Steve Juricic and Tropical Squeeze at SNPJ 778
Everybody seemed to enjoy Steve Juricic & Tropical Squeeze's music on Sunday at the Lodge 778. It was lively and diverse. Of course, every band's music is always the best when the musicians enjoy performing and music comes from their hearts...
We've even had a chance to see some line dancing!

Special thanks
Yesterday's Thanksgiving Dinner and Dance was a success and there are quite a few people who made it happen:
Richard Krchmaric and his son Matthew were responsible for all the good foods we ate.
Grace Bouma, Anne Gombocs, Tony Markel, Carol Dragonsky, Eileen Harfmann and Walt Stauffer were busy servers.
The bar and its guests were taken care for by John Lavrich, Nezka Novak and Richard Brown.
Doris Lavrich and Marge Thomas were in charge of tickets.
Last but not least, the members of the decorations and setup crew were equally important piece of the puzzle: Doris, Anne, John, Walt and Marge.
Thank you all, including those who might have helped in any way but are not mentioned above!

Homemade cranberry sauce with a twist
Even when using recipes - I just have to invent something that's uniquely mine, to adjust ingredients and taste to my preferences.
Here's the story about inventing a different kind of homemade cranberry sauce.
About a year or so ago I found this really great recipe how to cook cranberries into delicious sauce. I used the original recipe a few times and the sauce was great: easy to make and tasty. The only thing I have a problem with is that it calls for a lot of sugar (which I try to eliminate from my diet) and orange juice (which is acidic so it's also on my "stay-away list").
That's why I cooked my newly invented sugar free cranberry sauce by replacing sugar with agave syrup and orange juice with grapefruit juice...
... and my 2008 Thanksgiving cranberry sauce recipe is as follows:
* 12 ounces cranberries
* juice of a medium-sized grapefruit
* approximately 1/2 cup of agave syrup*
Directions:
Cook cranberries in grapefruit juice and agave syrup in a medium size pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes (cranberries need to pop). Remove from heat, place in a bowl and let the sauce cool and thicken.
If you like your cranberry sauce more jellied, mash cooked cranberries with a fork.
* The quantity of agave syrup is approximate because the taste will depend on the size and the sweetness of the grapefruit you use. However, with using agave syrup as a sweetener it's easy to add more, even after the sauce cools down.
And the most important thing about this recipe is that it's good for everyone, does not contain any alcohol or any artificial ingredients.
Enjoy!

Daniel Keene Jr. - FASCAR 2008 Champion
Have you heard about Daniel Keene Jr. yet?
He has quite a story to tell about his 2008 FASCAR LATE MODEL CHALLENGE 100 season, which was his first full season ever!
He is presently looking for sponsors for the next season and while his fans praise him with words like "Daniel is a Great Driver!" and such, his mom stated, "He's great on the radio, in interviews, and quite good looking. He'd be great in those jean commercials."
Read the whole story and see more photos here.

First line dance class report
The first line dancing class this past Wednesday was a success and I assume everyone is looking forward to coming back every Wednesday throughout the season.
I couldn't make it myself so I don't have a picture for you today - or more detailed report - but I'll stop by as soon as I can and let you know how many line-dance students are having fun there.
It's not too late to join though - even if you've never line-danced before, you should at least give it a try. It's a lot of fun and great exercise for all ages and genders.
Schedule and details can be found here.
