Classic Food Funny

One day a guy was driving home from work urging for baked beans. After so long he finally went into a nearby restaurant and ate 5 servings of beans. He drove home and his wife told him she had a surprise for him,so she blindfolded him. Just then the phone rang and the wife went to get it but said whatever you do, dont peek and sat him at the dining room table.The guy noticed the beans satrted to have an effect. He lifted up his leg and let out a big one. He kept farting and finally the wife got off the phone. She walked into the dining room and said...

...Whats that smell?

It was time for his surprise so the wife took off his blind fold and there were guests all around the table for his birthday.

Tachyon Food Harmonizing Disk ~

Everything on Earth and in this universe exists within is own Energetic Continuum. In addition to the material, physical body, we have several other layers of energetic bodies. Through all these layers of energy, an Energetic Continuum flows from the highest, most refined subtle bodies down to the material body.

The energy flowing through the Energetic Continuum comes from one source. In India, it is called the Divine Mother and in modern, spiritual teachings it is called Cosmic Energy. Also the modern physics has a name for it: Zero-Point Energy or Free Energy. Well known by Feng Shui, Reiki, Prana Energy and Radionic practitioners and healers.

This food harmonizing disk is great to use:

* To detoxicate the body
* To support blood circulation
* To stimulate the immune system
* Energizes and harmonizes your drinking water

To charge your food with pure energy put it onto the disk for about 10 minutes or put it under your fruit or veggie bowl to keep the foods fresh.

World's Largest Peanut

Published by Expired Foods on at 8:18 AM.

The peanut monument, located in Turner County, was designated the official peanut monument in 1998. At one time, peanuts were the number one cash crop in Georgia and were largely responsible for keeping many Turner County families fed. In honor of the importance of the peanut, one of Ashburn's citizens erected what some call the 'World’s Largest Peanut.” The monument is approximately 20 feet tall."

It's name leaves nothing to the imagination...

Best Yeast Rolls, Ever!

Published by Expired Foods on at 8:08 AM.

4 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 large eggs
4 packages (1/4 oz. size) active dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1-1/4 cups milk

Cream margarine and shortening with sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs slowly. Dissolve yeast in warm water (110--be sure that water is not too hot). Sift together flour and salt. Add half of flour and half of milk to the shortening and sugar mixture. Add dissolved yeast. Add remainder of milk and flour to make a soft dough. Cover dough and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and stretchy. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl large enough to hold dough when doubled in size, turning once to grease the surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place (90 F) until it doubles in size (about 2 hours). Fold dough over from 4 sides to knead lightly. Let rise again until double in size. Roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape as desired.

To Make Cloverleaf Rolls
1. Shape dough into small balls. Three balls should half-fill a greased muffin pan. Brush with melted margarine or butter.
2. Let rise in warm place (90 F) until double in size (about 25 to 30 minutes). Do not let rolls "over-rise".
3. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven until both
the top and bottom of rolls are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and brush top of rolls with melted margarine.
