Yay for bringing jobs back to the USA….

THOMAS’ MOVED THEIR PRODUCTION BACK TO THE USA FROM MEXICO AFTER A MASSIVE CUSTOMER BOYCOTT.

Once upon a time. The executives at Thomas’ decided they could increase profits by making their muffins in Mexico. And so they moved their bakeries. But there were unforeseen consequences. Thomas’ muffins just didn’t taste the same. The muffins were drier, They just didn’t taste the same, People who regularly bought them noticed and told the company how they felt. The company ignored them, so they told Thomas’ they would no longer use their products and stopped buying them. Seeing the error of their ways (as well as plummeting sales) Thomas’ English Muffins moved their bakeries in Mexico back to the USA.

Thomas’ English Muffins Are Now Made At Bakeries In Frederick MD, Placentia CA, Greenwich CT, Orlando FL, Riviera Beach FL, And Elkhart IN.

Joke shared from a friend 🙂

A young guy from N. J. moves to Fla. He goes to a big “everything under one roof” store looking for a sales job.

The Manager says, “Do you have any sales experience?”

The kid says, “Yeah. I was a salesman back in New Jersey.”

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. “You start tomorrow. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.”

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it.

After the store was locked up, the boss came down. “How many customers bought something from you today?”

The kid says, “One.”

The boss says, “Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?”

The kid says “$101,237.65.”

The boss says “$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?”

The kid says, “First, I sold him a small fishhook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook.

“Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast,

“So I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft.”

“Then he said he didn’t think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4×4 Expedition.”

The boss said, “A guy came in here to buy a fishhook, and you sold him a BOAT AND a TRUCK?!”

The kid said, “No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife, and I said, ‘Dude, your weekend’s shot, you should go fishing.'”

Pork Tenderloin

3 pounds Pork Tenderloin (1 Pkg. Of 2 Tenderloins), Cut Into 4 Pieces Total

1 pound Bacon

¾ cups Soy Sauce

1 Tablespoon Minced Onions

½ teaspoons Garlic Salt

1 Tablespoon Wine Vinegar Or White Vinegar

¼ teaspoons Salt

1 dash Pepper

¾ cups Brown Sugar

Preparation Instructions

Wrap the tenderloin pieces in bacon. Place in an 8 1/2″ x 11″ pan. Poke holes in meat with a fork.

Combine rest of ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Pour marinade over meat. Refrigerate, uncovered, 2 to 3 hours or overnight.

Bake in a 300 degree oven for two to three hours. If the bacon burns, place foil over the top after approximately 1 1/2 hours of baking. Remove from oven, cut meat into small pieces and allow the meat to soak up the excess juices in the pan.

So sad, may this young man rest in peace and his parents and family grieve in peace also.

Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner

I love this recipe for Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner. With only three ingredients it is easy to use and costs only pennies per serving. I used it and my toilets were shining.

Removing toxins from my home without using chemicals is important, so this non toxic homemade toilet bowl cleaner is a winner. For those of you who don’t like the smell of vinegar the Melaleuca essential oil will not only mask the smell but will also serve as a sanitizer.

I highly recommend this do it yourself recipe for Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner. I just added the baking soda, Melaleuca or Tee-Tree Essential Oil and then the vinegar and let it soak for about 10 minutes. I followed up by scrubbing it with my toilet bowl brush.

1/2 – 3/4 cup baking soda

8 – 10 drops tea-tree or melaleuca essential oil

1/2 – 3/4 cup distilled white vinegar

Pour Baking Soda directly into the toilet boil add oil, then vinegar – in this order. …»

Add Essential Oil

Let sit for 10 minutes then scrub boil with brush.

Ok confusing to me just a bit….baking soda, add oil then vinegar….then add essential oil….surely they didn’t mean to add this part in again
