So poor Bill Bennett quit with the province during this past week over an email that had some fairly negative comments in it. A constituent riled Bill up and off the top of the volcano came, in the form of a written and permanent email. I have a temper like Mr Bennett. I admit to sending out emails that were TERRIBLE in the past. Ones that will likely haunt me some day.
The point of all this is a simple one. Bill sent a simple email - he didn't punch this guy in the head or set his house on fire or run him down with his car and yet our premier, who rides on high, was charged as a drunk driver and NOTHING happened! It was like - come on - everyone does it so I thought I would just join the crowd. I'm above the law.
I don't think our premier should have said anything about disappointment - Bill might have barked off but it wasn't illegal - we all have our opinions... people voted for Bill because he has always been like this. I'm not defending Bill's actions I think some kind of disciplinary action should have occurred. If we look at the scale of things with the premier just carrying on his merry way after the DUI charge, I think Bill might have actually been up for a promotion.

I think because it was a PERSONAL e-mail, and not public slander, it was taken a little far.
Other than that...because I'm procrastinating...
Lemon Curd (from the Better Homes and Gardens cook book - a very reliable one)
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup margarine or butter
2 beaten eggs
1. In a med. saucepan combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in lemon peel and lemon juice. Add margarine. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.
2. Stir HALF the lemon mixture into the eggs (to avoid that clumping awfulness that happens if you just pour without stirring into eggs.) Pour egg mixture into pan. Cook and stir for two minutes more. Cover with waxed paper. Cool. (Approx. 1 cup sauce.)
ORANGE CURD: Prepare as above, but insert the word orange where it says lemon.
Have you ever tried the wheelchair symbol beside the box for typing the word verification? Turn the sound on. It's pretty cool.
hooray jen thank you for posting the lemon curd recipe - hooray!
thanks for the wheelchair symbol tip... that is something else...
