There are those who think that living in a small town is boring - just talk to those Bluffton natives who couldn't wait to graduate and head out for the big city.
And then there are those of us who know otherwise. Boredom is simply a matter of being unable to create activity. Parents know how quickly their children can think of something else to do when, upon hearing the plaintive "I'm bored", a parent suggests some unappealing chore.
This recipe came from an Hellman's Mayonnaise ad in the '60s. It is a delicious company recipe - very attractive too.
Curried Eggs on Rice
1 cup Hellman's Real Mayonnaise(substitutes make this a less-tasty but lighter dish - don't use Miracle Whip which is a salad dressing, not a mayonnaise)
1 cup dairy sour cream(or plain yogurt - again - lighter taste)
In her book, "Eat, Pray, Love," Elizabeth Gilbert talks about traveling to Italy to experience pleasure, a concept that she finds foreign. During her first few weeks in Rome, she struggles with coming to grips with what "pure pleasure" really is. Gilbert says that "pure pleasure is not my cultural paradigm," explaining that she grew up in a family of hard workers who were not given to idleness.

It's difficult to explain to someone who didn't live through the 1980s just how quickly and completely Star Wars saturated our culture during that decade. All of my friends, male and female, had Star Wars action figures, lunch boxes, breakfast cereal, bed sheets, underpants, etc.
