And you can make some nifty little pigs in a blanket with them, too. For a pretty ppetizer, try cutting the hot dogs into 8 pieces each (lengthwise then lengthwise again then in half horizontally Roll out he crescents and cut them into strips to fit the hot dogs(the hot dogs can peek out the sides a bit). Roll up the hot dogs, then brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake.

Those sound yummy! You can also try putting the crescents into muffin tins and fillin them--try brie cheese topped with some walnuts and cinnamon and bake.

Hi! Where I live, in So. California, Chinese Five Spice is available in the regular grocery store. It can be strong, so remember that a little goes a long way. I use it in my Tortilla rolls with peanut dip. Use flour tortillas for the rolls. Fill them with cooked, shedded chicken, shredded carrots, chopped peanuts, bean sprouts and Chinese Five Spice. Roll like taquitos and bake. Dip in a sauce mixed with smooth peanut butter, sesame oil, sesame seeds, hot sauce, Chinese Five Spice, vegetable oil, and a touch of water to thin it out. Yum.

Why You'll Love This Camera - Blog Entry

08 Sep 2007 12:27 PM

Hi there! I just got the Canon Rebel XTI--it's wonderful! Since it's a digital SLR, it takes pictures FAST, so you don't lose any moments, expressions, or shots like you do with a point-and-shoot digital camera. It's a bit pricey, yes...but if you save up for it, and if you love taking photographs, you'll love this product. **A word of caution though--I tried to save money by getting only the camera body, since I had a Sigma brand lens on my Canon SLR already and it was "supposed" to be compatible. WELL...apparently older lenses are not always digitally compatible. So, if you buy your camera and it won't shoot, contact the lens manufacturer--they usually fix the problem for free.

Should Toys be in Kindergarten Classrooms? - Blog Entry

Hi! My son was in kindergarten last year. They had no toys in his classroom. In fact, when I taught (southern Calif.) there were no toys in any of the kindergarten classrooms. I find this sad...I agree with what you said...there needs to be a balance.
