girlfriend by dancing with a toddler's feet on mine, or should I be the guy who lifts of bottle of wine from the caterer and then takes a swing at a bus boy when accused? I'm not quite sure. I'll get back to you on that. Like the Magic 8 ball says: to early to tell.
I have a question to raise about the wedding song poll. I voted for Celtic Symphony and now it has no votes and Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (which is the opposite of marriage) has 4. How did that happen?
Yeah, looks like Lisa's research has produced more results than I can expect from this stack of graphs. The only mention of this roof top planting thing is that it's an Italian Roof Garden. That's it, yet it's the only notable thing mentioned by passersby.
This is what I don't like about advertising. Clients expect it to be a science when it all comes down to "what do people like?" Gardens and food.
Nance, screw the dining guide. Make the pizza. A really great pizza beats a really great ad.
Unless you're going to do a coupon in the dining guide I'm not sure if I would spend the money. Here's my learning on this stuff. A one shot ad will do you little good unless it has shelf life. What does this dining guide look like? Is it something that looks good enough for people to leave out and reference - or does it look like something people would rather throw away? On the other hand, coupons or other actionable things are good for one shot ads.
Consistent one advertising like in the UDM are great (as you already know).
Beyond that I would spend my money on more Cheetos. The Cheeto is your rooftop garden.
Celtic Symphony HAS one vote. That must be yours. Pleople can chage their vote any time so if there were more Celtic Symphony votes befoe that person or persons may have changed their mind.
Again - there is no tampering with the polls by the administrators.
Des...great information! Yes, we were thinking that if we do the Dining Guide we should have it be a coupon and your input has just finalized it for me. Thank you! Front page...with a coupon...if we do it at all. It is a small guide that would be readily tossed...I certainly would. I have to decide by Monday morning if we're gonna secure the front page...alongside Prime Time...which has a misspellin'...but, I ain't tellin'...no one, no how. :-)
NOTICE TO WEDDING GUESTS: Joe3 was out of town today and called to ask me to put this message on the blog. He has an extra room at the Doubletree Inn in Omaha which he will cancel early tomorrow (Friday) unless one of you needs it. Please call me or Joe before 10:00 pm tonight (Thursday) if you need the room. We will be at dinner but will return about 9:00PM and his cell # is 515 320 0420. Dad
I'm thinking about pulling out the always popular khaki suit guy (with pants that are a bit too snug). Antics might include twirling the groom's sister around and nearly passing out after hitting your head on a hand dryer.
Other favorites include the Garter Guy: he who catches the garter and freaks out his girlfriend all night long with speculation and touching.
There's also "smoke a joint with the DJ" guy. "Get rowdy and nearly be killed at a town-y bar" guy. There's "tuck your girlfriend in and attend the party down the hall" guy. Still haven't decided.
Since I am bringing a guest, there are a closet full of wedding characters I won't be dusting off for this one. I'd like to leave them where they are, under a pile of forgettable dirty laundry soon to be donated to the Salvation Army.
I think you should show up as John Travolta wannabe guy and if you get drunk and get in a fight you could do it like West Side Story. Snap, snap, snap....so cool.
There's "over tip the cute bartender guy." He's the lonely, desperate guy who hangs at the bar and decides the bartender is his own marriage material. When she leaves without saying good bye after he felt they made a "connection" be becomes even more sullen and bitter. Perhaps starts a fight with his dashing, successful cousin.
We do need a Chuck Behr guy at these things. A person who quickly sheds his coat and tie. Drinks too much. Embarasses his wife. Quickly knows everyone in the room. Dances till he's soaking wet and is respectfully amiable. I nominate Randy.
We know everyone wants to stay close to the reception... but we do have a guest room which is in use tonight but will be vacant this weekend... and we can put the girls in with us and there would be a big room with two double beds available.
No one wants to stay with us! Is it us or is it the lack of cable TV?
I loved when he put his fingertip on the top of her head and she twirled around. He was Napoleon Dynamite.
Thanks everyone - I feel like I just didn't get around and talk to everybody like a good hostess (self-indulgently dancing with my sisters all night instead while Stevo played host) but it was a fun night, wasn't it? Andy was beautiful and Ellen was so handsome. They'll be in San Francisco by 2:30 this afternoon, poor things. I actually have a blister on my heel. It hurts so good.
What a GREAT WEDDING!!! I loved Ellen's dress and the bridesmaid's dresses, as well, and the hall was very classy and great food and dancing was so fun... Thanks Jayjacks. Kelli was wondering if anyone has a photo of Betty in her beautiful dress...
Did anyone catch the clip of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin - it was on SNL Saturday night but they've been showing it during the morning news today. Really good.
I offered to babysit for Emily. I wanna get to a game for Joe4's senior year...but, it doesn't have to be homecoming. :-) Eli sprained his ankle at football on Saturday and Liam developed a booty/leg rash w/ a secondary infection from wearing rain soaked/polyester/tight football pants for 4 hours! Good grief. :-<> Donny was all excited to talk about his first dance with a girl when they were here on Sunday...too cute. :-)
Whatever happened to the good old days when a company's senior management would jump off tall buildings when the company failed? Instead they walk away with 10s of millions of dollars.
Thanks for JOsh's bday wishes. He doesn't check the blog, as he doesn't have a work computer and I usurp ours. The wedding was enormous fun! Donny was hilarious. Now I'm at Mom and Dad's - and Curly Girl's - house. Good dog, and no accidents yet. It feels like I've been away from home for ages...and I don't leave til Saturday. I suppose it's been 11 days and 3000 miles which is a while. p
Curly girl is sooo cool...she gives a little bark to go outside, sits in Mom's chair with her and watches TV, and this morning was curled up under a blanket with Mom in bed, just her head sticking out.
ED...I just read theat the Fed has asked JP MORGAN CHASE to loan $75 Billion to AIG...What are you going to do?? If Buffett's not getting involved maybe you shouldn't...pray tell what does the Oracle of Racine have to say???
Yes the food was amazing. And the dancing and the decorations. I'm interested in seeing the family photo....to see if the photographer actually managed to get everyone in there. p
In the defense of school...spaghetti was served *after* photos. However, it was still "dress-up" day. I dunno...perhaps, a grilled cheese? Liam successfully wore his tangerine golf shirt throughout lunch and came away clean...way to go Liam! :-)
Thank you, Kelli, for thinking about my babysitter request and thanks to Nance for volunteering to help me out!
Why didn't I know that Joe Jayjack could do the Footloose dance? Joe K and I were at the bar when the song came on and he said , "Come on, I want to watch Joe and Ellen do the whole footloose routine." I had no idea. Unfortunately, Ellen wasn't on the dance floor at the time, but I enjoyed watching Joe. What other little hidden talents do you have Joe J?
Hey Ed- Jim Cramer, the Mad Money guy, said that JP is the best bank right now. I guess best in terms of safety and stability. Also, I recently recieved a notice that JP bought my mortgage.
Tonight is the Garrigan Homecoming coronation...it will be broadcast on KLGA, so I think that means it's on the internet...starts at 7:30...Good Luck to Joe4!
I tried to find some pre-homecomming stuff in the algona upper des moines - hoping they would have info on the candidates, but no luck. is it in the paper at all?

Happy Birthday Josh! My goal at Ellen's wedding is to get updated pics of everyone for blog posting. And to not go into labor.
Happy Birthday Josh! :-)
Here's a super easy, delicious cake recipe for your special day.
My sister (literally) made it, cooked it and ate in 5 minutes.
MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
1 Coffee Mug
4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) & vanilla, & mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave & cook for 3 minutes
at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug,
but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, & tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe
in the world? Because now we are all only 5
minutes away from chocolate cake at any time
of the day or night!
m.e. My sister says her entire house smells like yummy chocolate cake and if she were selling...she would make up one of these before her open house.
Yeah - but you need to have all those things that I don't have like flour and sugar and baking cocoa, and eggs and milk and oil and chocolate chips and vanilla.
I do, however, have a mug. Any recipe for making a chololate cake out of ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, diet pepsi and salsa?
Well...now I know what to get you for Christmas! :-)
what? no chicken chips and pepperoni?
Predictions on Iowa vs Iowa State?
Mine - Iowa wins 24-13 behind a rushing attack led by super collider monkeys.
Tom
Hey - how come we can't get rid of our nuclear waste by putting it in the super collider monkey black holes?

Happy birthday, Josh!
See you Thursday!

Ha! The birthday with meat and no cake - whose birthday, it could be anybody's. I laughed all the way home.
lisa
Happy Birthday Joshua!
They named a tree after you!
Joe and Nance...I joked about THE MARKET beacuse it's the only store here besides KMart that has kids books (and nice treats like salsa!)...
Tom, I believe they can collect 2 head taxes from Mr. Limbaugh 'cause he has such a big one.
Lisa...the cake came out after you left...a very tiny caramely/chocolate cake with exploding candles...Stevo had a piece (tiny piece) The Egan's don't uaually serve cake, I was surprised.
I don't mind no cake... it was just so funny that the birthday had left the same impression on both of their young minds.
lisa
It's very funny and cute!!
I hope Obama doesn't apoligize for the "lipstick on a pig" statement.
If he said "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" THEN he should apoligize!!
Why should Obama apologize? Politicians should be rewarded for telling the truth.
hehe
I equate McCain's phony outrage over the lipstick comment with the phony outrage that often emminates from the minority "community" over similiarly benign statements.
It's all tiresome.

Tom
I think Obama's comment was a bit "school yard" of him. However, who cares! Move on...don't they all have better things to talk about?
Happy Birthday Josh! If I had time I would make you a Rice Krispie cake but there will be a nice big white birthday cake for you at the wedding reception.

Hooray for Ellen's Wedding!!!!
Des...could you find out why Carrabba's has grass and trees growing on their roof?
I'm still trying to decide what kind of wedding guest I'm going to be. Should I be the guy who tries to impress his girlfriend by dancing with a toddler's feet on mine, or should I be the guy who lifts of bottle of wine from the caterer and then takes a swing at a bus boy when accused? I'm not quite sure. I'll get back to you on that. Like the Magic 8 ball says: to early to tell.
Mary
Your question about the green roofs interested me so I looked up Carrabbas on the internet and found that it is part of their brand imaging.
They have pictures of their food on their web site. I have consumed about 300 calories so far today and it's 3:30 and I'm STARVING.

I have a question to raise about the wedding song poll. I voted for Celtic Symphony and now it has no votes and Paradise by the Dashboard Lights (which is the opposite of marriage) has 4. How did that happen?

Des, Scott wants to know if we can vote to see which guy shows up at the wedding. If so, he votes for the beliggerant (sp?) drunk.
hey Algonans: Any leads on babysitter during the Homecoming game?
NOTICE TO WEDDING GUESTS: Joe3 was out of town today and called to ask me to put this message on the blog. He has an extra room at the Doubletree Inn in Omaha which he will cancel early tomorrow (Friday) unless one of you needs it.

Dad
Emily,
I'm thinking about pulling out the always popular khaki suit guy (with pants that are a bit too snug). Antics might include twirling the groom's sister around and nearly passing out after hitting your head on a hand dryer.
Other favorites include the Garter Guy: he who catches the garter and freaks out his girlfriend all night long with speculation and touching.
There's also "smoke a joint with the DJ" guy. "Get rowdy and nearly be killed at a town-y bar" guy. There's "tuck your girlfriend in and attend the party down the hall" guy. Still haven't decided.
Since I am bringing a guest, there are a closet full of wedding characters I won't be dusting off for this one. I'd like to leave them where they are, under a pile of forgettable dirty laundry soon to be donated to the Salvation Army.
I think you should show up as John Travolta wannabe guy and if you get drunk and get in a fight you could do it like West Side Story. Snap, snap, snap....so cool.
There's "over tip the cute bartender guy." He's the lonely, desperate guy who hangs at the bar and decides the bartender is his own marriage material. When she leaves without saying good bye after he felt they made a "connection" be becomes even more sullen and bitter. Perhaps starts a fight with his dashing, successful cousin.
We do need a Chuck Behr guy at these things. A person who quickly sheds his coat and tie. Drinks too much. Embarasses his wife. Quickly knows everyone in the room. Dances till he's soaking wet and is respectfully amiable. I nominate Randy.
Tom
I nominate Andy. :-)
We know everyone wants to stay close to the reception... but we do have a guest room which is in use tonight but will be vacant this weekend... and we can put the girls in with us and there would be a big room with two double beds available.
No one wants to stay with us! Is it us or is it the lack of cable TV?

"I had my first dance with a girl! It was her first too! We danced all night!"
Donny was sooo funny with that girl! Where did he learn those dance moves?
I loved when he put his fingertip on the top of her head and she twirled around. He was Napoleon Dynamite.
Thanks everyone - I feel like I just didn't get around and talk to everybody like a good hostess (self-indulgently dancing with my sisters all night instead while Stevo played host) but it was a fun night, wasn't it? Andy was beautiful and Ellen was so handsome. They'll be in San Francisco by 2:30 this afternoon, poor things. I actually have a blister on my heel. It hurts so good.
It sounds like a great time. When I talked to Betty on Sunday afternoon she was just exhausted!
Joe3 forgot his camera--if any of you have any pictures of JoeIV and Betty all dressed up...could you email them to me at kelia@netamumail.com.
Any bites on a sitter yet, Emily? If you still need someone I will check around.
Kelli
What a GREAT WEDDING!!! I loved Ellen's dress and the bridesmaid's dresses, as well, and the hall was very classy and great food and dancing was so fun... Thanks Jayjacks.
Kelli was wondering if anyone has a photo of Betty in her beautiful dress...
Did anyone catch the clip of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin - it was on SNL Saturday night but they've been showing it during the morning news today. Really good.
I offered to babysit for Emily. I wanna get to a game for Joe4's senior year...but, it doesn't have to be homecoming. :-)
Eli sprained his ankle at football on Saturday and Liam developed a booty/leg rash w/ a secondary infection from wearing rain soaked/polyester/tight football pants for 4 hours! Good grief. :-<>
Donny was all excited to talk about his first dance with a girl when they were here on Sunday...too cute. :-)
Whatever happened to the good old days when a company's senior management would jump off tall buildings when the company failed? Instead they walk away with 10s of millions of dollars.
Tom
Thanks for JOsh's bday wishes. He doesn't check the blog, as he doesn't have a work computer and I usurp ours.
The wedding was enormous fun! Donny was hilarious. Now I'm at Mom and Dad's - and Curly Girl's - house. Good dog, and no accidents yet.
It feels like I've been away from home for ages...and I don't leave til Saturday. I suppose it's been 11 days and 3000 miles which is a while.
p
We weren't there...but, voted for Donny! :-)
Didn't Don have to drive to Minn. after the wedding to drop Donny off?
Curly girl is sooo cool...she gives a little bark to go outside, sits in Mom's chair with her and watches TV, and this morning was curled up under a blanket with Mom in bed, just her head sticking out.
ED...I just read theat the Fed has asked JP MORGAN CHASE to loan $75 Billion to AIG...What are you going to do?? If Buffett's not getting involved maybe you shouldn't...pray tell what does the Oracle of Racine have to say???
D & D surprised us with a visit on Sunday afternoon...I fed them dinner and then they were off. :-)
I'll bet you a dime to donuts that Sarah Palin says "sammich" instead of saying sandwich.
Tom
The wedding was beautiful. Everything was wonderfully put together and the food was amazing. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Thanks Cathy and Steve for such a great time!
lisa
Yes the food was amazing. And the dancing and the decorations. I'm interested in seeing the family photo....to see if the photographer actually managed to get everyone in there.
p
Hey, somebody put up a couple wedding photos on this blog!
Every mother's nightmare...Today was school picture day at Seton for 4th grade and lower. They served spaghetti for lunch.
Tom
In the defense of school...spaghetti was served *after* photos. However, it was still "dress-up" day. I dunno...perhaps, a grilled cheese? Liam successfully wore his tangerine golf shirt throughout lunch and came away clean...way to go Liam! :-)
