I thought I would make fun of myself today.
There have been many many posts that have been written about Activerain and the balance it should have.
Some people like to post about Real Estate. Some people like to post about their life. Some people like to post jokes and some people like to post recipes. I'm not sure if I was the first one to come up with the idea but I can tell you it is my content. Maybe I just altered it a bit. So I thought it would be nice to add balance on Activerain.
I thought it would be interesting to incorporate all of them into one post.
First my little joke or should I say someones little joke....I was driving down the highway in Florida this weekend and I didn't realize that I was speeding. I was pulled over by a police officer and I opened my window and I handed him my drivers license and said ..."what's the problem officer?" He said "May I see your Real Estate License and insurance card?" I couldn't understand why he was asking me for my Real Estate license...he said "Well .....there are more drivers with valid Real Estate licenses then drivers licenses in Florida and they need insurance more than some of our drivers."
Now my Real Estate post....I thought a few of you would be interested in my market report that you might have missed recently.

Now my recipe for potato pancakes post.....
My recipe is quite simple...below is how I make them. Please feel free to steal my recipe if you really like my ingredients.
- 12 Baking potatoes...peeled and sliced into smaller pieces
- 2 large onions....skinned
- 2 table spoons of minced garlic
- 2 large eggs mixed
- A dash or two of pepper
- A dash of salt...not too much!
- 1/4 cup of flour for binding purposes

Take your potatoes and run them through a food processor until they are in a paste form consistency. Do not shred them. I find this way they stay together much better and also give a different texture to it. Go through the same steps with your onions separately. Put both your potato and onion paste into a strainer and squeeze out as much of the water as you can...this will eliminate the chance of you getting splattered by the cooking oil when they hit the pan.
Take your them and put them a a large bowl and mix all of the ingredients together but mix the eggs in last. You will then need a large serving spoon and a spatula. Use any kind of vegetable oil and fill a large nonstick frying pan about half way with the oil. (you might have to add additional later). Turn up your heat to about level 9. Test to see if your oil is hot enough by taking a few drops of water on your fingers and drop them into the pan. If it crackles you should be ready to go. Then use your spoon and start to shape your pancakes as you drop them into your oil. Please keep an eye on them to make sure you do not burn each side.

Once each side is golding brown you will want to put them onto a large plate covered with two levels of paper towels. then you need to turn them once you fill the plate up. Continue to add one piece of paper towel to each level until all are finished. Then take another large plate and put fresh paper towels down just to get off the excess oil. This way they won't be too greasy.
And finally my serious post about my dog Roscoe.....it was just too long to re-post it..... so just click on the link if you want to read it.
