Saturday Six - Episode 271

Patrick’s Place Saturday Six - Episode 271

1. You’re invited to a get-together with friends, and you’re asked to bring a tasty treat: what are you most likely to bring?
For parties, I like to make…

~~ Cream Cheese Tortilla Roll ~~

* 1 PKG Tortilla - Burritos Size
* 2 PKG 8 Oz Cream Cheese
* 1 PKG Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
* 1/2 8 Oz Can of Black Olives
* 1 Can 2 Oz Chopped Green Chili Peppers
* 1 Jar 2 Oz Chopped Pimentos
* 2 Scallions

Slice the Black Olives and Scallions. Soften the cream cheese. Mix all the ingredients except the Tortillas. Spread the ingredients onto the tortillas and roll it up.Cut in bit size pieces.
Can be refrigerated before serving.
Variation: Instead of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix and green Chili peppers, use McCormick Taco Seasoning for a Mexican Flavor and Jalapenos peppers.

2. Considering your answer to the previous question, are you more likely to buy something already prepared, or prepare something from scratch on your own?
Make

3. Where is the last place you met a close friend for coffee or a meal?
Hmm…that is a hard questions answer because I usually go out with several friends for a meal and if I met a friend for coffee, it is usually over business. I would have to say the “Olive Garden” with a friend who doesn’t get many opportunities to go out.

4. Take the quiz: What Mexican Food Are You?

You Are a Burrito

You life large, and you're happiest when you're the center of attention.
You are popular and appealing. You are charming and naturally flirtatious.

You are a trendsetter. You're always trying something new, and you never get stuck in a rut.
You are open minded and adventurous. You love to mix seemingly random elements together.

What Mexican Food Are You?

5. How many local restaurants have some special sentimental significance for you because of time you’ve spent there with family or friends?
None, I am more interested in going to a restaurant that has good food more than for sentimental reasons.

6. If you had a local restaurant that you liked, but that was a hangout for you and a close friend, and that friend moved away, would you find it hard to go back how hard would it be for you to continue going to that restaurant?
No, I don’t think it would. Good food wins out over emotions any day.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
