Advinha

Tenho camisa e casaco

Sem remendo nem buraco

Estoiro como um foguete

Se alguém no lume me mete.

Qual é coisa qual é ela?

Tem trêscapas de Inverno

A primeira mete medo;

A segunda é lustrosa;

A terceira é amargosa.

Tem casca bem guardada

Ninguém lhe pode mexer.

Sozinha ou acompanhada

Em Novembro no vem ver.

Solução: castanha.

When you believe that you are beautiful, other people are bound to think the same. Anonymous

 

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.     Eleanor Roosevelt

You are most beautiful when your eyes are glowing with kindness and joy.     Debasish Mrid

If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.     Byron Ka

How dare the world define beauty. God defined beauty when he made you! You are beautiful, you are a true beauty just the way you are!     

Rachel Hamilton

You are loved. You are wonderfully made. You are beautiful. You have purpose. You are a masterpiece.

Want to know a secret? Someone out there can't stop thinking about you. You are beautiful. Don't ever believe differently.

Bacon, Egg and Toast Cups. - From Martha Stewart

 

 

Try cooked, crumbled sausage in place of bacon or make a vegetarian version with sauteed spinach. Dress things up with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 slices white or whole-wheat sandwich bread
6 slices bacon
6 large eggs
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter 6 standard muffin cups. With a rolling pin, flatten bread slices slightly and, with a 4 1/4-inch cookie cutter, cut into 8 rounds. Cut each round in half, then press 2 halves into each muffin cup, overlapping slightly and making sure bread comes up to edge of cup. Use extra bread to patch any gaps. Brush bread with remaining butter.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium, until almost crisp, 4 minutes, flipping once. (It will continue to cook in the oven.) Lay 1 bacon slice in each bread cup and crack an egg over each. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Run a small knife around cups to loosen toasts. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note

Standard muffin pans come in 6- or 12-cup size; if baking 6 items in a 12-cup pan, leave empty space in between. Nonstick pans are nice but not essential. Beware of very thin pans, which often lead to burning. Place pans on a baking sheet to make them easier to get in and out of the oven.

Divorce Jokes

A woman went to an attorney to ask about a divorce.
"What grounds do you have, ma'm?"
"About six acres."

"No, I don't think you quite understand. Let me rephrase the question. do you have a grudge?"
"No, just a parking space."
"I'll try again. does your husband beat you?"
"No, I always get up at least an hour before he does."
The attorney could see he was fighting a losing battle. "Madam, are you sure you want a divorce?"
"I'm not the one who wants a divorce," she said. "My husband does. He claims we don't communicate."




At inspection one morning, an officer asked a private who was thinking about no re-enlisting, "Are you married, son?"
"No, sir," he replied. "Engaged."
"There's no need to get married," the officer said, sensing an opportunity to change the private's plans for discharge. "The Marine Corps is your wife. It clothes you, feeds you, puts a roof over your head, keeps you in top physical condition and provides you with companionship. What else could you possibly want?"
"With all due respect, sir," answered the private, "a divorce!"
