| Easy lunches for on-the-go adults
It's time to get the lunch boxes out, and I don't just mean the ones with Dora, Barbie or Spider-Man. I'm talking about the ones that we adults who are back in school will be carrying. I realize each of you who is reading this will not be back in school this week or at a job away from home, but I believe the recipes I share today for "take-out" will be just as good for at-home lunches or suppers. I really believe home-cooking is more nutritious and much less expensive than eating out for every meal. (However, when it's too hot to cook or I am "tired to the bone," I often try to convince my husband to the contrary.) I am shocked at how much my friends say they spend weekly for lunches from mostly fast-food restaurants. Many times my fellow teachers comment about my "homemade" lunch.
We have ways of making you talk
FROM breakfast chats to late-night celebrity confessions, Australian television is awash with talk. It is the medium's most efficient way of filling the hours and most of it happens outside of what we have come to call the talk show. There are game shows, cooking programs, science demonstrations, travel documentaries, comedy panels, quizzes and late-night desk-and-sofa satires where politics is played for laughs. From Sunrise on Seven at 6am to Studio B with Shepard Smith Live on Fox News 23 hours later, TV talkers never shut up. Even big shows that are ostensibly about things other than interviews are filled with chat. Dancing with the Stars, Thank God You're Here, Big Brother and Australian Idol all rely on people talking in encounters shaped by writers, producers and the interviewers, who can offer shoulders to cry on or be acute inquisitors.

Frisco Fest Overcomes Wet Weather
ROGERS -- Evening rain showers couldn't keep residents away from festivities at the 23rd Frisco Festival in Downtown Rogers on Friday.The streets filled with a sea of umbrellas while some children ran barefoot in the rain with huge grins on their faces, soaked from head to toe.The smell of freshly cooked chicken, kettle korn and funnel cakes wafted through the air while thunderstorms rolled overhead.Marge Wolf, president of Main Street Rogers said, "By the look of things people are still coming out."The rain helped cool off downtown and Wolf joked if it could "hold off until midnight and stop by 5 a.m. it will be perfect."Last year 25,000 people attended the festival and this year Main Street Rogers is hoping to exceed that number, Wolf said. .
