The Young Messiah ...


     
     I finished watching the movie a few minutes ago.  

      I am no literary nor movie critic.  I won't try to be one.  I want only to respond to the movie in my own way.

      I thank Anne Rice for writing the book "Christ the Lord Out of Egypt."  I enjoyed her exploration of what being the Young Messiah, Jesus Christ, might have been like.  To put that into a novel and then to put it into a movie of less than two hours was a huge challenge.  Anne Rice took it on and produce a lovely book. The producers (and everyone else involved) of the movie took it on and produced a lovely movie.  I think they produced presentations that were in good faith and reasonably faithful to the New Testament presentations.

Non-tippers take advantage of everyone and ruin everything! It's always lose-lose!

Tips (money paid for service) are a way to keep prices down. Tips are how a customer can pay the person who provided him / her a service. 15 - 20 % is a fair measure that everyone can chip in to help assure that service providers are paid for what they do. Tips lead to win-win business and keep win-win business perpetually rolling. Non-tipping lead to lose-lose business and keep lose-lose business perpetually rolling.

Think about it!  Probably that one ceramic plate of scrambled eggs, grits, bacon, and toast served with metal utensils would cost you well above $10, and that does not include the cost of a beverage served to you in a ceramic / glass container!  So, now you're at $12 just for one person!  Could you afford to feed your family (of say 4) at tha...

I could call this Red Copper Skillet Lasagna!

      When I was having fun making this, I had a few objectives in mind. 1) Use that square red copper skillet; 2) use up leftovers that were in the fridge; and 3), of course, enjoy a good time!       I didn't know we didn't have any store bought lasagna noodles!  Oh darn!  I guess I just have to make some!  Let's put some bread flour and eggs to work!       I had some herbs growing from pots out on the porch, so I got to enjoy using them!  I cleared the fridge of some leftover chicken, ground beef, and pork cutlets.  Chop, chop, chop!  Heat, stir, taste, correct with herbs, spices, and seasoning.  Repeat if necessary!      Did I mention we had some left over sour cream and ricotta cheese too!     We ate about half of it on the first go around!  I love, love, LOVE left over lasagna!
