It’s easy to forget just how important, valuable and necessary good doctors are – that is, until you get ill or sustain am injury. Doctors Day puts hard-working doctors in the spotlight, and encourages us to be considerate of the long hours they work, their compassion, and the effort they put into practicing medicine.

History

 | Sculpting ice presents a number of difficulties stemming from the material's variability with regard to purity and air content, as well as its tendency to melt. Ice sculptures feature decoratively in some cuisines, especially in Asia, and numerous competitions are held annually around the world where competitors sculpt realistic as well as abstract forms. In Kiruna, Sweden, a hotel made entirely of ice blocks is open from November to May. | ||

You are outgoing and assertive, yet you are also very mindful of others, sensitive, thoughtful, and require time for yourself to recharge your emotional batteries often. While you enjoy a challenge, you don't seek out making changes as readily as many Aries do. You are very protective of those you love, and you are an ardent, charming lover. Famous people born today: Vincent Van Gogh, Eric Clapton, Celine Dion, Warren Beatty, Norah Jones, Paul Reiser.

CrockPot Smoky Refried Bean Soup Recipe
I was in the mood for comfort food. I found the idea for this recipe on the Fat Free Vegan Blog. I needed to swap some ingredients to use up what I had on hand, and I cooked it in the crockpot instead of the stove.
This is a nice soup. And evidently it's both fat free and vegan!
The Ingredients.
--1 can of vegetarian refried beans
--1 can of black beans
--1 cup frozen roasted corn
--2 cups of vegetable broth
--1 cup baby tomatoes cut in quarters (you could used canned tomatoes--no juice-- instead)
--1 cup diced carrots
--1 t garlic (I was out of fresh. If using fresh, chop up 2-3 cloves)
--1 T tobasco sauce
--1 t cumin
--1 t oregano
--1/2 t chipotle chili powder
--salt and pepper to taste (I eyeballed, maybe 1/2 t of pepper, and a bit more for salt?)
The Directions.
--dump in refried beans into your crockpot
--turn your crock to high, to start to melt the bean blob
--rinse black beans, add to crock
--chop up the tomatoes and carrots, add to mix
--pour in your vegetable broth
--add all spices
--give a quick stir
--cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8. You aren't really "cooking" anything---just letting it all simmer and getting the carrots to soften. The soup is done when the carrots are to your liking.
The Verdict.
This was too spicy for the kids, but it had a wonderful kick for Adam and me. It clears sinuses nicely, without need for extra water. I liked the thick consistency a lot.

Front Seat
A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a baby bear in the front seat. "What are you doing with that bear?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo."
The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the bear again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. "I thought you were going to take that bear to the zoo!"
The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!"
