The topic of my last and final blog for this class is titled "Working Girl." As in the movie with Melanie Griffin and Harrison Ford, not the working girl from the street corners.
This movie has to be one of my all time favorites. I caught the last 45 minutes of this movie on T.V. this morning and knew I wanted to blog about it.
Here is this girl, Tess and she has all these ideas but no one takes her good ideas seriously. So she has to do a little bending of the rules to make her-self heard. I think that you have to admire a girl like that. Because she's beautiful everyone only she's the face and not the brains. So she hooks up with this guy, Jack, who is also her boss' sort of boyfriend but her boss is out of town with a broken leg. So now she's really into things deep. But in the end she gets the job, and the guy.
I know from first hand experience that just because you might not have that college degree behind your name, how hard you have to work to prove to others that you are more than capable of doing the job. Now I am in no way saying that you shouldn't go to college because I am obviously in college. But sometimes I think you need to give people a chance whether or not they went to college. Sometimes it's hands on experience that makes the person a better worker than taking classes and just reading about it.
If you have never seen this movie, than I really encourage you to do so!
Anyway...best wishes to you all, I hope you find yourself happy and successful!

Crabapple tree's!
In my home, the recent topic has been about Crab apple tree's!
I know this may sound like an odd topic of interest but it is one that I have found to be kind of interesting.
Recently my husband was given two free crab apple tree's to plant in out back yard. We have a pretty decent sized back yard, so we were excited to take these 2 tree's and make them part of our home's decor. 1st of all, when they are mature enough to bloom, the flowers are absolutely beautiful to look at. I can hardly wait to see them in full bloom. But the 2nd thing, which is the main part of our conversation, is that we can not find a plain and simple solution to our question..."Are crap apple's safe to eat raw"?
I have found several recipes using the tiny fruit for jellies and preserves but that is with the fruit cooked. But no one seems to be able to answer the questions about if they are safe to eat raw. My first thought was that of they're safe for jelly than surely they are ok to eat raw. But then I thought, what if cooking them takes out the potentially harmful part of them.
The reason we are to interested in this, is that we have young children and the last thing I want to do is have their stomach pumped from eating something that comes from their own back yard that might make them sick.
If anyone knows anything about this, I would love to hear what you have to say! It would help ease my mind if I could get a straight forward answer from someone on this! Best Wishes and thanks for reading!
