Weekly Quote, Tip, Riddle & Recipe
 
WEEKLY QUOTE -   “The secret of happiness is not in what one likes to do, but in what one has to do.”      
- J.M. Barrie

WEEKLY TIP -   If you receive a big bonus, a windfall, or a sizable inheritance, you may feel like taking some time out of the workforce. If so, keep in mind that there will be a cost linked to that decision – a lack of earned income, which counts in Social Security benefit calculations.
   
WEEKLY RIDDLE - I grind my feet upon the earth, my forward motion supported by a metal hearth. What I call food and drink was left behind by changes made in an ancient time. What am I?    
 
Last week’s riddle:
I went into the woods and got it. I brought it home in my hand and removed it. What am I talking about?
    
Last week’s answer:
A splinter.

Recipe of the week!

" I took a risk trying this recipe because it clearly didn’t fit into salmon recipes I’ve tried and loved before, but I trust my friend, Michelle, who gave it to me and know she has great food taste. Don’t you love knowing people like that? Me, too.

I’m here to say that the risk was well worth the taking. In fact, I think  this salmon is my all-time favorite preparation so far. " Mel's Kitchen Cafe
