peanut butter quesadillas recipes

These taste good, are quick and easy to make, and with a little variation, can serve multiple purposes.

The basic recipe is a 10 inch tortilla, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and a buttered fry pan. Spread the peanut butter evenly on the tortilla, fold in half, then fry each side till golden brown or color you like it.

Add jelly, jam, or preserves for a “peanut butter and jelly” experience. We’re partial to strawberry preserves in our home.

For a nice breakfast twist to it, slice a banana lengthwise and lay out on the peanut butter covered tortilla, then spread around 1 teaspoon of honey over it all, fold over fry as above. Good quick breakfast food.

Use whole wheat tortillas and no sugar added peanut butter for an even healthier snack.

Found this info on making aluminum can airplanes. I’d been working with aluminum cans to build backpacking gear for a while. When looking for sites on making gear, I stumbled across this hobby. Here are the better links I’ve come across…

http://www.allaboutbeer.com/features/235airplane.html
A detailed free plan for how to make an aluminum can biplane. The best free instructions I’ve been able to find, the one I’ve chosen to do with my kids.

http://www.bcair.com/
This one, B.C.Air Originals(bcair.com), sells instructions for how to make aluminum can airplanes in PDF format at 10 bucks each. The pdf’s appear to include scale cut outs and good visuals. They look easy to follow and they have plans for some very cool designs, like a helicopter, a fighter jet, and a P-38 to name the ones that stuck out to me. If the kids like the biplane enough, and I find myself unsure about making something more advanced without further instruction, I might spring for one.

Finally, if you just can’t build it but want one anyway, you can order a very large variety pre-made from
Candoplanes.com. They have a surprisingly wide selection of planes, including an Sr-71 and a B-29, interesting to look at.

If you know of any other good resources, please post them in the comments and I may add them to the article. Have fun!

Q. How Long Do I Cook a Two Pound Meatloaf?

A. Bake a two pound meat loaf at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

This can vary due to people’s taste, but we’ll usually boil pork ribs on a medium-high for 60 minutes before moving the ribs to either the barbecue or the oven. We find that this time consistently leads to meat that easily comes off the bone after barbecue or oven. Have some friends who like shorter cook times, but their ribs seem to come out less consistent than ours.

It’s typically a lot easier to cut the ribs up before boiling, but I’ve seen friends insist on the whole rack, just requires a really big pot or some really small ribs. If you don’t have a need for a whole rack in one piece, definitely cut the ribs up while they are still cold with slightly frozen centers. We find they cut the easiest that way.

If you came up to me two months ago and told me that in two months I’d be listening to a swedish hip-hop band’s album over and over again, I would have assumed you were on drugs or feeble minded in some other way.
After all, I’m one of THOSE Americans, I just can’t seem to get into any foreign music where I can’t understand the lyrics. I had been able to do foreign films for a long time, I grew up on Kung Fu flicks and Japanese monster movies and I’ve enjoyed plenty of other language movies since then. But foreign language music I simply never was able to get into, until now…

From the first minute of the first song I ever heard by them, I was captivated by the sound. A sound that is classic and classy, yet simultaneously modern and unpretentious. Enough complexity to have substantial musical depth and soul, but simple enough that it doesn’t overload the senses. A lot of modern music seems unable to get the right balance in my opinion, but Movits! has it down perfectly.

From the toe tapping and popular “Fel del av garden” to the smooth chill-out sound of “Stick ivag Jack del II”, the sound is moving, solid, and compelling. There are a few songs of theirs I can’t get into, like the last song on their album “Vals pa Vinkelgrand”, it’s too polka-ie for my tastes. The lion’s share of the songs though are just plain good if not outstanding.

I really can’t comment much on the quality of the lyrics as I don’t speak swedish. I did look up the english translation to “Fel del av garden” and the translation I found seemed as down to earth and authentic as the band sounds musically. I have to admit, the first few days I kept thinking “this sucks that I can’t understand them”, but, after a while you realize that if you understand the music, the lyrics are a secondary concern.

So, I’m hooked on this band “Movits!”. If you haven’t checked them out, then I strongly recommend you play one of the youtube songs embedded here. Their songs are available thru Amazon and iTunes and their CD, Äppelknyckarjazz(translated: Apple Swiping Jazz), can be ordered but it is expensive as it’s an import. Luckily from Amazon and iTunes the album is only 8.99 for the 12 song album in mp3 format, or 99 cents a song individually. Either way, very reasonable in my opinion.
Currently, one of my favorite bands in the world. I should write a letter thanking Stephen Colbert, but he’d probably just take that as a sign of weakness, thus ruining my chances of obtaining the coveted “Alpha Dog” award.

Q.How Long Did It Take to Build the Great Pyramid?

A.It is believed the Great Pyramid of Giza(aka Pyramid of Khufu) was built over a 14 to 20 year period, finishing at around 2560 BC for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu. At that speed, they would had to have moved more than 800 tons of stone every day on average, and even more if it took only 14 years. All without the benefit of modern technology to do the work.

And I used to think I had it bad when we were the only house on the block with a push mower.

There is no magic number that works for everyone, this number will vary from person to person based on genetics, current level of fitness, average daily activity level, age, weight, etc… To figure yours out, you’ll need to figure out what your “maintenance calories” are, that is, the calories required for you to stay at your current weight based on your activity level and other variables. Whatever that number is, eat less than that to lose weight.

To get a guesstimate number to start with, you’ll want to visit a site like Nutritiondata.com
Be honest and accurate when it asks for your stats. Use that number as a starting guide for your own experimentation and remember that that number is just a guide, you will need to feel out your own actual needs which could be higher or lower than that number.

Always consult with your health care professional before dieting or when in doubt about anything regarding your health. I am not a health care professional, just a person who has experience losing weight.
